Hi Greg The last few months I've been working on my carbon fibre props and contra motor for my next Depron Index. Just small design imrprovements but they all add up. I'm now planning the next build...

Strip is cut and ready for a good day of flying tomorrow. srl

I’m still working to build the perfect Index3. Below is my latest contra motor and 3Dprinted prop moulds. Just made some improvements that have made the build process easier. The mould clamps now hav...

At last I now have a remote buddy box working for the trainer. Ken gave it a test today. Using EdgeTX on my FRsky 9xd2019 I used this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq1Lh-CIGXY sr...

Forms are attached for the wings flying test for members to practice. We can then get Jason V to give you a test. srl

Last one was just before the first lock down and was very well attended. Since then with dementia Graham Ferguson's health deteriorated and he passed away just over a year ago. srl

It looks good. I like how everyone is asking about AG01 stick upgrades on rcgroups. Also the CC2500 version only covers a few of the Frsky protocols(not DSM), looking at the posts it looks like 4in1 ...

It's a good reason Greg for anyone looking at flying model aircraft to join our club and fly at Mccoy field with all the proper CASA approvals under the MAAA (national association). srl

Hi Greg A few times I remember my FRsky X6R with Horus10x having a very brief LOS at the recovery of a inverted spin. All fine now since changing to PCB RX antennas and a Taranis 2019. srl

I've done a range test walk down the street with a RX. The TX log shows that it went from 25mw to 100 before the RX went into fail safe. I was happy that all was working well. It had good range too. ...

Hi Greg and members. To clarify for those new to ELRS. I believe that Ch5 disarm is for flight controllers in multi rotors and dos-not apply to our fixed wing PWM servo setups. Our PWM disarm on al...

Lots of flying today (Wednesday). Good to see Ian back with his new large build. srl
