Love the updated radar. Note that GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is no longer. Due to the Yanks getting nerky about having to refer to Greenwich they managed to get it changed to UTC or Coordinated Univers...

Gday All I am a bee's you know what away from successfully negotiating 2 days worth of flying AND a trip to Kellets. :D Wish me luck. However will absolutely be there on saturday after the Kellets...

Whooaaa, that has to be the ultimate backyard. The weather seems to be tidying itself up nicely, wind is right down and the sun is shining. I am going to finish washing my daughters 15 tons of clothi...

Gday All Being one who flies a glider there is NO reason that the endurance record should be held by, of all things, a Stryker. :? I vow to endeavour to rectify this lamentable state of affairs. :...

GDay All I too am hoping for a shot later today however the wind is not expected to moderate until about 1800 hrs tonight as per Airservices Pilot Briefing. I intend to review at about 1400hrs as if ...

What an utterly crappo forecast for today. :( Prepared for: ROBFLIGHT YSSY SYDNEY AIRPORT WEATHER BRIEFING ISSUED AT 1658Z ON THE 28/08/2009 [0258 ON THE 29/08/2009 LOCAL] ...

Gday Steve The trick here is not to overcomplicate the matter. Your aileron throws should be exactly the same length, dihedral is not an issue, that merely makes the aircraft more stable around the l...

Gday Steve What specifically are you trying to find out about adverse yaw, I will be able to easily assist you with this. However, in a nutshell, it is caused by the fact that during a turn one ailer...

Gday Kev As an addition to my earlier comment you would slightly increase the roll rate using rudder however this would be via the yaw component. Note that you can use your tx switches to turn ail/ r...

Gday Kev I have aileron to rudder mix set up on all my aircraft, I use this to stop adverse yaw and keep the aircraft balanced in the initial part of a turn, I also use differential aileron, once aga...

That's a big shame that repairs would be too extensive. A midair is obviously a bigger hit than the powerlines however both seem to be pretty terminal in most cases. Bad luck story for sure. Cheers R...

Gday All Shame about the midair however a bit of glue and a quick buff should set things straight, I always seem to miss out on the "good" stuff. Kieran is obviously your basic menace in the air. I ...

Gday All Bind successful, trick was to totally ignore the Spektrum instructions and hold the bind button for bloody ages. Now all I have to do is work out why all my servo centres have changed? :? ...

Gday All Thanks for the tips on the 2.4 bind, I was indeed not holding the Trainer Switch on, can't seem to find any reference in the manual that states that though? Kieran that glider looks kickass,...

Gday All Pretty stoked now I am the new owner of a DX7 however am having trouble binding the bugger, I will try again tonight however may need some help with this one. Stay tuned. Look forward to se...

I too like the spoon intakes, nice idea and nicely executed. Hope you have a hole further aft for all the hot air to escape from. Cheers Rob B

Gday All See you on Saturday Kieran and co. Will try to squeeze in Sunday as well. Glider is refurb'd and ready as am I.

Gday Kieran Great info from you as always, the Motor/ ESC/ Battery / Prop combo chioce confuses the crap out of me, I also noted interesting points from the colour scheme link, great to know that my ...

Gday Kev, don't let Kieran being a big chicken put you off. Covering is actually quite simple if you get the iron temp right and tack in the right places, I am happy to assist with this, also don't fo...

Gday Kev It is a Piper J3 Cub ARF from Thunder Tiger, due to the crap weather I have had plenty of time to customise it. I am working on a full scale interior and have almost completed a scratchbuilt...

Don't sweat it Kev, my Living Room is routinely "reassigned" for more noble purposes. My daughters spare High Chair also makes a great temporary workbench. Cheers Rob B

This is an intersting topic considering that LiPo's are not cheap, I note that the serious RC'ers will generally heat their batteries up to about 55degreesC for optimum performance. Also, on the Extre...

Gday Kieran Great job on the site mate this is great stuff. I will not see you all this weekend as my glider is getting an overdue extensive refurb and also working on the uber cub. Cheers Rob B
