Gday All For those who missed it i'll try to put some perspective on the downpour. It was so heavy that it was raining "inside" the train I was on going home. The roof leaked it's nuts off in the...

G'day All I would hazard a guess that McCoy is going to be stuffed for some time. The storm that zapped through late yesterday dumped what could best be described as a biblical amount of rain. ...

Gday Wayne At 2.6m glider should not be allowed to have mini in its name. She looks like a very nice glider. Gazz pointed this beast out to me last night, it would carry the Claudio FPV rig wit...

G'day Jason A quick zip around with an endoscope indicates I do not have the pitch you need. Sorry mate Also, have I just made the first arse/ fart joke on the PRCAC website? If so can I get som...

Gday Gazz I'll have you know that having props coming out of ones arse is incredibly handy. My prostate is actually a very high kv inrunner so if I connect a 4S battery to my balls when I fart I c...

Gday Jason If Steve cannot assist I have props coming out of my arse, will check to see if I have what you need (likely) when I get home tonight. Cheers Rob B

Mr JellyV Good to hear you are having a good time with the heli. They are infectious things. Following Daves comments I hazard that the esc is fritzy or you may have a dry solder joint somewhere. A ...

G'day Frank You went to bed too early mate. The cloud cover wasn't quite 10/10 so a good view was around from time to time. You made it for longer then me Paul, I died at about 0115hrs. Did it clear ...

G'day Gazz I would use the dining room table however the sniper is on it getting the ailerons re hinged. One if them was seriously out of wack, the other was borderline. :D It would be nice to hav...

Gday All Ok I found what one looks like; http://gravity-werx.com/airlinetubingcutter.aspx So we are looking at a blade with a hinge! I think a lightly heated scalpel will do the job just as we...

Great photo Paul. It was a shame the cloud rolled in on cue pretty much right when the eclipse started. Cheers Rob b

G'day All Just about to start on the air retracts fir the viper. Manual refers to an air line cutting tool. Anyone know WTF that is? Cheers Rob b

Gday Dave Happy birthday mate. Hope your day went around, and round, and round and........ Hovered a bit Then around again and again... Note: Autorotate powerless at midnight likely. Cheers ...

G'day Mr JellyV Nice buy mate, you have hours of white knuckled fun ahead of you. The set up can be a bit daunting at first however makes sense after a while. It's great Dave can help you, will save ...

G'day All I won't comment as to whether this page is getting too technical, however, I will say it is getting pretty funny. Dave your description of initial motor prop etc selection brings back mem...

Amen Gazz I agree with you 100%, if the facility you have paid for is not useable then payment should be deferred or refunded. Having said that what can the council really do and how much responsibil...

Gday Gazz Yeh I like the samste calculation too. The KevJ calc is even easier, if the batt/esc/motor combo rips the firewall out all is good. Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve I know what you mean, I work at the speed of dark building aircraft due to the excessive planning/ do I or don't I phase. Beer is consumed during this process. Having said that once I...

G'day Dave Glad you are optimistic mate however my back lawn is still quite spongy. I do hope your right though and the field is in flyable shape. Cheers Rob B

G'day fellow Vipernauts My first thought in regards to the elevators was to mount the servos up near the fan. Then use goldnrod routed up the fuse outside the duct tube to connect to the elevators....

G'day Frank Seeing as PRCAC is an all electric club you are in the right spot to get some excellent advice. May I suggest you post up some specific questions so we can get started? In the interim pay...

G'day All Nice vid Gazz, looking forward to upcoming episodes. Quick question, when you join an edf motor to esc do you use bullets or just solder wire to wire? Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve Is Hannah the chick who was largely a test pilot and flew ME262's during their development or do I have her confused with someone else? Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz Yep the weather is diabolical, I am in town and cannot see the tops of most of the high rise buildings. Cheers Rob b

G'day All Judging from the constant rain overnight here at toonie I would say mc coy is well and truly underwater. Cheers Rob b

G'day Gazz Geez, did you insult the god of retract servos at some stage in the past? You seem to have some fun and games with the ol retracts. I recall a similar tirade from you when you were setting...

Gday Dave I use flaps and/ or flaperons on my gliders. Using the 3 position Flap switch I start in the middle (POS 1 zero flap/ clean wing), POS 0 (Flap up/ reflex) POS 3 (Flaps down), I have the A...

Gday Steve The correct power curve descriptors could be: Stock Adequate Ample Heaps Irresponsible KevBlazeviched Cheers Rob B

Gday Jason I have quite literally just finished reading right through that thread, I guess our major point of difference is that I am using an edf rather then a prop. Cheers Rob B

Gday Dave Apologies, completely misinterpreted your post? Cheers Rob B

Gday Jason I am going to use square carbon rod for the main spar and then grp rods for secondary transverse spars and then smaller sections back to the trailing edges. I have based this on the meth...

Gday Dave Go digital mate, I use 11g HK digitals, they are cheap as chips, pretty fast and punch out 2kg. I have 8 on order right now. (See my HK order for the link). Only caveat is that their dead...

Gday Mr Barnesy Yep I will be there on the 16th, I have been looking forward to this since about 10 secs after I switched the mike off last year. Your ph # for me is correct, just got your msg. Just...

Gday Jason The cores are awesome, thanks heaps. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Will see you next weekend at the field to $ you up. Gonna be a hoot getting a 64mm mercury EDF installed, and hacking...

Gday kv And I am testing their smaller version soon? Big bro of the 64mm on the way? Cheers Rob b

G'day Gazz Yeh I am in the same boat, other stuff to finish. Having said that............. Looks too damn nice! also, seeing as you are a 90mm fan expert could you look over my HK order for the ...

Gday All Although I really should not be buying any more aircraft this puppy is making me drool uncontrollably. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19730__G500_Fiberglass_90mm_x_2_EDF_1860m...

G'day George Just sms's you, where are you going to be today? A51 or mc coy. Looking at the size of the box there is no way that is going to fit in my car!? Cheers Rob b

Gday Arron I know what you mean, I literally cannot remember when I last had a fly of my fixed wing stuff. I have this sexy looking box with all sorts of switches lights and shit on it, it has DX8...

Gday George No worries, we should consult the resident jet jockeys re good fans etc for this baby. There is plenty of 90mm jet action occurring at the moment within the club so I expect we will ha...

SOLD I will give you a yell to seal the deal. Cheers Rob B

G'day Jason Good stuff, I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the core. Thanks again for organizing this. Cheers Rob B

G'day All Nothing like a good mid air to spice up the day however there is the safety aspect to consider as well as courteous airmanship on the flightline. We should not forget that the absolute ...

G'day John Greetings from downunder. I am in agreeance with Dave, the nanotech packs from Hobby King are hard to beat. The turnigy 3S 2650 nanotechs that I use have a discharge rating of 35 to 70C an...

G'day Kv Whilst trying to get my head around just how awesome a turbine powered Habu would be I realised I could make some enquiries on Monday to see if we have any jobs around for you at Flitech w...

G'day guys Keep an eye on the weather I am at Syd airport and it is raining here now. Cheers Rob b

G'day Andrew Hope the trip to the cutter goes well today. See you back in deck soon. Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz I too don't really follow the Ford\ Holden thing. The cars are purpose built race cars and are so far removed from the street models that aside from the overall shape they are on a diff...

Gday All Rotating off the water too early could cause that violent wing drop, if the aircraft was rotated below stall speed as soon as she got out of ground (water) effect a true stall would potent...

Gday Paul Easy inspiration is too look at how the real thing does the job, then duplicate in minature. My project is a 767-300, 4m span. Fuse is built out of geodesic carbon rod and fibre, wings...
