Definitely a shorter pushrod than mine. Not sure what to do.

Turning servo's around would require even shorter push rods. Holes for servo's precut.

Have just started my build of this monster. 1st task was hinging the ailerons - no problems. 2nd - instal the aileron servos, push rods & control horns. Supplied pushrods are 110mm long & I estima...

Took a walk down to the field today to see the result of recent rain. Small puddle at first entry gate, driveway in was firm & able to withstand drive in without sliding. Parking area firm underfoot. ...

This thread raised much discussion last year and worth a read again by our newbies. A redbelly was spotted today when retrieving a plane from the reeds. Hopefully this notice wont do anything more tha...

Doo doo do do, doo doo do do (think twilight zone).

Originally prop vibration on the Extra 300EP was a flimsy firewall extension which was suitable braced. When it started vibrating again, I thought it was loose bolts securing motor. Tightened them & s...

Looks like Willyweather got it totally wrong today. Called in at the field early afternoon & found the diehard fliers tearing up the skies. As Gazz said tomorrow looks even better & I will be there to...

My flight in the lightened Extra 300 EP was less than impressive, attempted loops gave an excessive roll. Thought I may have accidently intruduced rudder with up elevator so paid particular attention ...

I have been recovering from a bug for a week only returning to work on Thursday. Althought the weather tree is not moving or dripping water and the radar is clear, the clouds look ominous. I am not su...

Weather forecast for tomorrow is not looking crash hot. 95% morning rain easing to showers in the afternoon. Will check the weather guage tree from my front window in the morning. It is very acurate...

Thanks guys, is ready for flight on Saturday. COG set at 30%. Placed my battery in the same position as SRL, very secure but not as mobile for changing COG. Sits sideways passing through the horisonta...

Had searched this complete thread for COG measurement & couldn't locate it. I followed the 30% rule from the leading edge (7.5cm) to get the battery in place. I was looking on RC groups for colour sch...

Not good news Andrew, hope the surgery goes well for you. Try flying model planes instead of running, that way you will only wear out batteries, not knees. Will be good to hear the speakers from your ...

Thanx Gazz, must admit I didnt look in light electric wooden props in HK, just APC. I thought the APC props would be lighter, but on checking the wooden ones are lighter.

Took my new World Models Extra 300 EP up into the air on Saturday, and while landing, I was about 1m off the ground and flairing in when it suddenly dropped vertically onto the wheels, bending 1 strut...

Thanks Gazz for the heads up on a bigger model for me. Them's the nice words, but holy hell, I would also need to buy a new car. I know I wanted to start flying bigger models, but I think for the ti...

Struggled a bit to locate "Smart Aluminium" no street numbers anywhere on Erskine Park Rd. I entered the complex after taking a wrong guess first time. Parked the car in a carpark near the entry & th...

Looks like another great day for flying tyomorrow. I will be opening at my usual time 8 - 8.30 tomorrow to set up the field unless some eager beaver beats me to it. Decided tonight not to post my r...

The wind tests our flying at best, At times it is really a pest, Trees make the wind swirl around, and planes head towards the ground. Thumbs twitch to keep the plane level, but the wind is the c...

The wind this month has blown & blown, When the wind will stop, this is not known. Forecast for tomorrow is the high side of light, so charge up your batteries, get ready for flight. 8 -8.30 I wi...

Haven't started on the build yet, is 3rd in line in the build queue. Ordering the adjustable stand-off from the US seems a bit over the top when I have such a kind offer From Jason. Next time I am in ...

Needing to buy some stand-offs for my new Edge 540 motor. Adjustables will be preferred. I know Gazza bought some, would like to know where I can get some. Cheers guys

Taken while I was setting up the field for flying today. At the Grace end of the strip. I suppose we can thank our lucky stars the they didn't choose centre strip to perform their act of vandalism. I ...

They say Dinosaurs only had brains the size of a peanut. At least they had more brains than the mindless idiots that chose our runway again to practice donuts.

Get in early for your flights today guys, wind forcast has increased speed. Not as bad as yesterday, but will test the lighter planes & the faint hearted.

Tomorrows wind forecast is gusting up to 15kph, not as good as last Sunday but worth shaking the cobwebs off planes. Will be there 8.00 - 8.30 as usual to set up the field.

By 9.00am the now almost calm winds are forecast to exceed 35kph, I take my hat off to anybody willing to fly in that (the word Kamikaze springs to mind). In my build chair I will stay. Dont see much ...

Some wives just dont understand priorities. Maybe a stretch wagon might be in order. Is anybody going to brave the wind tomorrow?

Not looking good for tomorrow, 8am wind forecast is a gusty 23kph increasing as the day progresses. We saw about 4 planes bite the dust last weekend with slight winds. Although it is good to get used...

Congratulations Captain, a super effort given your current dexterity situation. If I had been attempting that job it would have been 2 & a half weeks, my entire expletive collection used 10 times ov...

What choice of plane is very difficult. Something Claudio said to me once has stuck with me and is along the lines of Andre's comment. It all depends on where you want to progress to. Some want to bec...

You will also need a USB to audio mono cable

The bug has definitely bitten you Russ, hope your wallet has secret resourses for refills. Don't know how to help with the sim problem, sorry. But as you heard on the weekend & not just from me, it i...

"Wayne, . New Dx6i arrived by Courier today, asking or your help to set up on Weekend" Congrats Russell, can I presume mode 1? Am happy to set it up for you on Saturday. Again I presume your DX6i ...

Well done Ben & I believe we have several other prospective bronze wingers amongst us. Gather up the courage and get tested, you might be surprised.

No probs Frank, you can have first bid on Saturday

Beats storing it at home eh Chris :lol: . Was going to auction it off but by the time I noticed it didnt belong to anybody, there weren't enough people to get a reasonable bid. Will start the biddi...

Somebody keeping Smuzz company at the field today left their fold up chair behind. I have brought it home with me & will bring it to the field next Saturday.

The weather gods are shining on us for tomorrow. No rain & low single digits kph winds. I intend opening up 8-8.30am as usual. Looking forward to seeing you all there tomorrow. Dont forget AGM 11am. ...

Hi guys (Dave & Russ), nice to meet both of you & welcome to our club. We are a sociable bunch who equally love to fly & socialise. Was my pleasure to introduce you both to some hands on flying. Havi...

Sorry guys I wont be able to do my usual early morning open & field setup. Wont get there until about 10am, got a HK parcel to pick up from the post office & some new lenses for my glasses.

Forecast for wind today has changed. Winds increasing to over 20kph expected after 10am. Best to get in for early flights today

I will be at the field again tomorrow 8 - 8.30 as per usual to set up field for another great day's flying. Willy says negligible winds in the morning increasing to 10 - 15 kph in the arvo. See you al...

Has been a while but Willy has presented us with a ZERO % chance of rain & sub 10kph winds all day tomorrow & mostly under 15kph on Sunday. What a cracker weekend for flying :D :D . I will be at the f...
