Aaaaaah yes, rubber bands !!!!!!!!! The supplied 8 rubber bands are sufficient to hold wing on, but will stretch in time & will need replacing. Otherwise wing will lift at front & cause violent up ele...

I had a receiver included with my DX6I when purchased, no doubt if the DX8 will come with one as well

Nothing wrong with Turnigy batteries from Hobby King NSW warehouse, will serve the purpose well (Gary is an avid fan of the turnugy nanotechs) And on other threads you will see discussions on the HK o...

Call me biased and repetative, but from my experience, the E-flite apprentice would have to be the perfect trainer plane. It is so docile, built to counter tipstalling, tricycle landing gear and float...

Belated birthday wishes Bob, hope you had a great day, Cheers, Wayne

Have read posts about new planes to see ripping up the skies, but alas I will be at Culburra helping Margs mum move into a Nursing Home. Hope the weather gods get rid of their mishchevious smirks & al...

My congrats Gaz for the maiden flight on Sunday, truly looked magnificent. People unaware that it was a maiden flight would have thought you had dozens of hours of practice on it. A true credit to you...

Dont be in too much of an early morning hurry Gaz, I got there yesterday about 8.30ish and the dew hadnt dried off the runway resulting in plenty of cleaning needed of the underside of my plane

Sorry to be a smartarse, but I predicted the unsuitability of flying planes with wheels at McKoy & headed to Penrith. Closely mown grass on a firm base. Absolutely PERFECT flying conditions for all pl...

No probs, will pick up tomorrow at lunch. Seven Hills is on the way home for me, can drop it at your house. Email me your address .

Sounds like you are having fun Mick, waiting for things to dry out from a sloppy mess. Same as the rest of us, but you sand after drying instead of mowing. Presume you are using the silk I got for yo...

And to the person/people who has angered the rain gods (wont mention robs name), can he please apologise & reverse the forecasted next 30 days of rain.

No problems Gaz, I cannot believe that with so many eyes that followed the elusive little mongrel down into the reeds, the numerous tracks we (mainly you) forged through the swamp, the shouted contrad...

Thank you SB, SM & Jr for the mowing efforts, much appreciated & allowed a great takeoff & landing surface. Field is still highly damp so dont wander off the main strip or even think about venturing ...

Thanks Steve !!!!, really did not need to see that, you really know how to twist the knife already buried deep :upset:

If the weather at McKoy is anything like it is here at Culburra, you should all have a perfect flying day. Left the boat at home because of a crappy forecast & has been perfect boating weather. Went ...

Would be lovely to have & fly, shame we cant fly at Kellyville any more :twisted:

OMFG!!!!!!!! That was a shortlived storm we had but what an impact. Oh well, at least we dont have to worry of raking to get rid of the mower clippings :tounge: .

Looks bigger than it did in construction stage, awesome. Looking foreward to seeing it in the air.

Well found Jason. I liked the final comment "all right I didnt break it" one of the rare comments I am able to give my other half when I get home from flying

When Kev J dropped in, yes KB was mowing the cross strip (with Dave's mower), but it was Dave who deserves the biggest thank you for the majority of the mowing. There must have been a drizzle early th...

Just had a walk on our runway, bit sloshy underfoot with surface water on the eastern approach & where filled. Scattered paspalum stems. Saw post about opening at 8am, arrived 8.10 but nobody here but...

Oops & fixed. Admiration for all builders

Heaps of admiration for your work Mick, I still consider myself very much a novice in the RC aircraft hobby, still struggling in it's intricacies. Hope one day to do more than just look on as others p...

I have been using Phoenix for as long as I have been learning/flying & equally support the praises given so far. What was not mentioned was that our field is available to download as a Phoenix flying ...

Was able to fly Kambah soccer goals 3 out of four attempts a long time ago, shame I cant repeat that skill with my planes on real fields. Shows the element of stress removed from virtual flights.[hr] ...

The ground looks dry, skies are clear, old runway has no puddles & mowed neatly. Perfect flying conditions & original trojan fully repaired. Thank god for Phoenix

Looking out of my Wentie home window, I see clouds & wet stuff falling out of them. Looks like a non flying day.

Looks like it would have foot the bill, except as per my earlier post, bought a genuine parkzone motor from Ult Hobs & Trojan is rearing to go. Dont know about Bob, might definitely be a goer for him.

Picked up a metre today but made a mistake with the price, hope you ok with $14.99. Ooops still making mistakes, $4.99. But you can choose which price you want to pay.

No probs, will pick up an off white metre tomorrow

Hey buddy, I talked about possibly dying mowing in the heat, how would a 57yo guy survive a 30yo woman.

Tomorrow's forecast is for 37 degrees, not really OH&S mowing weather. I am back at work now & dont get home til late & dont have a mower. I have been a member of the precision mowing team before, but...

As per Pete's maiden report have decided to follow his setup as am happy with how his performs. Motor - G32, ESC - 60A Plush, Prop - 11x8 light Wooden, Batt - 3.0mah 4S. (0nly change to his setup is...

Thanks Kieran, price is a lot more respectable for this semi-scrooge, I will go the MG930 because of the metal gears (memories of Gazz's PC9 disintegrating crash with nylon gear servos). Pete still ...

Dropped into a Penrith fabric shop and they had Bem Silk Lining @ $5.95 per metre, happy to pick it up for you if you tell me how many metres required. White & off white both available.

Or lincraft in Parra Westfields. Will look anyway

Thanks Pete, those servos seem to fit the bill for quality, looks like I'll have to wear the price for the protection of the plane. Looked up the prop on HK, can I presume you got them from HK, but th...

Downloaded the manual for the Eflite Advance & MN48 Mini Servo by JR SPORT (3.5 kg torque) were recommended but are $24.00 each from Horizon Hobbies. Then I read the mixed reviews with multiple report...

I have been told that Cabramatta is the clothing material capital of Sydney. There are a few fabric shops that I walk past on my way to work at Penrith & will enquire for you. Colour?

Ended up buying genuine PZ T28 motor from Ult Hobs to ensure a flight next weekend. Edging closer to buying Eflite Advance, (pardon the pun) in advance going to order mini servos. Can anybody suggest ...

Claudios offer very much appreciated, but is 56mm long & many modifications needed. Gees I opened a can of worms. I respect the credentials of all of santa's little helpers, but confusion setting in a...

Thanks Steve. Looking at the Park 480- KV910 specs, looks like it will turn the trojan into a sporty little plane but couldnt see if it came with a prop adapter. Looking at their speedies, not sure...

Spot on Steve, but again I thank you guys for your efforts. Trying not fail from a lack of trying, spotted this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18229__Turnigy_D3536_9_910KV_Brushless_...

Hey Gaz, any luck with replacement servo arm for the P47. Cant even find them as a spare in the parts list from Parkzone.

Hi Daniel, I am still a novice to this entoxicatingly addictive hobby, and can best comment from experience that although the Cessna is a good training plane, a flight simulator (Phoenix in my opini...
