On my way if timing ok

I was too self indulged tidying up from yesterday & looking at trojan damage (more than first seen until wing removed, but still repairable) and before logging into forum, was too late to join you at ...

Nosed my Trojan into muddy Penrith swamp & motor need a good clean (plus epoxy to fuse lol). Has been suggested to strip motor down & rinse out, then blow dry. Have motor out of plane, cant undo grub ...

See you there Gaz, Trojan repaired & ready for another onslaught of punishment on it's landing gear. Hopefully get used to landing it as softly as I do on Phoenix

Initial read had me curious as to the credibility of the stated finds & conclusions, That was until I finished reading about the Aussie's report & then began much laughter. That happens so rarely read...

I used to use that stuff on my ex after a rare smile :twisted:

Like I said, no obligation, will not break the bank if not sold & can be stored until I gain confidence in its build. By the way Stinson is no longer up a tree (your signature)

Hi Claudio, Mini Angel wing ribs are first covered with balsa & then film, making it impossible to see the ribs. Poking a carbon rod down the wing spar hole, I was able to determin ribs are spaced app...

Now that is a nice glider, very much upping the size, but ouch, has upped the ante somewhat. Maybe he could go one of these http://www.gfa.org.au/imis15/GFA/Classifieds/GFA/Member_Services_Content/Cla...

Onya Gomer (Pyle), guess what, I will be there too, to exercise my new wings

Hi Claudio, at a PEMAC swap meet, I bought a Mini Angel 2.6m glider, Balsa wing & fibreglass body. I think I bit off more than I can chew in getting it to flying condition (no electrics supplied) and...

No posts today about flying this weekend. Given the report on McCoy's condition, I presume area 51 will be the go again. Will anybody be opening the gates Saturday morning?

Thanks Drew, I know the wings in the profile is only a formality but was an important one for me. I believe I (and my instructors) worked hard to earn those wings, and seeing the wings there just adds...

Gaz, thanks for my bronzed wings now, but what formalities are necessary to record the wings on my members profile

Oops, missed the birthday wishes on the day, but here's belated cheers for your birthday. Hope you had a good day.

or maybe even these for McCoy http://www.divers-supply.com/Snorkeling-Package-of-the-Month-P109100.aspx

Maybe our club could diversify http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17899__HobbyKing_Swamp_Dawg_Air_Boat_ARR_.html , fine weather is not forecast for a while yet

What an awesome display of unbelievable RC planes, was the most entertaining day I have had for a long time. One jet overshadowed all others with it's 400 kph + passes & super G turns. I know Gary wa...

Am presuming from field condition reports that Kelso is out of the question for the weekend. Have had one weekend flying my new T28 and am looking forward to another weekend of flying (thanks to Gaz I...

Damn, an intro to morning BBQ brekkies and I will be partaking in another passion, fishing at Lake Glenbawn, near Scone. Have a great weekend flying guys & happy landings.

Also Thanks for the Help Yesterday, Your Field bag is getting quite impressive with all the bits and pieces, Just missing that mini Drill lol.[/b] Steve Already have a 600w inverter, a small drill ...

Thanks for the advice fellas, can prfoceed with confidence now. I can see a few preferences for connectors, which reminds me of an old saying of mine, there is no such thing as good and bad (in most t...

Happy birthday Mick & Paul, wishing you both a great year with uneventful fun flying. Cheers

It has been suggested to change all power plugs to the one type & bullet plugs seem to be the go. From the speedie, should the red go to the male or female pin. Hope I have explained the question und...

Geeez, Steve & Gaz arguing the age stuff, I am 7 years older than both of you and just starting out. So I am reaping the rewards of having a young instructor help me to gaining my wings & I thank him ...

Was looking out the back door, saw the tops of the trees blowing about in the rain & also thought today might be a write-off for flying. Monday has a slim chance now that we dont have to suffer a sogg...

Sounds like a plan, will be there & may even bring an apple for the teacher. I want to see you eat the apple while the planes talk.

Whilst waiting for the gate to open this morning, a Toongabbie resident kindly notified me of a wayward plane landing in a neighbours house. He later delivered the plane to the field and was quite ha...

Thanks Jason, Some worthy suggestions , some on backorder, might order a few motors in stock, not all that expensive & can leave unused as spares for future or individual tryouts for performance. Wo...

Hi guys, purchased a mini angel glider at penrith club swap meet & have been searching internet for a suitable motor, speedie & folding prop to match. Plane not featured on many sites but specs found ...

My partners sons wedding tomorrow, I will be knee deep in the proverbial if I attend the field. Have a good day flying guys, hope to see you Sunday.

A late entrant in this series of birthday wishes. I dont know how old your avatar is but I see that the jug is a known quantity for your celebrations. Cheers old mate, glad to see you join me in the 5...

Am hoping to be there at least on Saturday with my resurrected P47 Thunderbolt & Apprentice to see if I get a window in the weather for a few flights. At least the commercial pilots to & from Vanuatu ...

Hoping to have an early fly this morning, what time will somebody be at the field this morning to open. Have a lunch time birthday celebration with relo's & hoping to get a last fly in before a few we...

Well done Jason, looks good and I bet some lucky 9yo learner will have a blast under your watchful eye (& umbilical cord I presume). Look forward to seeing it fly.

That shop is where I bought my P 47 Thunderbolt, BNF @ $249 I thought was an exceptional local price. Had a big range of props as well. Is well worth a look around.

I have read in a magazine that planes flying nose heavy, fly difficult, planes flying tail heavy fly once. A little modification after debut will tell the story

Drew,I dont know how much thought went into your comments, but they were certainly noteworthy for expansion of the origional proposal. I often hear & read discussions on builds/repairs/modifications a...

I am sure all appreciate the efforts in preparing the field for a possible weekend of flying. I did not attend the field last weekend due to my need for a runway solid enough to at least support wheel...

No further comments needed. Was just trying to be helpful.

Whilst mowing the lawn last week, I couldnt help thinking that a ton or so of topsoil in low lying places would minimise puddling. The low spots could be filled gradually, at the end of Sunday flying,...

BOM forecast for tomorrow & next 6 days is showers, mainly near the coast. Am hoping to get in some stick time 2mrw before the field becomes Lake McCoy again. Will anybody flying 2mrw be able to budd...

I would say bugger & that sucks too, except the only part I understood was "I can't get one until Easter is over so the Logo is grounded", so I will tone it down to "never mind, it's time will come" :...

Thanks guys, but I cant take all the credit, just a great plane and a great supervisor. I certainly have started my collection in a fllurry Dave, but if you look near the end of the Parkzone Messers...

Given my thread calling for opinions on my intended purchase of the BF109 Messerschmitt I can hardly blame Pete for confusing my P47 Thunderbolt. Thank you Kieran for doing the honours of take-off & s...
