Nothing wrong with the eratix, just wanting something cheaper to practice the 3D before pushing the Eratix beyond aerobatics. Was talking to SRL at Hurstville indoor flying last thursday & he was quo...

Thanks Gazz, good to have this thread used as a means of getting general info to advance skills rather than a question & answer thread like Q & A Thread For Newbies & Old Hands Alike.

Not the most ideal flying conditions with the wind in the high teens, but at least no rain. Heading to the field about 8.30. See y'all there, for those who dare

I do like model flight in Adelaide as an Australian distributer. $224 with free shipping is not bad. You are likely to eventually upgrade later, but you wont lose much if you sell it later when upgrad...

Don't give yourself too high an expectation of skill level. You will have one of our instructors to assist with flying if you feel you need it and all we ask is for you to fly within our boundaries sa...

Happy birthday Kieran, hope you have a good day, my!! how time flies not just the planes. Cheers

Thanks Kieran, is a problem now for those who cant afford both. Although PEMAC's previous associate membership & full membership has negligible $ difference.

Thanks Chris, the efforts are appreciated.

Mucdoneh more patience & skill than I could ever hope to achieve. Well

Had 3 good flights, but it likes to roll when looping. Probably because I did not get the horizontal stab parallel with main wing. May have to mix aileron with elevator.

A bit windier tomorrow but still gentle & under 15km & no rain. I will open about 8.30ish unless beaten to it by our early birds.

Been to the tight arse tuesday movies with son. Thanks guys

Wire tensions appear consistant when moving the servo arm. Control Horn extension?? Not sure what you mean and nothing in the kit seems to match that description. There was an extended servo arm tha...

Jason your blood is worth bottling, will be accepted with huge amounts of gratitude. Will wait for Craig to get a response from Super n Cheaper and give them a chance to rectify their mistake befor...

I will be opening the field approx. 8.30 tomorrow. Looks like good flying conditions windwise but a small chance of rain.

Definitely walk in only this weekend guys (no exceptions). Surface water on all of the field. Is only 4 deg at the moment & not going to get much warmer. I am going home to stay warm. All you diehards...

Thanks Ingo, Followed instructions very carefully, even managed to find "reset'. A glimmer of successful fulfilment filled my grey matter when the "oh Susanna" tune eminated from the ESC and the pro...

Well done Jason, nicely captured & flown.

Thanks for the compliment. Compliment returned for your editing, excellent job. Looking forward to seeing how you edit my Pulse flight. If you edit out all the bad bits, I imagine 15 seconds should do...

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...

Just visited the field & with just 6mm of rain here (2km SE of field), there was significant amounts of surface water on over 50% of the strip. runway shortened by 30m both ends because of pooling. Pr...

Was at the field late this morning & Andy was there with his son and flew a skipper & a flying wing. Both without wheels & handled the sloppy field. There was surface water on 100% of the field and is...

Well done Darren, it certainly looked impressive in the air and a credit to your attention to detail when building.

Are you one of the many people suffering from Triskaidekaphobia. :shock: Perhaps this is the reason so few of us turned up to fly today. Personally I thought it best to test it's validity on the first...

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 ...

Judging from Bob's & my field condition posts, I would say tomorrow is another build day. I will take an early morning trip to the field to further report on strip condition & post about 7.30am for al...

Looks like a fair bit of rain is going to stuff up our field today. If possible, can someone do a report this arvo. Pete, you mentioned bike wheel ruts, can u please expand on that comment.

Thanks for that Rob, will be on order next pay, just had to replace front disks & rotors on the IX35 & said goodbye to $730. Cheers Wayne (not Frank lol)

I too am finishing off a plane, ETA 9.00 ish

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

Samste, when you try to remember how to fly again, please try to remember stick down to climb :D

Hi Pete, nice to hear from you. I have been up and about, even went to indoor flying last night, courtesy of my chauffeur Steve Lange. Did not fly but was great to catch up with a few guys. I am sti...

If I am to photoshop myself into the picture, would like to include the 3.3m piper pawnee as my possession on the day

I look out the window at the wind guaging tree, and branches are swaying a little wild & free. Rain clouds are looming & threaten a shower, so if your flying today, dont go light on the power. Am ...

The wind looks reasonable today & is certainly calm at the moment........ but rain?..... hmmmmm. Weather radar shows rain off the coast but moving in. Everything looks wet outside so I presume overnig...

Pass the parcel is a commonly used term where there is only 1 transmitter which the learner will pass to the instructor when difficulties arise. This means you will have to have a mode 2 instructor. ...

Westmead it is, now looks like I had a mild heat attack. Sorry Pete but my mower will be having a rest for a while.

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...

Guessed it in one. Next flight, right wing fell off & that means only one direction for it & fast and it is no more.

Took a trip to the field today to see if the soggy areas have dried out enough for mowing and got a rude shock. Somehow a truck of some description has left deeeeep furrows accross our strip :evil: :e...

A cracker forecast for tomorrow and strip freshly mowed. Strip is mildly restricted but certainly manageable without much trouble. I will open at my usual 8.00 - 8.30 and set up, looking forward to ...

Almost wet myself laughing, although only because I had been prewarned he was talking gibberish. It all rolled off his tongue so artfully believable, would have easily thought I was simply not underst...

IT happened, but no pics, sorry

Emotional support eh, you are so kind. Suppose you didnt supply the drinks either, I think you owe Smuzz one of his fancywancy import beers :leet:

I will be opening about 8.30 again tomorrow for a few hours flight.

Sorry for the late notice but I am pleased to advise that indoor flying is on again tomorrow night from 7.00 pm at Hills Adventist College Multi Purpose Centre, Cnr Hezlett and Gum Nut Close, Kellyv...

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?

At the field today, I picked up 2 screws with knurled knobs. I believe they are used to screw wings onto the fuse. Anybody missing these screws, I still have in my possession.

Thanks Jason, would have been nice to have you there for it's maiden seeing as you had a hand in choosing it's power train. Am going to restrict it to PEMAC for a while until I get used to landing the...
