A vote of thanks to all who have made me feel so welcome. A special mention to John Hale who intiiated me into the watching my plane doing a vertical landing. I surprised myself at how calmly I acce...

I have asked these questions, received many answers & when I speak to newbies at the field, try to pass on some of the basics I have learnt. Better it comes from people more experienced than me, but ...

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

Working at Penrith I often get to see local papers and the Roulettes formation caught my eye. This is promoted as the biggest flyover ever with up to 200 planes involved including the Roulettes. Copie...

On the way back from a guided tour our guide stopped for me to photograph Broken Hills flying club venue. Shelters, setup tables, toilets & NO MOWING What an excellent setup & only 1100km drive...

OMG :shock: what am I doing, took a trip to Hobbies in the Hills today and started looking at planes to make use of the motors from deceased planes and came home with this. http://www.e-fliterc.com/...

Arrived 1.00am, up at 5.00. On bus at Kakadu after river cruise. Cant work out how to add photos on my phone.

May we all be blessed with health, wealth & happiness in 2013. Many happy flights & safe landings. Cheers, Wayne

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.

Hi guys, thought I would start a new thread on this subject so as to keep postings from straying of topic. Surgery went to plan & day 2 is seeing a reduction of pain & on the road to recovery. Many...

Thanks for the comments Steve and I had full intention of letting it hibernate with my HK F4U Corsair until I am ready to stick twitch it with the big guys. I believe I am advancing reasonably quickly...

Hi Bob, I purchased Turnigy 3s 20-30c 1600mah batteries for my HK Cessna. Measures 95 x 33 x 25mm weighing a tad over 140g. I will be there on the weekend and you are welcome to a test fit. $10.99 fr...

Although I will be home in time, by that time I will be all travvelled out. Have clocked up nearly 2500km so far and am only in Mudgee on way home. So will be a McCoy field fly for me.

Mind boggling madness, hope you have thick soles on your boots, will take some stopping

Does this discharger have the ability to fully discharge a battery to a level that the battery can be legally disposed of in a domestic garbage bin?

Nice one Rob, glad to see you have joined the jokers sect of our club.

PRCAC now PRCFBC (Parramatta Radio Control Flying Boat Club).

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...

Thanks for the reply Kieran, Followed instructions which appeared to work, however prop, although did respond to throttle, did not return to zero and idled over. Disconnected battery, turned off rad...

Thanks steve, but excuse my ignorance for terminologies. As Pauline Hanson says "Please edxplain":D[hr] pardon my typing too

Thanks to all. Frustration setting in. Have tried every suggestion & feel like I am fighting a losing battle. Will bring to field on Saturday & try for some live help. Apologies to all whose time I h...

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...

Many thanks to John & Kevin for your assistance Saturday. I really appreciate your contributions to my huge learning curve. Please let me know if I am consuming too much of your "flying time". Did n...

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.

Thanks guys, they all look great and for me is a toss-up between the HK Air Racing Nemesis & the E-flite Advance. 2 things lean me towards the Advance 1. e-flite & HK are chalk & cheese in that order ...

I originally intended this thread to be aimed at newbies to the hobby as a point of reference for them to get the basics of flying. My original post included a link to a site that explained basic term...

That guy on the demo certainly showed his ability to throw an obviously manoeverable machine around. Unfortunately to my untrained eye, it just ;ooked like it was out of control & readyto crash most o...

If we are manifesting a one stop shop for all, we need food & drink with style. Perhaps a hooters bistro in the casino?

Looking good Jason, you never fail to amaze me with your enginuity in building models of your own design. Keep up the good work

Wow, that is huge, I am guessing over 2 metres. Well done george, will look impressive in the air, where & when is it's maiden.

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

Craig got stung by one of them during the last bushcare day and stated the next day that the pain had increased rather than subside. I imagine in Europe there are more than 1 species of wasp and which...

Have a great birthday Paul, keep 'em coming, there's room for plenty more birthdays.

Belated birthday wishes Owen, hope that old man of yours was generous.

Birthday wishes Steve, hope another plane has arrived to celebrate the occasion. Cheers, Wayne

Was wondering why u flying Sunday this weekend, Birthday concessional pass. Happy Birthday Gazza, hope its a good one for you.

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

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...

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

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys (I agree with Rob we 11 April birthday guys are awesome). I also got an awesome birthday gift from Margaret, a voucher for a 30 minute flight over the Hunter Valley...

Best wishes for your birthday Kieran, hope is the beginning of a good year for you

Happy birthday Steve, hope you got one of Jonathans aforementioned crashproof planes for your birthday, or at least one that survives cartwheels after low passes.

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

I have always been an advocate of the E-flite Apprentice http://www.modelflight.com.au/planes/electric-planes/e-flite-apprentice-s-15e-rc-plane-bnf.html as it was the plane that gave me the flying con...

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...

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 will be there too and this time will take a few planes to fly.

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...

Or lincraft in Parra Westfields. Will look anyway

Oops & fixed. Admiration for all builders
