Anybody going to the airshow this weekend. Would be nice to catch up with a few guys. http://www.wingsoverillawarra.com.au/

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...

It has been suggested that I create a build log for my recently purchased Super & Cheaper MX2. This will be a blind leading the blind thing but am willing to give it a go. I suppose the first thing is...

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...

Those of you who are also PMAC members would have received an email from Mark Fenlon notifying that a red belly black snake has been sighted active at their Hart Field. I am not sure if Joe Blakes fre...

http://seagullmodels.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=105 Have been looking at this beauty for quite some time and considered it to be my next plane, but the demise of the MX2 necessitated some retail thera...

$$ quickly add up eh !!!!!! but I must say, mostly is worth it depending on the style of flying you are trying to achieve. Nothing beats the rare bears for cheap speed thrills but the bigger planes ce...

Wow, that will be impressive in the air. Well done

My pleasure Jason. I must admit I had a fair bit of trepidation in being the cameraman. Haven't done it before and I didn't think I could keep the plane in view. I presume you edited out where I didn'...

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...

They vigorously defended themselves earlier in this thread before giving up when so many came up with counter-defence examples. I am surprised that they have not taken heed of complaints & improved th...

Gaz gave me some of that velcro strapping, good stuff. I have also bought a 5m roll of 25mm 2 sided velcro from Bunnings (Velcro Reusable Wrap) strong enough to hold a house brick.

I have your phone number, will call you when I am there. I will be going tomorrow as Sunday has a higher chance of a larger rainfall. robbo Wrote: (29-04-2016, 06:55 PM) -- Hey Wayne, Im down with...

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

Email received from Graham, "Greetings Funsters Just a reminder that Indoor Flying is on again next week – Wednesday, 6 May, 7.30-10.30 pm – Hills Adventist College, Cnr Hezlett and Gum Nut Close, K...

$10 to fly, free to watch. Micro slow fliers or ultra light 3d models are the go, Vapour will be in it's element. There will also be some free flight models powered by rubber bands.

I actully posted this thread as a result of a question I received at the field on Sunday. In the site'e Plane Aerobatics menu selection, there are video clips from a RealFlight sim which include vide...

Thanks for that Jason and it would appear thet you have aimed it at my own personal endeavours and for this I thank you. Whilst I obviously would benefit from what I suggested for the advanced level...

Impressive stuff Jason, you are a legend. This is exactly what I had hoped could be produced. I thought lowering the rates would mean more pronounced stick movements. Perhaps decreasing the simulatio...

Thanks again Jason, more legendary stuff. :thumbup: I follow your reasoning about keeping it realistic but on the other side of the coin, sometimes the little tickles of elevator can be missed with no...

I dont know about others, but I find this stuff invaluable Jason & give you :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: for your efforts. I have seen many flying skill questions on various threads b...

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.

Come down to the field, you will find Noobsville has a larger population than you think. It's just that a few have lived there a bit longer :D PS. The previously mentioned Eflite Apprentice is featur...

If you read back in this post you will see mention of mode 1 being a more favourable transmitter. Although I think mixing mode 1 & 2 in buddy cord links is possible (dont rely on me for this, and I a...

Hobbies in the hills have the Phoenix Sim reasonably cheap (comes with a USB lead that plugs into the DX6i) & our flying field is available to download from within our website. A very realistic Sim fo...

I am with you Gazz, dont like cats for many reasons, but out of respect for Steve's liking cats I will refrain from making the many anti-cat comments that sprung to mind. There was once a book of uses...

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...

Crazy, you think?. He was wearing a helmet for safety, wouldn't want to go out of control from a thousand metres without it eh!!. Who knows how much damage you could do to your self!!!!!!

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

Pretty risky stuff, perhaps they should have got that Hobby King guy to hold it by hand.

As usual, nice footage Jason with great music. Love the location.

Well done Jason, nicely captured & flown.

Watched the video in awe, all I kept saying was "planes dont do that, must be digitally enhanced". (Tongue in cheek of course). An absolutely spectacular display of what must be the result of too many...

I was impressed by it all, but the full loop whilst continuously rolling had me gobsmacked.

Thanks for that Jason, I think that is the first footage of 1 of my flights. I dont think I will be asked to sign autographs tho :)

F@#%ed On Race Day, The better team is still Holden the trophy

Worlds most extreme Airports. On now channel 7

Some crazy airports out there. Gave me an appreciation that our airfield, on scale, matches some of the most extreme real airstrips. Proves that if we can fly and land at our field, we can fly anywher...

"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 ...

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...

You will also need a USB to audio mono cable

Now for my sixpence worth. Giulio, you already have a little trainer plane to hone the skills in stick movements away from you, towards you & basic manoeuvres, circuits, procedure turns & figure 8's ...

An awesome site, many things tickle my fancy, tickled so hard, burst into laughter. The toilet bowl coffee cup or Beer Bottle Chandelier & Suit Pajamas to name just a few. Margaret wont let me have th...

Well done Jason, you certainly put a lot of work into the Willow's Cup. Beer taps or not, your efforts match your enthusiasm. But with beer taps it would need to be a lot bigger for all the volunteers

Regardless of the timeframe, it is still a reminder of our safety needs. We have had quite a few new members since the last similar story hit our forum. Whilst we try to impress upon our newbies the n...

This is not the first report of a fatality from remote planes and they have been reported in a lot of countries. A similar post last year gave rise to a tirade of examples of accidents causing deaths ...

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 ...

Looking good George, you have more patience than me
