Gday All If I could involve our collective minds here it would be appreciated. Due to a landing mishap on Monday (prop dug into soft ground) I have snapped the shaft of my Glider motor (Thunder Tiger...

Gday All Thanks for all the tips, I like the idea of simply making a new shaft, I think I might try that first. However will also try out the Vella option due to said gentlemans highly confident tone...

Gday All I may try and join you on Thusday however will probably not arrive until about 1830hrs. Not hopeful re the windy conditions though, more of the same forecast tomorrow. Cheers Rob B

Gday All Ask and ye shall receive, Pilot report below. 0452 UTC 16/10/09 AIRSERVICES AUSTRALIA GENERAL MET MESSAGE BRIEFING Prepared for: ROBFLIGHT YSSY ...

Gday Paul Should be a bit less windy tomorrow however still expect 15 to 20kts of fun and games, however not expecting the gusts to be quite so pronounced as they have been. May be interesting with t...

Gday Kev Thanks for that. I had completely scratchbuilt a new motor mount to fit the motor Steve gave me so I was a bit nervous about having thrustlines correct and also the CofG. As usual I was more...

Gday Paul I must have missed your altercation with the windsock. I always considered "Socky" to be a quiet and benign type of character however if he has been giving you stick I am more than happy to...

Gday All Please ignore my previous post, OR, read it all is if it was in past tense! Powerlines 1, Robair Glider 0. Photos soon!

Gday Steve I forgot about the Hall of Fame. Glad some "good" can come out of this. Cheers Rob B

Gday Paul That was indeed a damn good repair job, nice one!!!! If you hadn't told me you trashed it the day before I would not have known there had been any damage at all. Cheers Rob B

I had a dream last night, and it was a goody, went a bit like the photo below! Wahahahaha, take that ya bastard tower!!!!

Gday All Seems that there was a few hits over the weekend, hope we all get our aircraft back in the air OK? I must say I am a bit surprised that amongst all the carnage I have not seen Kieran's name ...

Gday All Holy crap, what a killer weekend!!! Nice work from Kieran, always creatively raising the bar!, or is that lowering? I vote John's glider for the BEST SOUNDING CRASH, it sounded bloody aweso...

Gday All As an antidote to the above litany of carnage my Uber Cub has been given the good to go from Darren so expect to see a new "face" at the field on Saturday weather permitting! Cheers Rob B

Gday Simon There are 2 things I can think of that may assist. 1- Set throttle range. (With no power connected to the aircraft turn your tx on and put the throttle to full power. Connect power to the ...

Gday Simon Glad that issue is all sorted out, might be a good idea to ask Kieran to give it a once over before flight to make sure all is truly ok. Keiran knows his DX7 and the Trojan back to front s...

Gday All For those who may be thinking of flying this arvo, beware inclement weather. May lightning repeatedly strike the power lines and melt them into a glowing metallic pulp. 2141 UTC 22/10/09 ...

Gday All Bummer that I could not fly on Saturday, hope all who flew had a good one. Great to hear the Siren is up Kieran, not surprised you are cooking the electrics, we would expect nothing less fro...

Gday All As I work for Coleman I am able to utilise special pricing for Staff and Friends of Coleman Staff. I am sure you can understand that I am unable to post such pricing in a public forum due to...

Gday All I have posted another thread in regards to Coleman stuff. I can only reiterate that the pricing is red hot and I will pass these savings directly to you all. As an indicator on pricing I can...

Gday Steve What an odd setup, never seen anything like that before. I think you have a few options though. 1- Join the elevator halves and use a single attach point as per normal. 2 - Centre the serv...

Gday Paul/ Steve Not sure if the Ez Connector option will work with the servo mounted so far aft and offset from centreline, is that in the same location in the Tucano? Cheers Rob B

Having your elevators offset mixed for roll purposes is easily acheivable with our TX's using mixing to the aileron channels. HOWEVER. You would want to set that up as a flight mode selectable action,...

Gday Bob If Kieran is not around I would be more than happy to get you sorted out and in the air. I have a DX7 and also have flown/ owned an ST360 so I know how they go together. I would have helped ...

Gday All I choose to be optimistic re this forecast. The Cub has to get a go this weekend and I also plan to unleash my refurb'd P40. Therefore any rain can just sod off!!! General MET Briefing ----...

Gday Mick I'll have those priced up for you in the next day or so. Cheers Rob B

Anyone going for a fly this arvo (10/11/09)? I am getting twitchy and need an urgent rc P40 fix. Expect to get to the field at approx 1830hrs. Cheers Rob B

Gday All Weather report below for the Thursday crew, hope you beat the southerly and the storms. General MET Briefing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Gday All Weather report for the thursday crew as per usual. Pretty much a carbon copy from last thurs. Suspect your ESC's will be overheating before a battery is even plugged in. General MET Briefin...

Gday All I find soldering Deans plugs a pain in the arse. Kieran mentioned to me the other day that the HobbyKing Deans "style" plugs are much easier to solder as they have a solder reservoir so to s...

Mate, you can borrow mine if you want. I am busily recovering my glider at the moment, even if you want to drop by my place for a few hours, have a few beers and do it there is all cool with me. If yo...

Gday Kev That's pretty funny mate, however.... I'll let you in on a tip, it is really hard to stick down when you put it on backwards, ie with the protective film upwards. How do I know this...........

Gday All I am finding the weather very interesting right now. Here is an updated forecast. 1017 UTC 19/11/09 AIRSERVICES AUSTRALIA GENERAL MET MESSAGE BRIEFING ...

Gday Kev Yep, fully understand the "Cover of Dark" modelling caper, my 16 month old daughter dictates this. Will drop the iron to you an Saturday. One thing you may wish to think about is to get so...

Gday All Any idea when the goods that Colin picked up will be available, I need to get onto my heatshrinking ASAP so I can shoot my iron to Kev? Cheers Rob B

Gday Kev Sorry to have missed you on the weekend, I am currently trying to find out when my shrink will arrive so I can get my covering done pronto and get the iron to you. Cheers Rob B

Gday Kev All good mate, I was worried that we were both held up re progress. Good to see you are powering along. Cheers Rob B

Gday Ingo Hope the weather holds for you, please see report below. Cheers Rob B General MET Briefing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2100 UTC 25/...

Gday Drew I will be taking my dogs for a strut in an hour or so, I will wheel by the field and have a look for you. Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Sorry for the late reply, I have had internet issues, no did not find anything at the field. Cheers Rob Byrnes

Gday All Hope you all had a great xmas and Santa's gifts were all LiPo powered. Not too sure about the weather today! I am going to focus on the "easing later" bit. Rain has been constant and heavy a...

Gday All Weather report is a bit suss for today. Please see below: General MET Briefing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0124 UTC 06/01/10 ...

Message to Kev and all Sorry to see your monster dig a hole today, however.. if you are agreeable I would like to offer my services to rebuild the aircraft, you did state that you were going to bin it...

Gday Kev I know what you mean about trusting the tx and rx, I guess you have 2 options, bim em and get new gear or you could test them in something more expendable and see if you get glitching. In re...

Gday Kev The cub incident was a f#$kup not a mishap, oddly enough I did exactly what I was afraid of doing, over-rotating and not being positive enough with the rudder after I just got a wheel in the...

Gday Kev Wondering which day you will be at the field with the "monster" bits. I am easy either Sat or Sun, however will be hungover to the max Sunday due to a Sat night party that is going to be "in...

Gday All In regards to the "graffiti crew", as you may know I have to walk through there with my planes to get to the field. I have found them to be either completely disinterested or very friendly, ...

Gday Paul Next time I see you we can have a chat about your options re duplicating parts. I uses to be a Dental Technician and can offer about 8 different methods to duplicate objects using various m...

Gday All Wondering if I could get some advice here, I have just inherited a Hobby Zone Super Cub however it still has the brushed gearboxed crap motor Esc etc etc.What would be a good Hobby King moto...
