Gday Ingo No worries mate, just to clarify, are you interested or a buyer? Cheers Rob B

Gday Gazz DX8 is on the way mate. I was going to follow you down the 11x road however it wasn't mode changeable. Quite a bit more $$ too! Cheers Rob B

Hoy Hoy Mr Ingo The DX8 has arrived, I will tfer the heli settings over and if ok with you we can do the deal on wednesday at the committee meeting. Let me know if this suits. Also, any help you ne...

Gday Ingo Bummer, I thought you had a charger for your 36mhz radio that you were going to use. I didn't actually get a charger when I got her off Darren, I have been using the one that came with t...

Gday Fellow Rotor Heads I just has a minor mishap with the 500GT and stripped a little chunk out of the pinion that meshes with the main gear and powers the drive belt. Note to self, nose in hoveri...

Thanks gazz Should I go the torque tube upgrade seeing as I will be gutting her? Cheers Rob b

G'day Alex I will be repairing exactly the same issue on my heli, your machine has had a tail strike for sure. As Andrew advised take her back get a heli that is actually new and never return to that...

Gday Mick I'd be happy to help out if you like, I love covering, it's when your collection of balsa becomes an aircraft. Very satisfying. Cheers Rob B

Gday Alex You may wish to check your swash is level with the sticks at neutral, that may explain the aggresive drift. In regards to keeping the heli in the one spot when you are set up properly one...

Gday Alex I 110% endorse Gazz's comments re take the baby steps. When I purchased his Storm 3D he must have mentioned this to me 400 times. The learning curve via "days" is fantastic as it keeps it...

Gday All We just had some quite heavy rain here, hope this has not swamped up the field too much. Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew That is seriously bizarre. I can only surmise that you may have a dodgy solder join somewhere, or, a break in the wires from the motor that is causing an intermittent fault. I cannot see ...

Gday Rob I'll take these off your hands, I have no idea what they are worth. When I have a spare mo I'll repost with a fair and formal offer, just resovling a mass disaster here at work. As a rough...

Gday Rob Ok, disaster resolved. Anyone want to work in Risk Management, I now have a spare seat in my team? Calcs as per the below, RBA USD/AUD rate is 0.9877 as at 1245 18/01/11 *0.9877 ...

Gday KV Hmmm, an interesting offer. I can just see it, mini swifts in the boardroom, Ipad controlled UAV's in the hallways, 450 heli in the kitchen................ Mein gott...I see utter chaos :)...

Gday Rob Sorry to have missed you on the weekend, will give you a call a bit later when the coffee has kicked in and my brain is working. Cheers Rob B

Gday Alex Just a couple of things to check here before we seal the deal, is this the same Spitty that Andrew has? And, is it $160 you want for her? Very interested, if it is the same as Andrews ...

Gday Alex Sold for $150. I will not be down at the field this saturday however will be down on Sunday. Let me know when you want to hook up. Cheers Rob B

Gday Alex I can drop by on Saturday however it will be around 1300hrs, is that too late? Failing that 0900 on Sunday is fine. Cheers Rob B

Gday All I wonder how long the rotors took to get back to terra firma? In the famous words of Andrew R "Holy snappin dooley That could have taken an eye". I really enjoyed watching that cos' it...

Gday All There are now a few Durafly Spitfires floating around and I have to say she is a great looking aircraft. However as per the usual HK fare some mods are needed. I am hoping I can both share...

Gday All I finally got around to investigating the implications of this with my DX8, too easy, downloaded an update to the TX and I can now choose between DSM2 and DSMX. RC Model review makes an in...

Gday Gazz Yep it's easy as. For the DX8 Spektrum have set up a website called "Spektrum Community". https://community.spektrumrc.com/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fMyAccount%2fDefault.aspx You register...

Gday Steve That was awesome mate. WTF was all the red "confetti" just after you smacked the lines? Cheers Rob B

Gday Gazz Mate that PC9 looks comprehensively mashed, sorry to see her in such a state. My Camel has HD9150MG's installed, they are good for 16kg's, are bloody fast and very smooth. Only downer i...

Gday Gazz I remember doing a prac in Engineering that dealt with this matter. Wish I could remember more than the fact that I remember doing it! However I have to date converted 3 aircraft from ...

Gday Gazz/All We did not get a drop of rain here at Toonie, the storms last night faded out about 5k west of this location. Cheers Rob B

Gday KV I too saw the HK hotliner and my thoughts were the same, however, a quick lesson from Paul J on the art of fibreglassing could do the trick. In regards to the bungee launch queries Dave...

Gday Gazz Every other aircraft you have is going to be boring after you get this one in the air. Looks magic! Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Nice rocket work mate, how many shots did it take? Cheers Rob B

Gday Steve I'd go the bullets for those puppies, I don't think XT's would safely carry the current you will be drawing. Knowing you it would be sufficient current to power a small town for a brief ...

Gday All This is going to shake things up retail wise for sure. However I don't think the LHS is going to suffer that much though, HK does not stock gear of the same quality and LHS's have a loyal...

Gday All This location is bad news, I do not have the required vaccinations and visa's to get into The Shire. Does anyone know if your basic Hazmat pressure suit would suffice for a quick visit? ...

Gday All There was s short but sharp storm yesterday afternoon that zapped through Toonie about 1530hrs. From the field condition it was a serious H2O dump. Looked awesome on the radar! Cheers...

Gday Fellow Rotor Heads I have 2 things to say about Dave's machine. 1- It is one of the most awesome pieces of model engineering I am likely to ever see. Absolutely magnificent! I though Align ...

Gday Paul In all fairness to Kev if all the fasteners etc on your T28 were adequately loctited you would never have had that flyaway. Cheers Rob B

Thanks for the field reports. I was not sure what to charge up batteries for, big stuff, little stuff, stuff with wheels, without wheels etc etc. Cheers Rob B
