G'day Steve I know what you mean, I work at the speed of dark building aircraft due to the excessive planning/ do I or don't I phase. Beer is consumed during this process. Having said that once I...

Gday Gazz Yeh I like the samste calculation too. The KevJ calc is even easier, if the batt/esc/motor combo rips the firewall out all is good. Cheers Rob B

Amen Gazz I agree with you 100%, if the facility you have paid for is not useable then payment should be deferred or refunded. Having said that what can the council really do and how much responsibil...

Mr JellyV Good to hear you are having a good time with the heli. They are infectious things. Following Daves comments I hazard that the esc is fritzy or you may have a dry solder joint somewhere. A ...

Gday Gazz I'll have you know that having props coming out of ones arse is incredibly handy. My prostate is actually a very high kv inrunner so if I connect a 4S battery to my balls when I fart I c...

G'day Jason A quick zip around with an endoscope indicates I do not have the pitch you need. Sorry mate Also, have I just made the first arse/ fart joke on the PRCAC website? If so can I get som...

Gday Wayne At 2.6m glider should not be allowed to have mini in its name. She looks like a very nice glider. Gazz pointed this beast out to me last night, it would carry the Claudio FPV rig wit...

G'day All I would hazard a guess that McCoy is going to be stuffed for some time. The storm that zapped through late yesterday dumped what could best be described as a biblical amount of rain. ...

Gday All For those who missed it i'll try to put some perspective on the downpour. It was so heavy that it was raining "inside" the train I was on going home. The roof leaked it's nuts off in the...

G'day Gazz You have got to stop paddling in the harbour and get out and see the wide wonderful world mate. FYI I am on a train right now. If you are up to seeing some Mass Transit porn I will take...

G'day Jason/ Steve Thanks for the input. Jason, this is a very versatile foil from what I am discovering. The more I think and plan the B2 is getting more achievable. The only part I haven't rea...

Gazz I am profoundly disappointed that my quip rated only the 2527th ranked swear word of your 9587 strong repertoire. Thought i'd make the top 200 for sure. Seriously the field is looking grea...

G'day Dave A very valid point there mate. You have to shop around a bit to get great deals. Gazz practically gave airwolf away and Darrens last sale was so freaking cheap it was almost irresponsib...

Gday Dave Did you note the obvious editing parts where Andrew has removed the loops, inverted hovering, tick tocks and funnel moves? There is also a suspicious "mown" section of grass that seems...

G'day Gazz We may have to leave aircraft stowed and only pull them out for a fly or walk up and down the crowd line when weather permits. I have no idea whether KV can waterproof the PA system? Su...

G'day Dave Kieran told me about the spitty flight when he dropped her off. It was easy to set up because I had Andrews to compare to. Was not surprised she flew well in Kieran's capable hands. Speaki...

Gday George/ Andrew If you are intending to set up the Gazebo's at the park you will not be allowed to. The shelters need to be council approved, sandbagged etc etc. Cheers Rob B

G'day Paul Full ground calls would not have prevented this one. It was an interesting case of Mick flying a very tight upwind and Owen taking off and joining downwind rapidly. If we want to attempt t...
