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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 ...

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 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

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 The sun is shining, or trying to. I will be leaving in 1/2 hour or so, just have to settle my daughter down first. Cheers Rob B

Gday Steve Rain dribbling pointlessly down, still hopeful things will be ok'ish in 1/2 hr or so

Gday Steve The weather has been crap here all the weekend, it was looking a little better this morning however has just started to lightly rain as I type this. I am going to head down, weather permit...

Gday All I almost went down this morning however there has been persistent very light rain all day. I am not sure how much moisture a motor would ingest in conditions like this however suspect it wou...

Super dodgy weather today, forecast not too good either. 2152 UTC 02/10/09 AIRSERVICES AUSTRALIA GENERAL MET MESSAGE BRIEFING Prepared for: ROBFLIGHT YSSY ...

Good luck tomorrow guys, weather forecast is not promising. Not even going to bother commenting on the weekend weather for fear of infesting this particular post with far far too many swear words. F...

Gday All Dust is clearing up nicely however pretty windy and gusty at the moment. Cheers Rob B

Gday John I'll show you how to find the MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) which can then lead you to the correct CofG point. Cheers Rob B

Gday All Latest TAF from airservices below, Steve we may need a few gyros this weekend. TAF issued 0309 UTC. On a brighter note (no pun intended), Daylight Saving not too far off ,,,hurrah!!! TAF S...

Gday Colin We were wondering when you would find out your plane had been retrieved. It was a very cool effort all round, Kieran and his aerial recon and Steve's super ladder make a formidable team. S...

Gday Mick Great photo, is that taken from the sheds at Flemington/ Lidcombe? Also.. Damn this windy weather forecast for the weekend. Saturday Windy. Mostly sunny. City: Min: 19 Max: 22 We...

Oops, ignore my above post. Just belatedly noticed you were going to use the 7000 in a heli. Cheers Rob B

Gday Mick If you end up with a AR7000 receiver I will swap you for my 6110 and pay the diff if you like. We can discuss this at the field if need be. Both will work fine with the DX7 Cheers Rob B

Gday All What an extraordinary day today. Not a day for rc flying that's for sure! Cheers Rob B

Gday All Very sad news re the Snowbird! However, Darren has demonstrated admirably the difference between a Pilot and an Airman. Anyone can be a Pilot, being an Airman takes a greater effort in regar...

Gday Kev Thanks for the fleet feedback, I am chipping away at getting them all airworthy however being totally pedantic about motor choices etc etc. I will get over this one day and give Hobby King a...

Gday John Your Glider looks awesome, if she flies as good as she looks you will have one sweet machine. 8-) Going to be nice to share the sky with your aircraft, Kieran's Siren and John's ASW. :D ...

Gday Kev I am hoping to get her down this weekend however I am not entirely sold on the fact that I have her optimally balanced. She was made for an IC engine so I have had to do the electric convers...

Gday All An early start on Sat sounds good. Weather should be great and the wind is forecast to be a light to moderate NorWester. Big improvement from the last few weeks however might be a bit crossw...

Hmmm May have to dust off my P40 for that challenge. Oddly enough the motor and ESC that power my glider originally came out of it. Cheers Rob B

Gday All This thread is getting seriously funny, we will have to formalise the various "Booby" awards. Additionally... I'll have you all know Ingo turned up on Sunday with an aircraft that was seriou...

This challenge thread is turning up some concerted efforts for the greatest speed, as I have nothing to compete with this I am going to tentatively nominate the Cub for the following "awards". Greate...

Thanks for the heads up Kieran, unsticking too early should not be a prob for me as due to the weight of the aircraft it will not fly until it is good and ready, I am going to do some taxi tests to ch...

I intend to have the Cub complete and at the field this weekend, however as Darren is at Temora I may not fly it, depends upon the weather. If it is good oh I will fly, if not, wait for Darren! Cheer...

Mate wait until you see Kieran's Decathlon. Overpowered, overpropped. Super awesome. Has got through it's smoke machine /destroy motor phase and flew very well on Sunday in Kierans capable hands. Che...

Gday Kev I ran up my E-Flite 46 in my mega cub yesterday. What a piece of kit!!! At 1/2 throttle I was very impressed, at 3/4 throttle I was having trouble holding the model, at full throttle.....wel...

Nice work mate!! I wonder how many bits and pieces are scattered around the field? Probably enough to construct an aircraft methinks. Cheers Rob B
