G'day Frank I am 110% with Gazz on this one. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the orange receivers however I don't think their range is is good as the genuine article. I use a general pr...

G'day Jonathan You need to have the same system as the pilot you are buddying with. So, a futaba tx will not buddy with a jr/ spectrum and vice versa. Dual receivers won't resolve that issue. J...

Gday BB In matters of impending death full clarity is truly critical. No way was I going to let myself end up in an Oxford St afterlife, even with an ginormous amount of beer. Now I must zip off ...

Hmmm, I am not sure I like the way this is going; I seems that my aircraft or myself are possibly going to be sacrificed for a supposed greater cause. If this is going to be the case I wish to choos...

Gday Dave I suspect that the dx4 can "smell" the hardcore futaba fumes that you emanate and reacts the only way it knows how, ie shitting itself and unbinding. Cheers Rob B

G'day All I can say with certainty that today Gazz could probably launch one if his vessels at the field. Walking past the canal that goes under fitzwilliam on the way to the station at 0615 the wa...

G'day Steve I rarely get to finish work on time (1730). Today was one occasion where I knew I would actually be able to not work back. So, the torrential downpour that hit at, I kid you not, 1728 was...

G'day all I am standing on the field as I write, nowhere near as bad as what I expected. The field is not underwater however quite slushy. Bottom of driveway being protected by 9 ducks and an atta...

G'day Paul Yeh that was funny and well put together. Don't think Rocelle would buy into that however my daughter Maya is progressing nicely. She is only 3 though so time is not on my side. Cheers Ro...

G'day Jason That's a very nice piece of engineering there. Very cool and very expensive I would imagine. Seems to be able to spin that HK 13*8 4 blader quite handily. What is the diameter of the...

Gday Andrew When would we be able to org to get Airwolf back in the Robair Hangar, it looks like the ideal conditions for gear repairs prevail. Also, I am beginning to twitch and gibber at night...

Gday Claudio No apology will be forthcoming from me to the Weather Gods. A good hard kick in the nuts would be more appropriate. 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...

G'day Mick Nicely written intro there. Aircraft attempting to coexist at the same location does seem to always end badly? The RTSB (Robair Transport Safety Bureau) offers a prelim report for revi...

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 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...

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 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...
