All good Steve Cheers Rob B

G'day Chris Good to hear the p40 has had a flight. I can commentate you out of a landing noseover on the day if required. Also, I realised I have reason to submit a maiden flight report for my ...

G'day Claudio The forecast is indeed not good. In particular the "local thunder" bit that has appeared on BOM's thurs forecast has me quite concerned. Cheers Rob B

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 Andrew Another point to add to your useless list, airwolfs left main gear. RB

G'day Andrew Yep that all makes sense. And modifies my plans significantly. Cheers Rob B

This gentleman has attained copper wings status. Probably contributed to a worldwide shortage of Corsairs at the time too. Bit sad though because he makes just about every mistake that you can avoid...

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...

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...

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 Claudio Point taken. Dear Weather Gods. Due to the continuance of the diabolical weather you seem to see fit dishing out it has been brought to my attention that my earlier communicae may h...

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...

BB bonjour, à tout moment, aujourd'hui, serait très bien. Je peux travailler ce soir et demain airwolf. Je vais vous appeler un peu plus tard d'organiser. Ce temps putain c'est de la connerie. Kier...

G'day Gazz Stunning aircraft mate. Will be a showstopper with you on the sticks. I too look forward to seeing you shred the atmosphere with her. Cheers Rob B

G'day Kev Woahh, only 3S and, I don't believe it, a balanced prop? You must be sick or something. Really sick..... Deathbed sick even.... :) Cheers Rob B

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...

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...

Gday Jonathan On a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1-Crap, 10-Excellent)the field drainage capability is rated at about minus 60. Forecast for later today is for potential rain of biblical proportions, highly ...

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...

Gday Jonathan There a a few of us with DX8's, great tx, lots of functionality, compatable with DSM2 and DSMX. The SD slot lets you upgrade the firmware easily when "upgrades" are released. The tel...

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 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...

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

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 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 ...

G'day Claudio You raise an excellent point there re my sacrifice=good weather. However, I just got home from work and note only 2 beers in the fridge and no nympho supermodels to be seen! As such...

Dave San Tamer of rotation, son of the god Futaba. You are truly wise. I now embark on your suggested quest. Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz I will be taking my daughter to her ballet lessons just near the field at 0845. Once she has been deposited I'll check the field condition and report. Cheers Rob B

G'day all Field in ok nick, bit slushy, needs a mow however flyable. Suggest walk in as very wet at the end of the driveway. Cheers Rob B

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...

G'day Jonathan No worries mate, have a shop around however please check out Model Flight. Their service and prices are hard to beat. Also, would you like to "borrow" my dx8 and a couple of receiv...

G'day Steve I too thank you for the esc review/ advice. I have been considering esc's for the viper and sabre so your post is very timely. The k forces must be bloody good to survive the samste e...

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 Sujit I can assure you that commercial aircraft turbines are not merely araldited on. 2 pretty serious bolts do the job on an A320. The thought of an engine breaking away completely quite f...

G'day Paul Too funny mate. May I suggest a restructure of your domestic business model? Reassign your financial advisor to assistant financial controller, the controller bit seems to effectively ...

G'day All That control line racing was one of the strangest things I have ever seen. I don't know if I just lost, gained or plain pissed away 6 odd minutes of my life? Cheers Rob B

G'day All To be fair to the control line guys I see merit in the style of flying. For example, if your "opponent" was a naked supermodel I'd be signing up on race day! Or, being able to sledge t...

Gday Claudio Apologies, I have indeed been a bit lax of late, all my attention has been focussed on Fiji, Japan and Dallas Fort Worth of late. Rest assured I will return attention to our neck of t...

Gday Wayne Happy bithday for today mate, I know for a FACT that only the most awesome of human beings are born on Apr 11. Cheers Rob B

G'day All Thanks for the b'day wishes. Frank, have a ball on your moth flight, literally. If you pay attention you will note that a lot of rudder is needed to keep the aircraft out of slip/ skid...

G'day Frank I have the blue 4 aileron HK Pitts and I bloody love it. Easy to fly like a pussy and capable of aerobatics way beyond my abilities. The servos in it are shithouse so replace those, I...

G'day Steve Would you be able to do me a favour and measure the height off the control surface the top hole of your viper control horns are? The horns were missing from my kit so need to source al...

G'day KV Yeh that is an option, I could easily make horns out of pcb or carbon strip. However I want my horns screwed through the wing not epoxied. I really want to know what Sapac supply as sta...

G'day Steve Thanks for that, I am using mg939's too however mine are mounted in the wing not on the covers like yours. If work doesn't get in the way I hope to finish the viper today. Tests last ...

G'day Gazz Stock 70mm Sapac fan mate, full power runups give a healthy amount of thrust however feel that this fan will only give "sport" performance. The way the weight is piling on suspect an angri...

G'day Steve 50+ amps thrown at a rare bear? That's just diabolical. I am trying to reconcile that to my 2m 4kg cub that draws under 40 amps. Seems incredibly inefficient? Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve Not doubting your data at all mate, if I had a serious electrical question you'd be the first person I'd ask! I just find it amazing that such a tiny plane can, if given the opportunity, ...

Gday Steve "Though i tended to fly full throttle most the time." Thanks for pointing that out, I would never have guessed..... :lol::lol::lol::lol: Cheers Rob B
