Happy Birthday Mr Murray. You must be almost as old as Gazz now?? I forgot to thank you the other day for sharing memories of your participation in the Boer war. Thanks mate, was interesting stuff! ...

Gday Drew Hope you are having a good pseudo b/day. If anyone is planning to fly tomorrow you may wish to re-think, 50kmh winds forecast. Cheers Rob B

Gday Steve You are a menace to motors. :D I think its time you investigated micro turbines. :thumbup: Cheers Rob B

Gday All This thread seems appropriate to notify of a project I have been working on. Reason being that the thread focus seems to be on frying things and/ or "irresponsible" amount of power. I ...

Gday Steve 1100KV motor. Bummer re the power lines mate, did you manage to land her ok or did she get trashed? Cheers Rob B

Gday Andrew I would call a baton drop as stating "resume own navigation" or "you are leaving my airspace" Cheers Rob b

Gday Andrew Make that 3 Spitty's, my Durafly is dialed in and ready to fly. We may have to decide on some unique markings so we can tell them apart though. Cheers Rob B

Gday Andrew Good point, i'd say my Spit will be the one that looks most likely to shoot itself down. On further reflection suspect I have the variant called a "Splatfire". Over to you Mr Murray. ...

Gday All Hoping I can get some tips here. I have de-covered the TwinStar as phase one of her makeover. As expected there are bits and pieces left behind all over the airframe, the outer clear cov...

Ok Gazz thanks for that, will give her a nuking with my iron. Cheers Rob b

Gday All Count me in. Now, who is going to put in the monstrous depron order? Cheers Rob B

Gday Gazz/ KV As expected my iron needs a major cleaning however got most of the residual film off. From the pace I set yesterday I will be sanding most of today. :paranoid: I am aiming for a ni...

Gday All Some time ago i decided to get off my arse and source some folding props for my gliders. Kieran pointed me to a gentleman called Peter Pine who stocks Aero-naut gear. I emailed Peter with ...

G'day Pete I am having a chuckle that the first member out of the blocks in the depron challenge is building out of........signboard. I must get started on my "depron dodo" This design is optimised...

Gday All Hope you had a good AGM, apologies I could not be there, I was seriously delayed flying back from Brisvegas so missed the show. When I got home I decided to have a bit of heli practice in t...

Gday Gazz I am still spun out as to what happened. Stay tuned, I would like to bounce some theories of the fellow club rotor heads. I am getting info together and I am going to try an suss out what...

G'day Dave The blades in question were HK 3d composite jobs and had come from Darren so can't question their integrity from that perspective. Ran some calcs as per your equation and was well below ...

Awesome stuff, where did you find that gem? Cheers Rob b

Too cool I thought the car wash was pretty average however I was SOLD when I found out it even had a sign. That stuff gave me a good laugh, all well and good except I am currently on a peak hour train...

Gday All We had a pretty decent dump of rain early this morning at Toonie and it looks pretty shabby out there right now. Likely the field has reverted back to semi swamp status? Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Helicopters don't require thrust per se by virtue of the fact that they are so ugly they repel the earth. The above is also a fair explanation as to why only true "He Men" have the requi...

G'day All Walking home from toonie station today it looked like a lot of rain had fallen. I suspect the field may be back to swamp status? Cheers Rob B

G'day KV As you know I share your pain. Our problem was more a velocity vector issue as the sky seems to have been repelled in our instances. Cheers Rob B

Gday John Did you re-bind the receiver when you installed the satellite? When I got my 1st sat, I noticed that on first fire up the main receiver got a solid light however the satellite flashed aw...

G'day Andrew You pose an interesting question. As Drew stated pretty much all club members are 2.4 gig Spektrum or JR user. I suspect that we got that way as we had heaps of advice and support to g...

Gday Mick Good stuff, the Morane Saulnier A1 is one of the prettiest aircraft around. I have gone through miles of basswood building structures for my model railways. You would be able to get some...

G'day all If we get the weather I just experienced in adelaide today up here we are in for some mighty fine flying conditions. It was 26 degrees and 100% cavok. Also a message to andrew r, your colle...

100% with you Andrew, you've got my details on your petition. www.qantaspilots.com.au Get in there people Cheers Rob b

Gday Andrew Mate that is a long time to be not flying? I'd be going nuts if that was me. Hope the shoulder is on the mend. FYI I will be on QF569 to Perth later today, this 767 will of course be ...

Gday All I will try to bring some weather back from Perth with me when I return tomorrow. It's an absolute ripper of a day here. Cheers Rob B

Hey Hey... Happy Birthday Kev ya fossil. Congrats on being one year closer to the Zimmer Club. Cheers Rob B

G'day gazz Congrats on the gold wings and instructor ratings mate. Well done! Your challenge now if you choose to accept it would be to guide a student around a single circuit using only the words an...

Too funny claudio I stand corrected, however Gazz wouldn't have a hope in hell of passing your challenge. We need to be fair and set achievable goals. Apologies to the other new goldies out there fo...

Gday Paul That's a good wicket you are on there, I would find a 3rd Party In House repair service highly useful. Message to Paul, when you have repaired the Kev J induced carnage can you do him a ...

G'day Kev Nasty stuff, I note the fatalities now number 10. From viewing other footage a few meters difference to the impact point could have added to that toll significantly. Cheers Rob B

Gday Jason 2m M Grade EPS for me please. Cheers Rob B

Gday Dave So you grabbed a T28 eh? If you shove a torque tube through the fuse centreline just below the elevators you should have enough extension to attach the tail rotor quite easily. Gyro sh...

G'day Jason I am looking forward to getting my hands on these cores. My plan is for a twin 70mm edf setup. Can anyone suggest a good HK fan that is ready to go? I don't want to have to assemble e...

G'day Andrew Hope the trip to the cutter goes well today. See you back in deck soon. Cheers Rob B

G'day guys Keep an eye on the weather I am at Syd airport and it is raining here now. Cheers Rob b
