A very sad day for Aviation http://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2014/08/flight-safety-australia-remembers-macarthur-job/ Rob B

This is an intersting topic considering that LiPo's are not cheap, I note that the serious RC'ers will generally heat their batteries up to about 55degreesC for optimum performance. Also, on the Extre...

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 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 Mick I'll have those priced up for you in the next day or so. 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

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

Gday Simon Top looking aircraft, will be a nice addition to the PRCAC fleet if you decide to purchase. I have often toyed with getting floats for my uber cub and heading off to a lake with Mr Pell...

Gday Simon I agree with Ingo, the HK stuff I have purchased has been all ok. The best bit is that most of the club are familiar with their products and Kieran does a kick ass job making it all hap...

G'day John Greetings from downunder. I am in agreeance with Dave, the nanotech packs from Hobby King are hard to beat. The turnigy 3S 2650 nanotechs that I use have a discharge rating of 35 to 70C an...

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

Gday Steve No way doI have the skills or an appropriate aircraft to fly however I'd love to come out and have a look if I can hitch a ride with someone? 8-) Cheers Rob B

Gday Stephen I am surprised that you flew last weekend due to the weather leading up to the day. Having said that I had a wedding on Saturday that left me quite damaged until about Tuesday. Whe...

Is this what Kieran was punting around the other week? If so, I was surprised how zippy it was. Seriously considering getting one however will wait to see Steve's 4700kv motored version to provide a...

Gday Drew That is seriously bizarre. I can only surmise that you may have a dodgy solder join somewhere, or, a break in the wires from the motor that is causing an intermittent fault. I cannot see ...

Gday All This will be a bit "off topic" however seeing as we spend a heap of time looking up into the sky whilst RC flying I am wondering if we have any club members who look a bit further afar, a ...

Good Stuff Mick I too am getting the photography side slowly sorted using an Orion webcam into AmCap software then processed by Registax. Good results with space objects however I need to get a foc...

Thanks Mick I'll have a look at that alternative software you mentioned. Happy observing..... Cheers Rob B

Gday All I find soldering Deans plugs a pain in the arse. Kieran mentioned to me the other day that the HobbyKing Deans "style" plugs are much easier to solder as they have a solder reservoir so to s...

Gday All I finally got around to investigating the implications of this with my DX8, too easy, downloaded an update to the TX and I can now choose between DSM2 and DSMX. RC Model review makes an in...

Gday Gazz Yep it's easy as. For the DX8 Spektrum have set up a website called "Spektrum Community". https://community.spektrumrc.com/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fMyAccount%2fDefault.aspx You register...

Gday Mr T If you can let me know what other spares you have and chuck in some training gear consider me very interested. I have heard nothing but good things about this machine. In a related request d...

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 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 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 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 Bob If Kieran is not around I would be more than happy to get you sorted out and in the air. I have a DX7 and also have flown/ owned an ST360 so I know how they go together. I would have helped ...

Great photo Paul. It was a shame the cloud rolled in on cue pretty much right when the eclipse started. Cheers Rob b

G'day Frank You went to bed too early mate. The cloud cover wasn't quite 10/10 so a good view was around from time to time. You made it for longer then me Paul, I died at about 0115hrs. Did it clear ...

G'day All I vividly remember my first go around many years ago whilst training for my gfpt in the wonderful C152. It was my 3rd flight and we had droned around the training area and headed back via 2...

Love it. Sold. I collect old wartime propaganda posters so this fits in Let me know what else you have. Cheers Rob B

Gday Arron I will contact you later today to org a pickup time. Cheers Rob B

G'day Claudio Is the aircraft itself still around? If so How much do you want for it? Cheers Rob b

Gday Claudio I am seriously considering taking her off your hands. Will let you know in the next day or two. Cheers Rob B

Gday Rob I'll take these off your hands, I have no idea what they are worth. When I have a spare mo I'll repost with a fair and formal offer, just resovling a mass disaster here at work. As a rough...

Gday Rob Ok, disaster resolved. Anyone want to work in Risk Management, I now have a spare seat in my team? Calcs as per the below, RBA USD/AUD rate is 0.9877 as at 1245 18/01/11 *0.9877 ...

Gday KV Hmmm, an interesting offer. I can just see it, mini swifts in the boardroom, Ipad controlled UAV's in the hallways, 450 heli in the kitchen................ Mein gott...I see utter chaos :)...

Gday Rob Sorry to have missed you on the weekend, will give you a call a bit later when the coffee has kicked in and my brain is working. 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...

I too was a little concerned that I had not assisted at all with the ongoing awesome maintenance of the field however thought an apology would be pointless as nobody will remember who I am anyway. I ...

G'day Gazz All good, when a little guy comes to have a chat and 15 seconds later the MCoy field profanity filter explodes you know it's me. I will then prob grab you for an expletive filled few fl...

Thanks JV for clarifying the wasps are European and not African. We should all know the consequences of not being able to differentiate between the two. We've dodged a bullet there methinks. Does a...

Gday Jason I am quite interested however am out of the country until next week (back on 18th). Can you let me know what capacity 3S batt it eats? Thanks Rob B

Gday Jason I'll take this off your friends hands, meet you at the field this weekend to do the deal? Cheers Rob B

All good, thanks Jason I'll have to give the swap meet a serious spin then..... Cheers Rob B

Withdrawn from sale Rob B

Yep, you've got to be on your A game with the heli flying. It's a good stress and challenge. Flying my drone is a no brainer in comparison. See you at the field heli pad soon. Rob B

Gday All For sale is a beautiful T-Rex 600 ESP Special edition heli wrapped in a Heliartist Airwolf body. I do not have the skills to do her justice and would much prefer she went to someone who c...

Gday Mr JellyV I think quads are all the rage now, the heli learning curve is light years steeper and is not everyone's cup of tea. Having said that these things happen for a reason so I guess she sta...
