Gday All Hoping someone will be able to help me out with a TX issue. I mentioned in another post that I was having some probs keeping my heli's in a nice stable hover in the vertical sense. I have ...

Gday John/ Gazz Thanks for the advice, I may have a shot at tightening the stick tension as suggested. I'll whip out the manual and see what is involved. Hopefully I can tension up just the throttl...

Gday Gazz Yep, the determination is thumb only or thumb and index. Might try the latter? I can test that out on the HK Pitss, if i pulverise it in the process it will fit into the category of who ...

Gday Gazz I have enough various balsa at home to potentially build the Kon-tiki Raft. What do you need? I may have what you require. Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz I am up in bananaland at the moment when I get back to Syd I'll see if I have got what you need. May not have enough to do the whole job though in for that spec balsa. Cheers Rob b

G'day KV Would you be able to post the details of where you got your folding prop from for the tt siren? John jellyV and I are interested in getting a couple for our gliders. John, I was talking wit...

G'day Frank Seeing as PRCAC is an all electric club you are in the right spot to get some excellent advice. May I suggest you post up some specific questions so we can get started? In the interim pay...

Gday Gazz Yeh I like the samste calculation too. The KevJ calc is even easier, if the batt/esc/motor combo rips the firewall out all is good. Cheers Rob B

G'day All I won't comment as to whether this page is getting too technical, however, I will say it is getting pretty funny. Dave your description of initial motor prop etc selection brings back mem...

Gday Jason Quickly off topic, sort of. You are familiar with the airfoil of the 2m cores that you sourced for us. I have done some prelim calcs however would like your thoughts on my plan. I inten...

G'day Jason/ Steve Thanks for the input. Jason, this is a very versatile foil from what I am discovering. The more I think and plan the B2 is getting more achievable. The only part I haven't rea...

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...

Mornin All I have a couple of q's. Can anyone recommend a good high speed mg digital servo to run the swash in my my new HK 500? Goteck gd9257's prev fulfilled the role however one stripped its gut...

G'day Wayne Pull her apart again, pull the horn off the aileron servo, re centre the servo w/ no trim or sub trim and reposition the horn to centre the ailerons, fine adjust w/ sub trim. Then after...

Gday All Anyone can fly a plane, landing is a different matter entirely. Landing slow is deadly, landing fast can be problematic however not necessarily a deal breaker in model flying form. Provi...

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 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 ...

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 Kev I know what you mean about trusting the tx and rx, I guess you have 2 options, bim em and get new gear or you could test them in something more expendable and see if you get glitching. In re...

Gday All In regards to the "graffiti crew", as you may know I have to walk through there with my planes to get to the field. I have found them to be either completely disinterested or very friendly, ...
