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

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...

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...

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...

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...

G'day Gazz From someone who has spent the last few days laboriously preparing and analysing end of month financial reporting please accept my sincere advice which is... You suck! Golf ball through...

Gday Steve Yeh I am curious about the field condition too, the rain although not that heavy did continue for a while. BTW, what is involved in the transformation from a yurrumevets to a smuzz? A...

Gday Kev I have aileron to rudder mix set up on all my aircraft, I use this to stop adverse yaw and keep the aircraft balanced in the initial part of a turn, I also use differential aileron, once aga...

Gday Kev As an addition to my earlier comment you would slightly increase the roll rate using rudder however this would be via the yaw component. Note that you can use your tx switches to turn ail/ r...

Gday Steve What specifically are you trying to find out about adverse yaw, I will be able to easily assist you with this. However, in a nutshell, it is caused by the fact that during a turn one ailer...

Gday Steve The trick here is not to overcomplicate the matter. Your aileron throws should be exactly the same length, dihedral is not an issue, that merely makes the aircraft more stable around the l...

Gday Steve What an odd setup, never seen anything like that before. I think you have a few options though. 1- Join the elevator halves and use a single attach point as per normal. 2 - Centre the serv...

Gday Paul/ Steve Not sure if the Ez Connector option will work with the servo mounted so far aft and offset from centreline, is that in the same location in the Tucano? Cheers Rob B

Having your elevators offset mixed for roll purposes is easily acheivable with our TX's using mixing to the aileron channels. HOWEVER. You would want to set that up as a flight mode selectable action,...

Nothing wrong with the stick and rudder approach Kev. After all it is the pilot via inputs to stick and rudder that ultimately enables a plane to fly!!! I just can't help myself in regards to hooverin...

Gday Kieran In regards to your earlier comment: "you'd get the most benefit from some dihedral in the main cross section (Like how my Stryker looks now!) This directs the air to spill up over the win...

Gday Steve Kieran is spot in regards to cutting up the wing more, you will just lose more rigidity. Another option could be using light fibreglass cloth or the polyurethane sealer to stiffen things u...

Gday All Discovered something interesting last night. I am revamping Ted Stryker and gave it the polyurethane coat treatment. (Thanks for all the info on this Paul and Steve) :thumbup:. What I disc...

Gday Paul I think there is a slight diff in regards to how I have done this, I put 2 light coats of the poly on 1st, then sanded, then painted, and another thicker coat of the poly over the top. Th...

Gday Paul Interesting, seems to be many variations on this technique that you have explored. Thanks for the info on what you used for the L39, that really does look nice. This technique that you a...

Gday KV You need to think about what you want to achieve. Paul and Gazza's methods will add strength to your airframe and provide a good glossy finish due to the addition of fibreglass. My method j...

Gday Steve I'd go the bullets for those puppies, I don't think XT's would safely carry the current you will be drawing. Knowing you it would be sufficient current to power a small town for a brief ...

Gday All There are now a few Durafly Spitfires floating around and I have to say she is a great looking aircraft. However as per the usual HK fare some mods are needed. I am hoping I can both share...

Gday Gazz I remember doing a prac in Engineering that dealt with this matter. Wish I could remember more than the fact that I remember doing it! However I have to date converted 3 aircraft from ...

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...

Gday Dave and kieran Thanks for the info I will liase with John and see what we come up with. In regards to the soaring star I have made some major changes to the stock setup which I considered to ...

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 All I wonder how long the rotors took to get back to terra firma? In the famous words of Andrew R "Holy snappin dooley That could have taken an eye". I really enjoyed watching that cos' it...

Gday Steve That was awesome mate. WTF was all the red "confetti" just after you smacked the lines? Cheers Rob B

Gday Dave Did you note the obvious editing parts where Andrew has removed the loops, inverted hovering, tick tocks and funnel moves? There is also a suspicious "mown" section of grass that seems...

Gday Andrew That post was well written, I was almost going to launch into a Gaz like string of expletives. :lol: Glad things are resolving themselves and you have had another good flight. From my ...

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 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...

Nice one KV Damn you instructors are good. I am particularly impressed with the pin point precision shown as you gracefully embed your aircraft in the largest area of standing water on the field. ...
