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, ...

Gday Paul Next time I see you we can have a chat about your options re duplicating parts. I uses to be a Dental Technician and can offer about 8 different methods to duplicate objects using various m...

Very Tongue in Cheek reply from RB Gday Paul (Getting crazier) and Kieran (Known and Certified Power Loony) That is one hell of a motor for a teeny cub, as a comparison my glider drew a max of 16 am...

Gday All Wondering if I could get some advice here, I have just inherited a Hobby Zone Super Cub however it still has the brushed gearboxed crap motor Esc etc etc.What would be a good Hobby King moto...

Gday Colin I would be happy to help you out with the above, have just the toools to do this. Also, funny article below involving a model aircraft in the UK, luckily Toongabbie residents are obviously...

Looking good Paul, nice work! Cheers Rob B

Gday All A truly dodgy morning indeed. Looks like a "build" day for sure. Field has got to be a swamp after the serious rain we had yesterday and overnight. Also I do not know what you guys are compl...

Hehehe, nice one Steve, if anything Mac Bank should be proud of the way this guy keeps focussed on the figures and their related vital statistics. After all, that is what finance is all about. Cheer...

Arrr Captain Vella, arrrr. Your Jet ski we be needing for flying today, arrrr. Cheers Rob Byrnes

Wow. and I was thinking about taking my gliders down this afternoon. I thought we would need Kierans Jet Ski, we had an amazing amount of rain last night, it woke me up at one point it was so heavy. ...

Gday Paul I will be leading a true life of leisure until the 1st March when I begin a new work contract, I can't remember the last time I had a decent amount of leave, pretty sure it was 3.5 years ag...

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...

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 Steve.. Depending upon how rambunctious my daughter is we may come down and say gday, also please note the weather for today, you may want to try for earlier rather than later. I have found a n...

Gday Steve Interesting idea, shame it did not work out to your satisfaction, the extra weight would have certainly added to the wing loading, also the propwash would have been taking a most unusual a...

Gday All Thanks to Kev he has kindly donated the Easy Sport 40 (hereon ES40) to myself as an experimental test bed in regards to build and design techniques. There are a few things we know about the ...

Gday Paul Thanks for dropping her off, it is going to be an interesting journey with this one. FYI I have been busily drilling and have already knocked off almost a kilo from the fuselage all aft of ...

Welcome to weight reduction 101. We indeed have Swiss Cheese. As Kev built her like a brick outhouse there has been no reduction in strength or rigidity with all the removed material. Goes to show a g...

Gday All Just had a wander down to the field to see just how bad it is. However I could not actually reach it due to the huge amount of water flowing through spraycan alley. Can only imagine the inla...

Gday Kev She looks like a highly aerobatic machine, good stuff. I got massively bogged last night working out the wing positions for the ES40 biplane conversion. I had forgotten just how "dry" the fi...

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 Wing angles and offsets all calculated, cabane almost 100% installed, dry fit up shown below.

Gday All I am just about to walk out the door and head down to the field with my glider. No need for gate opening however hope to see someone else down there so we can keep an eye on each other. Time...

Woohoo Big day for Mr KevJ on Sunday. You're going to turn into a ducted fan nut bigtime, I can see it happeninng after, maybe...... 2 Habu Flights. :D Then you are going to want a jet!!!!!! :lol: ...

Gday Chris I have a 13*4 and 13*6.5. I'll bring them down on sat just in case. What are you jamming that on the nose of? Cheers Rob Byrnes

Gday All I will be down today at some stage of the game, have a mountain of clothes washing to do first. Cheers Rob B

Gday All I will also be at the field tomorrow, charging and checking is occuring as we "speak". Looking forward to maidening a new, yet familiar to us, addition to the Robair fleet. Cheers Rob B

That does look pretty cool Steve, however 5 secs is a long time without throttle, could be very interesting!! It would be heaps better if you could tailor the "hit" response for specific members airc...

Gday All Here's a quick fleet update: 1.64m EP Glider (now 50% Zap-A-Gap) -- Rippin along happily with an improved motor that came out of Kieran's old MX. Top fun to fly! :D GWS P40 Warhawk -- It...

Gday Steve Thanks for the heads up re the replacement motor mount, I am pretty sure that when I get confident with the Stryker it will probably end up getting "turbo charged" and thus require a stron...

Gday Ingo I'll pop down mate. Give me an sms when you are leaving and I will meet you there. Cheers Rob B

Ripper Stuff Kieran, that photo is almost as pretty as Gary's Sukhoi. When will be around to distribute these? Cheers Rob B

Gday All I have a question, I have installed one of my new 2.4g receivers in the uber cub pursuant to taking her for a fly today however have come across an interesting issue. One of the aileron serv...

Gday Drew Nice one however you have only just begun, now you need to drill a zillion holes in what's left. Have a look at my photos on the easy sport rebuild thread to see what I mean. Cheers Rob B

Gday Kieran Thanks for the advice, I had retested and swapped out the servos and retested with my 36mhz receiver. The issue became highly intermittent/ random on both 36meg and 2.4 Remedy, 2 new serv...

Gday Kieran Not really heartbreaking as I have heaps of servos of that size so no big loss. Still want to know what the issue was though so have kept the servo and will pull it apart at a later date....

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

Mornin' All Seeing as the weather forecasts have been a bit ominous here is the latest from Airservices: General MET Briefing ------------------------------------------------------------------------...

I for one will need to read a bus load of reviews before I take the chance with these. Cheers Rob B

Gday All Weather is going to be interesting this weekend? 1107 UTC 28/05/10 AIRSERVICES AUSTRALIA GENERAL MET MESSAGE BRIEFING Prepared for: ROBFLIGHT...

Gday Kieran I hope they are good stuff, the price can't be argued with. I am just a little wary as Spektrum stopped them from selling the receivers and then a few months later they have a clone re...

Gday Kieran Thanks for the additional info re how this all came about. I await with great anticipation Bruce's review. It appears that the Horizon's/ Oreilly's style of business (Dictatorial Mono...

Gday All We had a massive amount of rain at Toonie last night, likely the field will be rather swampy come the weekend. Does anyone have a set of floats to suit a 2m span Cub? Cheers Rob B

Gday All Did anyone fly yesterday at all, and, is anyone having a shot today? Not sure what the field is like however the weather was good yesterday and last night. 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...

Gday Kieran I cannot seem to edit orders in the group order thread? It states that the thread is locked? Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Well your issue above certainly adds to the "urgency" of the situation. May I suggest the use of CTRL A (select all) when your wife places order? Bear in mind, of late, due to various is...

Whahahahahahahaha. Good one Steve. Wait till' Kev gets the PC9 up in the air, you're gonna get chewed up bigtime. Or, may I suggest a Stryker vs Funjet combat sortie? I'd sell tickets to watch th...

Gday All Wondering if someone may be able to help me out with the below. Myself and some members of my team will be giving a hardcore corporate presentation in Brisbane next friday (25/06/10). We...

Good Stuff Kev, thanks heaps for that. Just have to check though, should my team be concerned that they may get hit by something whilst wearing these vests? Cheers Rob Byrnes
