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...

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 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...

Damn Steve, too long time no see. Here's the weather report for tomorrow from BOM. Forecast for Sunday Unsettled. Mostly stormy. Tornadic rotations from the north west. Precis: Tornados, c...

Gday Steve That pogo will absolutely hammer, why am I not surprised you have the poor thing now sucking 82 amps after only one flight. :thumbup: Quick question, with the A10 did you Y-Lead the ...

Gday All Just beginning work on the sniper that I scored off Darren and I have a couple of queries. Darren- What was the model of the mg digital servo's you recommended? Also, Darren sparked ...

Gday Kieran Yeh Darren also suggested getting the fans from Extreme RC, will go that way as I could not be arsed balancing a HK fan which I suspect would be about as balanced as Mark Latham. How...

Gday Kieran The gear would stay off if I am hand launching, I'd love to get into retracts however I have sort of resigned myself to the fact that due to the dirt bike morons the field is going to b...

Gday Gaz I think the laws of physics have been respected however they have shown a complete contempt to your good self in this instance. Looks repairable though, canopy would be the tough job ther...

Gday All I have just ordered the digital servo's as per Kierans advice. However I cannot locate a programming doodat thingy? Is it just me or has the format of the HK website changed slightly? I ...

Gday Gazza Nah mate was looking for a programmer for digital servos not esc's. Kieran advised that HK do not have them but any brand will be ok as they are "generic". Also, love the way you are ...

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...

Amen Kieran Rocelle asked me what I wanted to do on Sun for fathers day, my reply was "Fly". So I am! :) However the weather is not great, report below + also the new swiffo BOM report format. ...

Gday All Pretty average weather out there right now and rain has been light and persistent all night, gonna be a soggy field for sure. Raining now however looking at the radar and the TAF it should...

Gday Steve /All Interesting forecast following, the current synoptics are quite unusual thus resulting in the severe weather in Vic and South NSW and the protracted rain that occured today. I was s...

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...

Dunno mate? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10102&Product_Name=Gale_Force_Winds (40_Knot_version) I am assuming it is the Bind and Fly variety. Cheers Rob B

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 Wobbly Personally speaking I would 30 min epoxy the bugger. Then, use what you have left on the skyfun. Cheers Rob B

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 Andrew Yep, I am sure there is something out there, I am working on "combining" the YSBK YSRI and YSSY TAF's to try and get a better picture. The weather itself is not too hard, it's calculati...

Gday Andrew Yep, I'm sure our paths will cross eventually, I am back and forth to BN regularly. Next time I see you will discuss the best way to TAF merge. Or, other options. I'll be able to talk h...

Gday Fellow Rotor Heads I have been spinning up the Twister into a light on the skids "hover" to get used to the controls. One thing that is starting to drive me nuts is the fact that the cyclic is...

Gday KV Thanks for the reply, I figured you were uber busy! Can't wait to see you though to get em all on my DX7. I am going to persevere for the moment on mode 1 as even though I find it odd I...

Gday Steve At risk of sounding like a sexual deviate..:sick: :D Your new glider looks dead bloody sexy. :thumbup: What is it? Cheers Rob B

Gday Rob Thanks for your reply. No you have not misunderstood me, cyclic one stick, the other, throttle and tail rotor. Having said that I would prefer a "mode 2" setup with throttle on the right ...

Gday Andrew What I would prefer is a mode 2 setup, reversed, ie cyclic left stick, throttle/tail rotor right stick. From a Pilots perspective I have always found mode 1 odd, however got into that ...

Gday Peter There is a "right" way and a "close enough" way to approach this issue. The method also changes if you are are calculating for a straight wing aircraft as opposed to a swept wing. I fin...

Gday Gaz Yeh you're right, the 600 bodies are thin on the ground. Do you want a Hughes 500, maybe a Hughes 500, ever thought about a Hughes 500? Is the lack of 600 fuse's due to it being a new si...

Gday Andrew I was chatting to Dave about this on the weekend. I am not going to mod the airwolf, it looks the goods already. My attention in regards to multi blade rotors would be applied to the HK...

Gday Peter The best forum I have found is called, Kieran, Gazza, Andrew and Darren, you can "log on" to them most weekends at the field. There are also a couple of Rob's and a Kev who will join you...
