Gday KV Blackhawk? You're joking right? From the scale of the wall it is leaning against + the people standing around it I would say that it is not more than 4 or 5m long, has very short high rpm ...

Gday KV I am too seeing a lot of Blackhawk interpretations however it makes no sense. In the picture you posted there is a guy with his hand on one of the stubby little wings. A Blackhawks dimensio...

Gday All Seeing as I am speculating my nuts off in another forum at the moment I must ask the question, why is HK now selling turbine FOD guards? Could we see some budget turbines in the near futu...

Gday Claudius Now that make a bit more sense, will re-scale using that philosophy, still feel the overall geometry does not support that. Cheers Rob B

That Banzuke is bloody funny. !!!! Some good and bad flying efforts in there. I'd be keen to try some Banzuke style commentary next time Andrew is down with his camera. :thumbup: A KV hand launch w...

Top idea. Because I fly like crap compared to Gazz I am a bit more of an "expert". And have done quite a bit of building.... and... rebuilding. Cheers Rob B

Gday KV I stand corrected. You wanted "to believe". Now it seems you can. Good Stuff. Cheers Rob B

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 Graham If it is any consolation, from memory Ingo and I had to cool our heels for a few months back when we joined the club. It's just one of those things. Cheers Rob B

Gday KV Can you elaborate? A spin is a simple and fundamental maneuver that any pilot must master. I am unsure where the confusion lies. A true spin involves a reduction of airspeed to the point w...

Gday Steve Any aircraft (fixed wing) will spin. If the aircraft enters the stall and descends wings level with a nose high attitude (mushing) the spin can be induced by aileron input to drop the wi...

Gday Dave I can't interpret the gold wings requirement as needing the spin to be uncontrolled, whatever that means. However what you have described would be a real "tester" for sure. Also, last...

Yep :):thumbup: Cheers Rob B

Gday Steve Sorry, I missed your earlier reply, to recover from the incipient spin it is stick forward to regain airspeed, however to recover from the actual spin it is opposite rudder to the directio...

Gday Steve Yes will be down today for a bit, just cramming coffee into myself as we "speak". Can only stay untill 1030 or so, expect field arrival about 9'ish. Looking forward to it as I am sure th...

Gday Rob Thought you had completely disappeared, still have to swap some cash for some batteries with you mate. Cheers Rob B

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

Gday All Hey KV, you don't seriously expect us to believe this comment do you? "I was just crusing slow, straight and level with the Stryker":lol: Thanks for the heads up re fog and 2.4 though, I ...

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 ...

Gday Mick I have been down a identical road with my Twinstar, Kieran's suggested parts list looks good stuff. I am going to hold off posting the specific specs for the moment as Kieran is going to...

Gday Mick I am assuming you have this all sorted however the twinstar runs on the following set up. Each side runs a 2650 nanotech via turnigy plush 60 to a turnigy aerodrive xp 35-36 1400kv mot...

Gday Fellow Heli Heads Just following up on the thread from the Airwolf "For Sale" forum. The quality of the trex compared to the hk's is considerable and must make the point again that Gazz has...

G'day all Toonie copped a massive amount of rain last night. I think we are now in the territory of needing one of gazz's jet boats Cheers Rob b

G'day Stephen Nice Stryker mods, 10*10 prop must be a tight fit. Seeing as the weather is so crap I was considering ruddering up my Stryker as today's project. Any hints for me there? Cheers R...

Happy Birthday Mr Murray. You must be almost as old as Gazz now?? I forgot to thank you the other day for sharing memories of your participation in the Boer war. Thanks mate, was interesting stuff! ...

Gday Drew Hope you are having a good pseudo b/day. If anyone is planning to fly tomorrow you may wish to re-think, 50kmh winds forecast. Cheers Rob B

Ok Gazz thanks for that, will give her a nuking with my iron. Cheers Rob b

Gday Steve You are a menace to motors. :D I think its time you investigated micro turbines. :thumbup: Cheers Rob B

Gday All This thread seems appropriate to notify of a project I have been working on. Reason being that the thread focus seems to be on frying things and/ or "irresponsible" amount of power. I ...

Gday Steve 1100KV motor. Bummer re the power lines mate, did you manage to land her ok or did she get trashed? Cheers Rob B

Gday All Hoping I can get some tips here. I have de-covered the TwinStar as phase one of her makeover. As expected there are bits and pieces left behind all over the airframe, the outer clear cov...

Gday Andrew I would call a baton drop as stating "resume own navigation" or "you are leaving my airspace" Cheers Rob b

Gday All Count me in. Now, who is going to put in the monstrous depron order? Cheers Rob B

Gday Gazz/ KV As expected my iron needs a major cleaning however got most of the residual film off. From the pace I set yesterday I will be sanding most of today. :paranoid: I am aiming for a ni...

Gday All Some time ago i decided to get off my arse and source some folding props for my gliders. Kieran pointed me to a gentleman called Peter Pine who stocks Aero-naut gear. I emailed Peter with ...

G'day Chris I have a 13*6.5 apc you are quite welcome to. Cheers Rob b

G'day Chris No worries will do the above shortly Cheers Rob b

G'day Pete I am having a chuckle that the first member out of the blocks in the depron challenge is building out of........signboard. I must get started on my "depron dodo" This design is optimised...

Gday All Hope you had a good AGM, apologies I could not be there, I was seriously delayed flying back from Brisvegas so missed the show. When I got home I decided to have a bit of heli practice in t...

Gday Gazz I am still spun out as to what happened. Stay tuned, I would like to bounce some theories of the fellow club rotor heads. I am getting info together and I am going to try an suss out what...

G'day Dave The blades in question were HK 3d composite jobs and had come from Darren so can't question their integrity from that perspective. Ran some calcs as per your equation and was well below ...

Gday John Did you re-bind the receiver when you installed the satellite? When I got my 1st sat, I noticed that on first fire up the main receiver got a solid light however the satellite flashed aw...

Awesome stuff, where did you find that gem? Cheers Rob b

Too cool I thought the car wash was pretty average however I was SOLD when I found out it even had a sign. That stuff gave me a good laugh, all well and good except I am currently on a peak hour train...

Gday All We had a pretty decent dump of rain early this morning at Toonie and it looks pretty shabby out there right now. Likely the field has reverted back to semi swamp status? Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Helicopters don't require thrust per se by virtue of the fact that they are so ugly they repel the earth. The above is also a fair explanation as to why only true "He Men" have the requi...
