G'day Dave Glad you are optimistic mate however my back lawn is still quite spongy. I do hope your right though and the field is in flyable shape. Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve I know what you mean, I work at the speed of dark building aircraft due to the excessive planning/ do I or don't I phase. Beer is consumed during this process. Having said that once I...

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

Amen Gazz I agree with you 100%, if the facility you have paid for is not useable then payment should be deferred or refunded. Having said that what can the council really do and how much responsibil...

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...

G'day Mr JellyV Nice buy mate, you have hours of white knuckled fun ahead of you. The set up can be a bit daunting at first however makes sense after a while. It's great Dave can help you, will save ...

Gday Dave Happy birthday mate. Hope your day went around, and round, and round and........ Hovered a bit Then around again and again... Note: Autorotate powerless at midnight likely. Cheers ...

G'day All Just about to start on the air retracts fir the viper. Manual refers to an air line cutting tool. Anyone know WTF that is? Cheers Rob b

Great photo Paul. It was a shame the cloud rolled in on cue pretty much right when the eclipse started. Cheers Rob b

Gday All Ok I found what one looks like; http://gravity-werx.com/airlinetubingcutter.aspx So we are looking at a blade with a hinge! I think a lightly heated scalpel will do the job just as we...

G'day Gazz I would use the dining room table however the sniper is on it getting the ailerons re hinged. One if them was seriously out of wack, the other was borderline. :D It would be nice to hav...

G'day Frank You went to bed too early mate. The cloud cover wasn't quite 10/10 so a good view was around from time to time. You made it for longer then me Paul, I died at about 0115hrs. Did it clear ...

Mr JellyV Good to hear you are having a good time with the heli. They are infectious things. Following Daves comments I hazard that the esc is fritzy or you may have a dry solder joint somewhere. A ...

Gday Jason If Steve cannot assist I have props coming out of my arse, will check to see if I have what you need (likely) when I get home tonight. Cheers Rob B

Gday Gazz I'll have you know that having props coming out of ones arse is incredibly handy. My prostate is actually a very high kv inrunner so if I connect a 4S battery to my balls when I fart I c...

G'day Jason A quick zip around with an endoscope indicates I do not have the pitch you need. Sorry mate Also, have I just made the first arse/ fart joke on the PRCAC website? If so can I get som...

Gday Wayne At 2.6m glider should not be allowed to have mini in its name. She looks like a very nice glider. Gazz pointed this beast out to me last night, it would carry the Claudio FPV rig wit...

G'day All I would hazard a guess that McCoy is going to be stuffed for some time. The storm that zapped through late yesterday dumped what could best be described as a biblical amount of rain. ...

Gday All For those who missed it i'll try to put some perspective on the downpour. It was so heavy that it was raining "inside" the train I was on going home. The roof leaked it's nuts off in the...

G'day Gazz You have got to stop paddling in the harbour and get out and see the wide wonderful world mate. FYI I am on a train right now. If you are up to seeing some Mass Transit porn I will take...

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...

My God All that work and the field still looks bloody awful. Ahh hang on that's just Gazz. Cheers Rob B

Gazz I am profoundly disappointed that my quip rated only the 2527th ranked swear word of your 9587 strong repertoire. Thought i'd make the top 200 for sure. Seriously the field is looking grea...

G'day Mick The material I was talking about is called Bem Silk which is a dress lining taffeta. Costs under $10 per metre, technique is the same as silkspan. Cheers Rob B

G'day Mick Wayne is right, if you can't get this stuff in cabra you're blind. However, I know lincraft stock it. Cheers Rob B

Gday Aaron You may wish to try and add some "performance" before putting your wife up for sale. May I suggest a bigger LiPo? (Much bigger) or Prop up. or Will her firewall take a Scorpion mo...

G'day Dave A very valid point there mate. You have to shop around a bit to get great deals. Gazz practically gave airwolf away and Darrens last sale was so freaking cheap it was almost irresponsib...

Gday Danial Nooooooo. Adding weight in my eyes should be avoided if possible. Are you able to hack some weight out of the nose area or shift, change your battery? Cheers Rob B

G'day Andrew Yeh I was charged, checked and packed this morning until I looked out the window. Rain at the moment is very light and intermittent. Have you got airwolf all set up ok? Cheers ...

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 ...

Gday All Rain lightly falling now, not looking good. :mad: Cheers Rob B

G'day Chris Build up your adapters using 4mn bullet plugs. I have a bag full of hxt's hope to see you tomorrow at the field so I can give you them. Cheers Rob B

Gday Steve We have some side fumbling occurring at the moment, I believe you have a book of Mr Barnsies that addresses such things, any chance you would be able to drop this off v soon? Cheers ...

All good Steve Cheers Rob B

G'day Claudio The forecast is indeed not good. In particular the "local thunder" bit that has appeared on BOM's thurs forecast has me quite concerned. Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz We may have to leave aircraft stowed and only pull them out for a fly or walk up and down the crowd line when weather permits. I have no idea whether KV can waterproof the PA system? Su...

Gday George/ Andrew If you are intending to set up the Gazebo's at the park you will not be allowed to. The shelters need to be council approved, sandbagged etc etc. Cheers Rob B

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 Mick Nicely written intro there. Aircraft attempting to coexist at the same location does seem to always end badly? The RTSB (Robair Transport Safety Bureau) offers a prelim report for revi...

G'day Paul Full ground calls would not have prevented this one. It was an interesting case of Mick flying a very tight upwind and Owen taking off and joining downwind rapidly. If we want to attempt t...

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

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...

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...

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...

G'day Gazz Stunning aircraft mate. Will be a showstopper with you on the sticks. I too look forward to seeing you shred the atmosphere with her. Cheers Rob B

G'day Kev Woahh, only 3S and, I don't believe it, a balanced prop? You must be sick or something. Really sick..... Deathbed sick even.... :) Cheers Rob B

G'day Jason That's a very nice piece of engineering there. Very cool and very expensive I would imagine. Seems to be able to spin that HK 13*8 4 blader quite handily. What is the diameter of the...
