A very sad day for Aviation http://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2014/08/flight-safety-australia-remembers-macarthur-job/ Rob B

G'day Kev Nasty stuff, I note the fatalities now number 10. From viewing other footage a few meters difference to the impact point could have added to that toll significantly. Cheers Rob B

Gday All As I work for Coleman I am able to utilise special pricing for Staff and Friends of Coleman Staff. I am sure you can understand that I am unable to post such pricing in a public forum due to...

Gday Mick I'll have those priced up for you in the next day or so. Cheers Rob B

This is an intersting topic considering that LiPo's are not cheap, I note that the serious RC'ers will generally heat their batteries up to about 55degreesC for optimum performance. Also, on the Extre...

Gday Mick If you end up with a AR7000 receiver I will swap you for my 6110 and pay the diff if you like. We can discuss this at the field if need be. Both will work fine with the DX7 Cheers Rob B

Oops, ignore my above post. Just belatedly noticed you were going to use the 7000 in a heli. Cheers Rob B

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...

Gday All This will be a bit "off topic" however seeing as we spend a heap of time looking up into the sky whilst RC flying I am wondering if we have any club members who look a bit further afar, a ...

Good Stuff Mick I too am getting the photography side slowly sorted using an Orion webcam into AmCap software then processed by Registax. Good results with space objects however I need to get a foc...

Thanks Mick I'll have a look at that alternative software you mentioned. Happy observing..... Cheers Rob B

Withdrawn from sale Rob B

Yep, you've got to be on your A game with the heli flying. It's a good stress and challenge. Flying my drone is a no brainer in comparison. See you at the field heli pad soon. Rob B

Gday All For sale is a beautiful T-Rex 600 ESP Special edition heli wrapped in a Heliartist Airwolf body. I do not have the skills to do her justice and would much prefer she went to someone who c...

Gday Mr JellyV I think quads are all the rage now, the heli learning curve is light years steeper and is not everyone's cup of tea. Having said that these things happen for a reason so I guess she sta...

Gday Todd Don't let the helis intimidate you. They just take a ton of practice and patience. I learnt on my twister 3D storm and it was many many hours before I even lifted her off the ground. The ...

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...

G'day John Greetings from downunder. I am in agreeance with Dave, the nanotech packs from Hobby King are hard to beat. The turnigy 3S 2650 nanotechs that I use have a discharge rating of 35 to 70C an...

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

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...

Nice work mate!! I wonder how many bits and pieces are scattered around the field? Probably enough to construct an aircraft methinks. Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew That is seriously bizarre. I can only surmise that you may have a dodgy solder join somewhere, or, a break in the wires from the motor that is causing an intermittent fault. I cannot see ...

G'day All I vividly remember my first go around many years ago whilst training for my gfpt in the wonderful C152. It was my 3rd flight and we had droned around the training area and headed back via 2...

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...

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

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 ...

Gday Bob If Kieran is not around I would be more than happy to get you sorted out and in the air. I have a DX7 and also have flown/ owned an ST360 so I know how they go together. I would have helped ...

Gday Simon There are 2 things I can think of that may assist. 1- Set throttle range. (With no power connected to the aircraft turn your tx on and put the throttle to full power. Connect power to the ...

Gday Simon Glad that issue is all sorted out, might be a good idea to ask Kieran to give it a once over before flight to make sure all is truly ok. Keiran knows his DX7 and the Trojan back to front s...

Gday All If I could involve our collective minds here it would be appreciated. Due to a landing mishap on Monday (prop dug into soft ground) I have snapped the shaft of my Glider motor (Thunder Tiger...

Gday All Thanks for all the tips, I like the idea of simply making a new shaft, I think I might try that first. However will also try out the Vella option due to said gentlemans highly confident tone...

Gday All I finally got around to investigating the implications of this with my DX8, too easy, downloaded an update to the TX and I can now choose between DSM2 and DSMX. RC Model review makes an in...

Gday Gazz Yep it's easy as. For the DX8 Spektrum have set up a website called "Spektrum Community". https://community.spektrumrc.com/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fMyAccount%2fDefault.aspx You register...

Gday Jason I am quite interested however am out of the country until next week (back on 18th). Can you let me know what capacity 3S batt it eats? Thanks Rob B

Gday Jason I'll take this off your friends hands, meet you at the field this weekend to do the deal? Cheers Rob B

All good, thanks Jason I'll have to give the swap meet a serious spin then..... Cheers Rob B

Love it. Sold. I collect old wartime propaganda posters so this fits in Let me know what else you have. Cheers Rob B

Gday Arron I will contact you later today to org a pickup time. Cheers Rob B

Thanks JV for clarifying the wasps are European and not African. We should all know the consequences of not being able to differentiate between the two. We've dodged a bullet there methinks. Does a...

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...

I too was a little concerned that I had not assisted at all with the ongoing awesome maintenance of the field however thought an apology would be pointless as nobody will remember who I am anyway. I ...

G'day Gazz All good, when a little guy comes to have a chat and 15 seconds later the MCoy field profanity filter explodes you know it's me. I will then prob grab you for an expletive filled few fl...

Gday All I find soldering Deans plugs a pain in the arse. Kieran mentioned to me the other day that the HobbyKing Deans "style" plugs are much easier to solder as they have a solder reservoir so to s...

Gday Paul In all fairness to Kev if all the fasteners etc on your T28 were adequately loctited you would never have had that flyaway. Cheers Rob B

Now that looks awesome. :) Cheers Rob B

Heya robbo, Bob needs male to male mate. (What a sentence that is ?) I have the bits and pieces to make bespoke cabling, I'll see if I can find them and make one up for you Bob. Stay tuned Rob B

It's all good Bob, I have all the bits required in front of me now and the job is 1/2 complete. Rob B

Gday Bob Cable is good to go. How do you want me to get that to you? Rob B

No worries Bob I'll wander down to the field on Saturday morning. What time do you expect to be there? Rob B
