G'day Steve Would you be able to do me a favour and measure the height off the control surface the top hole of your viper control horns are? The horns were missing from my kit so need to source al...

G'day KV Yeh that is an option, I could easily make horns out of pcb or carbon strip. However I want my horns screwed through the wing not epoxied. I really want to know what Sapac supply as sta...

G'day Steve Thanks for that, I am using mg939's too however mine are mounted in the wing not on the covers like yours. If work doesn't get in the way I hope to finish the viper today. Tests last ...

G'day Gazz Stock 70mm Sapac fan mate, full power runups give a healthy amount of thrust however feel that this fan will only give "sport" performance. The way the weight is piling on suspect an angri...

Gday Mick Good stuff, the Morane Saulnier A1 is one of the prettiest aircraft around. I have gone through miles of basswood building structures for my model railways. You would be able to get some...

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 Mick Awesome stuff, she looks gorgeous. How have you found working with bem silk. Also, had any issues with uneven drying or surface warping? Cheers Rob B

Interesting Mick Your technique is different to mine. I completely wet the silk with distilled water, apply a very thin coat of dope/thinner to the surface to be covered then lay down and tack. I t...

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

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 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 ...

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...

Hey KV I believe it is mandatory to have a photographic record of such comprehensive carnage? Or, even better, video.... Cheers Rob B

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

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 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 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 Gaz Andrew R posted this link on the group order discussion page that may assist. http://stores.ebay.com/sylvian1975/_i.html?rt=nc&_sid=362156939&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1 I reall...

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 All Kieran, nice job putting the xmas decorations on the house and lawn, but..it's October mate? I don't recall any references to Helicopters in the Bible either. But I could be wrong! Andrew...

Gday Gaz/ All I have two of the servo speed regulators that Kieran posted the link for. One is installed in the Valkyrie's landing gear circuit and it works as advertised. I am super happy. The ot...

Gday Gaz All good mate, that Airwolf is going to be a cracker. I am waiting for my next paycheck and might get a DX11 so I have capacity for the future, although probably will get a DX8 as they lo...

Gday Kev No way could I say I have "made the transition", my flights are generally at dot feet just sliding the training legs around, highest flight would be at about 15cm. I am treading very ginge...

Gday Kev For me patience has been the key so far, taking the little baby steps and adhering to the day 1, 2 day.. etc principle. The training gear is tops and vital for the newbie. Easily absorbs ...

Gday Kev Just saw your HK order. Onya mate!!! :thumbup: Cheers Rob B

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...

Gday Kev Yah I have my DX7 set up the same way, it feels so bloody odd though having the cyclic split over 2 sticks. :confused: I haven't flown Gazza's heli though since I ripped out his 36mhz r...

Gday KV Count me in too! Cheers Rob B

Gday Fellow Rotor Heads I just has a minor mishap with the 500GT and stripped a little chunk out of the pinion that meshes with the main gear and powers the drive belt. Note to self, nose in hoveri...

Thanks gazz Should I go the torque tube upgrade seeing as I will be gutting her? Cheers Rob b

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 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

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

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...

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...

All good Steve Cheers Rob B

G'day Paul Yeh that was funny and well put together. Don't think Rocelle would buy into that however my daughter Maya is progressing nicely. She is only 3 though so time is not on my side. Cheers Ro...

G'day All I love cats and I love rc. This is a match made in heaven. Imagine how seriously you could piss the dog next door off with one hovering just above fence height? Cheers Rob B
