Gday All If you thought the profanity filter was a good idea, or, you like cats? Do NOT head for the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY6DxWFgnJc Cheers Rob B

Gday All If anyone is feeling particularly stupid or adventurous (you choose what is the appropriate word) have we found something for YOU. http://www.youtube.com/v/zok7LltWU0E?hl=fr_FR&version=...

An interesting concept however highly flawed in my opinion. The pilot in me is quite frankly surprised this is receiving research funding. Thanks for posting the vid though. Any idea is better than ...

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 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 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...

G'day gazz Congrats on the gold wings and instructor ratings mate. Well done! Your challenge now if you choose to accept it would be to guide a student around a single circuit using only the words an...

Too funny claudio I stand corrected, however Gazz wouldn't have a hope in hell of passing your challenge. We need to be fair and set achievable goals. Apologies to the other new goldies out there fo...

G'day Steve 50+ amps thrown at a rare bear? That's just diabolical. I am trying to reconcile that to my 2m 4kg cub that draws under 40 amps. Seems incredibly inefficient? Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve Not doubting your data at all mate, if I had a serious electrical question you'd be the first person I'd ask! I just find it amazing that such a tiny plane can, if given the opportunity, ...

Gday Steve "Though i tended to fly full throttle most the time." Thanks for pointing that out, I would never have guessed..... :lol::lol::lol::lol: Cheers Rob B

Face it Steve, you're a Marshall amplifier.... Which go all the way to 11. This is why batteries, esc's and motors secretly hate you :) Cheers Rob B

G'day Steve 28 amps seems more respectable, your original amp draw was as I said previously just diabolical. Nice work narrowing down the issue! Cheers Rob B

G'day Stephen I see your pylon monster has a v tail. Is that normal for that style of racing? Cheers Rob B

Gday All Any idea when the goods that Colin picked up will be available, I need to get onto my heatshrinking ASAP so I can shoot my iron to Kev? Cheers Rob B

Gday All Wondering if I could get some advice here, I have just inherited a Hobby Zone Super Cub however it still has the brushed gearboxed crap motor Esc etc etc.What would be a good Hobby King moto...

Gday All Thanks for the advice, Kieran you are right, I am "scared" of raw horsepower at the moment. Due to the fact that I have had very little flying time of late I have decided to step back a bit ...

Very Tongue in Cheek reply from RB Gday Paul (Getting crazier) and Kieran (Known and Certified Power Loony) That is one hell of a motor for a teeny cub, as a comparison my glider drew a max of 16 am...

Gday Steve Thanks for the heads up re the replacement motor mount, I am pretty sure that when I get confident with the Stryker it will probably end up getting "turbo charged" and thus require a stron...

Gday Kieran I cannot seem to edit orders in the group order thread? It states that the thread is locked? Cheers Rob B

Gday Drew Well your issue above certainly adds to the "urgency" of the situation. May I suggest the use of CTRL A (select all) when your wife places order? Bear in mind, of late, due to various is...

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 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 ...

Cool plush 60's and orange rx's back in stock Yay Cheers Rob B

Gday Kieran/ Capt R Could you check the blades I have ordered for the heli I have just grabbed from Darren are the right ones. Darren suggested I save the carbon blades for when I actually know wha...

Gday Rob (Ver.2 Upgrade) Thanks for the spare parts suggestions, in summary it appears that anything that moves is a candidate for the spare parts list. On another tack, I have just noticed that...

Gday All JR orange RX satellite receivers have arrived. Sweet. See last line of my HK order for a quick link to them. Cheers Rob B

Gday Mick HK covering is good, easy to use albeit a little heavy, I can lend you my iron if you like as I have no covering jobs on at the moment. Planning to be down at the field tomorrow and/ or w...

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 All Although I really should not be buying any more aircraft this puppy is making me drool uncontrollably. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19730__G500_Fiberglass_90mm_x_2_EDF_1860m...

G'day Gazz Yeh I am in the same boat, other stuff to finish. Having said that............. Looks too damn nice! also, seeing as you are a 90mm fan expert could you look over my HK order for the ...

Gday kv And I am testing their smaller version soon? Big bro of the 64mm on the way? Cheers Rob b

Gday Ingo Glad to hear all went well for you, the twins do sound quite angry don't they. :D I was a bit concerned though when you stated that one engine fired up whilst the other failed to kick in...

G'day all Well the twinstar finally emerged from the robair hangar and had a successful maiden in its new EP powered form. Much thanks to kieran for his technical and flying support. I am very ha...

Gday Andrew Make that 3 Spitty's, my Durafly is dialed in and ready to fly. We may have to decide on some unique markings so we can tell them apart though. Cheers Rob B

Gday Andrew Good point, i'd say my Spit will be the one that looks most likely to shoot itself down. On further reflection suspect I have the variant called a "Splatfire". Over to you Mr Murray. ...

Gday All Rotating off the water too early could cause that violent wing drop, if the aircraft was rotated below stall speed as soon as she got out of ground (water) effect a true stall would potent...

G'day Chris Good to hear the p40 has had a flight. I can commentate you out of a landing noseover on the day if required. Also, I realised I have reason to submit a maiden flight report for my ...

G'day Dave Kieran told me about the spitty flight when he dropped her off. It was easy to set up because I had Andrews to compare to. Was not surprised she flew well in Kieran's capable hands. Speaki...

G'day Frank I am 110% with Gazz on this one. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the orange receivers however I don't think their range is is good as the genuine article. I use a general pr...

Gday George Hope that all works out ok, Banana Hobbies have a very very bad reputation. Some of the forums I have read have comments about them that would possibly make Gazz blush. Cheers Rob B

G'day Gazz No seriously, the issues that you had with the uber cockroach Sukhoi are minor compared to what Banana can allegedly kick out if the forum comments are to be believed. Diabolical stuff....
