Scissors :) That's what Kev and I used anyway. Really have no idea what it could be.

Just thought I'd show all of you who slept through this morning's eclipse what you missed. The moon played hide and seek with the clouds during the eclipse but luck was with me and I managed to get...

Thanks Jason, Do you buy direct from them? or do they have retailers close by?

Jason where are you getting the foam blocks from? What sort of foam are they?

8. You find some LiPo's and you can't remember what you used them for.

Called into McCoy this afternoon to see for myself what condition was like. I hate to say this but it was terrible. Hardly recognised the place. Here are some shots taken on my phone camera. This is...

Yes Happy Birthday mate

Hi Gaz Here is some photos of my installation. First off we epoxied in 10 x 5mm Basswood Rails. In order to get a nice snug fit around the Stumax housing we found that it was necessary to add an e...

Ok mate will do. Will get the photos done tomorrow morning.

A metre off the ground or 20 metres off what's the difference? Planes where still far too close to each other. Thankfully not too much damage this time but we might not always be that lucky. Please wo...

Not another mid-air guys.... What happened to the calling?

Bummer.....doubt that wind will blow that down.

what can I say?.................:( I guess we have to face the reality that unless council can fence of our entire area (which they can't) we are going to see this happen time and again. Neither ...

Hey Gaz, I've just bought 2 of those 10blade 70mm fans from china. Going to swap them over from the plastic Change Sun housings to something like a wemo housing. Lots of reading on RC Groups about th...

Hi Chris If getting from US the method you want is USPS (United States Postal Service) Lots of people get it mixed up with UPS which is a freight company same as Fedex. Fedex and UPS will always be a ...

Great work Gazz. Like the tip about heating the Xacto Knife. If I get the time this weekend I'll do a video of the mounting of the Stumax and the inlet adapter.

Stop picking on my drinking buddy.................:)

Enjoy the holiday hope the weather improves for you I'm afraid it's not looking too great but..

You are both of course correct. I need to get something to keep me active while building the other planes. Steve thanks for the offer of the cessna but I feel that I want something a bit different. I...

I haven't been flying lately due to a number of reasons mainly family committments, however there is another reason also. I have had to retire a couple of my planes which has reduced my planes wi...

Depends on how money you want to throw at this Rob. 90mm Stumax are hard to beat but you pay a premium for them and there is usually a short delay in getting them. Looking around $500 each for fan/mot...

We had a bit of rain again tonight so I don't expect the field to be in great condition. Regarding mowing, if the field is soft Darren will probably not cut the grass as the ride on mower is heavy and...

Thanks for the good wishes Guys. Don't feel a day older than 66 years :) As for flying, well not this weekend got the grandson staying with me for a week as Kev and Tammy are off on a cruise to the ...

Sat is out for me again :( Hope Sunday turns out ok as so far I haven't had a chance to try area 51.

Sorry guys no flying for me this weekend. I have Ryan overnight tonight and don't want to leave him at home tomorrow. He is not too keen on the idea of going down to the field and that's ok with me. ...

Steve, Don't think Darren is aware of the proposed field layout changes yet.

I don't want to see strict rules introduced to the flight line,unless absolutely necessary. Much better for everyone if we all co-operate with each other. As Gazz has mentioned there are times when ou...

Hi guys, Don't want to spoil anyones fun but feel I need to remind everyone of the flight line etiquette of calling out ones intentions when flying. I noticed today that the line was very quiet an...

I'm planning on being there in the morning but maybe not before 9:30 or so. If gate is still locked then I will open up.

Yea Gary, Darren has a Gas Turbine in mind for this baby.

Hi John, Hope you get some good flying in tomorrow. Can I ask that you keep comments about the name of possible alternate venues to the member's only section. thanks

Hmmm are you Victor? I must be a close runner up then :)

Hi Gaz Thanks for the tip. I hadn't noticed that yet as I've been rather busy lately what with fixing kev's PC9 and Temora. Yea Darren had a look at the turbine installation and we worked it out. Rat...

Hi Steve I like the Stuka always have. We spoke about the Hurricane last weekend and I noticed a build thread on RCGroups today. Are youaware of it? Here is the link: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/sh...

Sounds great looks like we will have a few airliners flying soon I'm doing the B737-800 and the Airbus A380. A380 will be in Qantas colours and B737 will be in EgyptAir colours. B737 is twin 70mm EDF ...

Sound cool Rob. I admire you people that can sit down and work all this out. My flaps with have a servo on each wing and spoilers will have 1 servo in each wing also. They will have small return sprin...

Hi Rob I'm putting fowler flaps on to both of my airliners. Not sure if I am using the same method as you but this is what mine should look like when finished. (I'm also putting in the spoilers.) http...

Looking good. By the look of the progress you've made I better get my finger out and get cracking on the scale cockpit and radio room areas.

Didn't make it down to the field today as planned. Grandkids from Brisbane arrived yesterday and was hoping to bring them down to see the planes. However I tried to cut my lawn earlier this week se...

Sorry to hear the news Andrew. Hope shoulder heals quick. Paul

That was the last thing I expected to see.......:)

Actually with a little bit of luck kev may have his PC9 back on Sunday. It's well under way.

Here is another FPV video that I found to be just so relaxing. This kind of flying has got to be the ultimate in realism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZN0PeD4B8c&feature=related

Doubt that I'l even try this weekend again I've got plenty to do here at home anyway.

Wow, I'd love one of these. Don't know where I'd put it though....:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz4NcTnQedo&annotation_id=annotation_785740&feature=iv Here is a bit of info on it. http://www.dai...

Hi Drew, I'll take 3 sheets of the 2mm Depron from you if you have enough spare. Going to use them to skin an Airliner. Paul

Yea Andrew as Steve says 6v is quite common these days. All DX6i are powered by 4 AAA batteries. Also it's easier if you buy the right mode at the beginning that way you know it should work ok.

No mate had too much to do on weekend did not make it to Darren's place. I'll talk to him on Saturday seeing as Sunday is Father's Day and I'll be at a family picnic. Hopefully get a little bit of fly...

Looking great Buddy. Any news on missing items?

Touch wood I have never had any problems with my Spektrum gear including the Hobby King clone rx's. I have a DX6i but recently a member was sell his JR 9 channel radio and I bought it from him. This t...
