Guys, Sometimes as president I find myself feeling like a mean old fart. I want to remind everybody that we have a requirement at all fliers at our field be covered by insurance. This includes (es...

After being without internet access for the last 10 days I'm back...(thank god) :) :) Had a lot of problems with my internet providor who stuffed up my initial request for support and then only expe...

Hi guys Just wanted to draw your attention to a sneeky little HK trick that has caught me out. I usually use the HK 929MG Digital servos on my foamies. They are a good cheap little servo. Hobby ...

How good is this bloke [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C65y-fQChDo[/youtube] Wonder how he would go with a little wind. :) Paul

This is a photo taken at our recent Xmas Party. I'm sure one of you guys can come up with a funny caption to fit this. No prize for the winner.:)

These are just some of the photos from today's batch. Have not applied any editing to them so they should be croped and a bit but wanted to give you an idea of what was on display.

Just realised that I never showed any photos of kev and my project x. This is a Phase3 F16 with a modified fan/motor arrangement. We brought it down to the field a couple of weekends ago but found...

Hey Kizza Think the site is still running on DST. Paul

Hey Kieran, I've just noticed that the date on the home page says Jan1 2009. Is this suppose to change each date to current date? Don't even know why I noticed it today :)[hr] Don't worry I see now...

Just had to post this photo of my all time favourite pilot. This was taken at the weekend at Temora. I call him Ivan the Terrible.

Looks like a lot of fun. :D Quite like the 5 min free for all combat idea. Last man standing is the winner. Paul

Here's a bit of fun for today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQL9Kxxd88s

Hi Guys, Sorry to bring this up, but after discussion with Darren today, we think we need to remind everyone of our agreement with Parramatta Council. We have told them that we will not fly before 8...

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 Guys, Found this on youtube hope you all enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ4HQe5vXUQ&feature=player_embedded#t=230 Think it's very well done. Paul

Love the cat at the end. :)

"Oh God, Please help me ge out of the bad habit that I have gotten into when flying." Dumb ass Paul, seems tohave gotten into the habit of holding transmitter with his right index finger resting ...

At Darren's request I approached Ultimate Hobbies re obtaining a discount for club members. I was very disappointed with their responce. I was told that they feel that their prices are cheap enough co...

A little off topic I know but how about going for a ride on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=712tMWqYJMI&feature=related Reckon it would be fun.:twisted: Paul

Yea mate I love Roller Coasters too. Lots of fun and plenty of thrills in the US ones that I've been on. I agree the Gold Coast ones are very tame in comparison.

Hi folks, During my little holiday last week I took some video footage using my HDVideo Camera. Same one that I used at Parramatta Park on Australia Day. Once again I ended up with just the first 3 or...

Thanks Mate, Downloaded the recova software but unfortunately still no video. At the completion of each short video I see a processing bar which goes from 0 to 100%. All watchable videos reach 100% pr...

Here you are Kieran, Upgrade to this and you are sure to take out the fastest airspeed prize. ;) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sNgOGh-oKI&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Paul

Doooh!!!!!!! :oops:

Hi Guys, New Gunfighter is all ready for maiden flight tomorrow. Just have a quick question re "wing skids". I bought some in the last HC order I want to put onto Gunfighter to protect aileron servos...

I had a good close look at the wings at rest on the ground and they were in fact resting on the aileron linkage dependent on which way wing was leaning.. I went and put the skids next to the linkages ...

Noticed that it's your birthday today Garry.:) Happy Birthday mate hope you have a good one. Paul

All the best Mate... Keep them coming :)

I've used Philip at pw-rc.com a number of times. He has very reasonable freight prices and his service is excellent. I've ordered stuff from him on a weekend and had it delivered by following weekend....

Looks like you've fixed it now. Great job thanks Paul

Hi Kieran, Has something changed on the website? I'm not getting any emails advising me of new messages. Maybe it's my email filter playing up. Paul

Who is the naked girl in the fur coat standing under the Lion King sign? Bet that gets you all looking.........................................:)

Just thought I would show off the latest edition to my hanger. It's a fibreglass fusealage with balsa wings 70mm Eflite model. Same power setup as the Parkzone Habu Don't think available in...

Glad there was no permanent damage. Sounds like you were having fun up till then. Isn't it always the way just when you think everything's going ok then suddenly drama.. :( I had my share last Satur...

Anyone ever have to solder a charge plug back onto a battery? One of my batteries has 2 of the 4 charge plug cables come off the battery. Had a little peek inside the battery and it looks like all ...

Wow....Good catch that would have done some damage if you hadn't been around to see it

While watching Steve,Kieran and Kev flying their Funjets I was struck with how much they looked like the Space Shuttle especially when doing high alphas into the wind and when gliding in on approach. ...

I would only recommend buying the nanotechs from HK as you will need to pay for EMS shipping. Not sure if there is a restriction on how many Amps can be posted in one parcel either so you may need to ...

Yep I second/third that. My computers are online 24/7 so even if my status show as being away I'm not that far and usually get messages pretty quickly. Kieran,Kev and myself use it a lot. Paul

It's back.................. :) Kev climbed the tower and recovered it this afternoon. It looks like it's ok no visible damage except for some scratches etc. So look out folks bring your tin hats next...

Very nice. Must ask him to make me a set of retracts for the Gunfighter. :) Seriously though, he is a master modeller. Wish I had 25% of his skills I would be happy. Those models would be worth a sma...

Santa has been very good to me this year. Pat and I came down to Canberra for an overnight stay and to pick up my new toy. It's a 2.26Metre Northop P-61 Black Widow Nightfighter. Flying weight wil...

You are of course correct Steve. My Fault did not look close enough. Will find a new photo and edit post thanks

Yea mate already doing some research for the cockpit. :) As you say plenty of room in this one.

All ready for maiden tomorrow. Hope the weather is good. Bandit has new Habu Fan and Motor Combo too.

LOL Thanks Gazz. Does look a bit cartoon like. It's a concept plane someones idea of a future aircraft. If it flies even a third as good as this I'll be happy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wiwv19SyL...

Replaced the motor. Original burned out because my mounting screws where 2mm too long and shortened the windings. :( Wattups up now shows 54A @ 710 Watts. Plane is pretty light so should go OK.

Friend of mine sent me this. What to do when you've achieved your goal in life, Paul http://s848.photobucket.com/albums/ab46/paulj_photo/?action=view¤t=RR-TD.flv

Maybe one day our club will put on a display like this on Australia Day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u_CzEeap-g&feature=player_embedded These guys are just great.

Here is some better video of these guys. Watch at around 6:16 for how close a couple of them come. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je2iu8Lw5dQ
