Hi guys good report as usual Dave. I see some of you are looking at the 50mm edf planes now. Don't know if you are aware but Mark at Extreme RC in Melbourne is also selling them. Here is is webpage. h...

That's exactly the reason I have been getting you and other to throw my stang, especially when you upgrade the motor like I have. I've been carefully watching just what throttle setting I should use ...

Steve I have successfully under hand launched the stang when it was stock standard. As Gary says, it's all in the throttle position. My problems with the mustang are all related to upgrading the motor...

Yea Arron what telescope do you have? I have a Celestron SCT 8 which I have had since early 1980's Converted it to computer control a few years ago but I haven't used it for awhile. Used to be a membe...

UHU Creativ for styrafoam is another option. Spotlight sell it at around $10 a tube. Be careful but because there are other types of Creativ for wood etc. Drying time is approx the same as UHU Por. P...

Hi Drew What thickness do you have spare? Also how much per sheet? Paul

Hi Drew, Can I have a couple of 6mm sheets if you have enough? I'm ok for 3mm. thanks

Thanks mate I'll fix you up when I see you.

Not sure yet. Will work out how much material I need for the Bandit and see what I have here. If I have enough I will let this order go. I'll know by tomorrow night and let you know then.

I'll take another 3 x 6mm White Depron thanks

Likewise Drew just let me know how much and I'll get it for you

Thanks Mate, unfortunately I won't be down the field on Saturday to fly but if you are down there can you please give me a call (0404543567) and I'll pop down and fix you up. Otherwise whenever you a...

No worries mate. Just when it comes is fine Sorry it has caused you a bit of hassle.

You must have good eyes George. How could you tell it was an FMS catalogue?

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

I've just received my next plane kit today. This is going to be a build progress thread were I will post photos of various stages of construction. The aircraft is a F14 Tomcat (TopGun) swing wing figh...

Thanks Kieran, It just so happens that I've got a spare Turnigy 2835-2200Kv Inrunner here as I took it off of the old Electrafun XP. Also got some spare esc and plenty of HXT 900 servos. I will need a...

Thanks Rob will have a chat when next we me. I'll make sure I photo document the swing wing feature as I'm pretty sure you would be able to incorporate it into an F111. This build is a "Leap of faith...

Ok everyone, to wet your appetite so to speak here is a short youtube video of the finished model. Note that it incorporates some footage of the real thing just in case you can't tell the difference ;...

Hijack ok this time. :) Don't know about Phantom....(might be my next plane).. :D Seriously no problems but I'm sure if I can do it so can you especially after the awesome job you did on the EasySpo...

Ok, small change of plans. As there are some depron working techniques I need to practice,I've decided to not start this build for a couple of weeks. I have an F16 needing some TLC so follow my progre...

And so it begins............................ Started cutting out the depron parts. Lots of parts all cut out. Construction starts tomorrow. :D Can't wait to fly this baby. Originally a pusher jet...

Going 90mm fan or even 70mm would require too much modification to the airframe which I don't want to do as this plane flies so well as designed (so the various websites reckon anyway). The conversion...

Building progressing. :) Here is some photos of the early stages of construction of the forward fuselage section Floor in place Nose blocks glued in place Nose blocks sanded to approx shape ...

Ok the plot thickens................. First a little history about this model. Originally designed in 2005 as a pusher jet by Steve Shumate in USA. He published his plans for anyone who wanted to buy ...

I have made a decision. :D :D :D :D :D :D I'm staying with a pusher prop model. After long discussion with my financial advisor(wife) she advises that I have sufficient funds to purchase a ARF...

Just want to mention that build has slowed down for the moment as I want to get the Gunfighter back together and able to fly on weekend. Soon as this is done I'll get back to this. Paul

At long last I'm back working on this project. Delay took a bit longer than anticipated.:) Anyway have now completed the engine intakes and attached them to fusalage,also installed motor mount at...

Couldn't help myself...:) I just had to quickly put the parts together to give you an idea of how she will look. Sorry about blurry picture but this is just a quick pic to see the parts tha...

Finally .. I'm at the painting stage of the F14. Stand by for some photos of finished article later this week. :) Maybe I'll get a short video of the swing wing function too.

I know I said that I would have some photos this week but I ended up being sidetracked by a faulty swing wing servo and had to buy one from lhs so painting was on hold. Anyway I did mount the motor a...

Ok Folks at long last she is finished. :D Here are some photos of my latest pride and joy. Mavrick and Goose in the cockpit

Thanks guys, I'm hoping that she flies as good as she looks. Just weighed her and with a 2200mah 3S battery and all electronics she weighs in at 1150grms. Going on the readings I obtained with the wat...

Thanks for the offer Andrew,but I think I'II wait until after Temora. :) Just a bit of background info, the plane is painted in the colours of VF143 Squadron "Pukin Dogs". It was based on the US Carri...

Not really all it says is to mix in some elevator up trim when wings sweep back. Approx 5% is the recommendation.

Well she flies..................:) Had a hard time keeping it in the picture. Also couple of adjustments needed ie. different prop and 1 of the servos needs securing but overall the concensus was that...

LOL..........Good one Kieran. :) Yes Steve, we only made the one flight on Sunday. Kev(my test pilot), was under instructions to just fly it with wings extended while we trimed her out. We cut short t...

LOL... You heard correctly,what you didn't hear was the 100 other times I told him what I wanted even before we got to the field. Got to keep these test jockeys in check otherwise they try to almost d...

LOL Good one Rob. Think I need that software too, My wife has some funny looking eyes each time I mention buying another plane. Paul

Sorry traveling overseas at the moment and just saw this post. There is an American company called 6mmRC who used to produce a kit by approval of The designer Steve Shumate. Not sure if they still ...

Yea me too have had good and bad service. Last order I paid for express post for an item that was suppost to be in stock and it took them over a week to ship. Still came express post but a week just t...

I nearly bought this when I was up in Brisbane but decided against it as I too have a few things in the pipeline. However, I have been looking at some plans for a scratchbuilt C17 Globemaster which I ...

with maybe an escort of mustangs for protection....:)

Looking great Buddy. Any news on missing items?

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.

Looking good Darren. I better get my finger out when I get back from Brissy and get started on the cockpit and radio bay.

Looks great Darren.

The wing itself is probably heavier than the heaviest plane we have flying at our club at the moment.

Yea afraid so. Darren will probably do some taxi tests etc at McCoy but think he will have to go to Blacktown or somewhere to fly it. :(

Don't forget the tail guns....
