Hi Kieran, What a great job you have done!! Simple but very effective!!

Another great job.......and the music is certainly adapted for the occasion!! One thing though!! The sunand dry, green grass make one recall the days when flying was done without having to deal with ...

In the first place i would suggest that tomorrow before flying we should organise some sort of working bee and/or a meeting to discuss how to tackle this problem. it is now getting beyond a joke that ...

I have four 1800 3S Lipo batteries that I used to use on the Cub which I am now retiring. Could anyone tell me if I can use them on the T-28 Trojan which normally uses the 2200 3S Lipo batteries with...

Hi Kieran, Thanks a lot. That gives me another 4 batteries to use while charging the 2200's :D As you know I'm rather conservative on flying times anyway!!!

Went to the field with John Pellicano this afternoon and found that the field itself is quite good for a fly tomorrow. There are still a few cans and other objects lying around but the ground is qui...

I'm hoping to be able to maiden the TB-20 too...........with Darren's help of course :D

Hi Steve, Thanks for the advice. At the moment I am working of the Trojan since it had quite a few structural weaknesses. I ordered a new Fuselage and a wing but the wing came in white. This is the re...

And whoever said that flying a plane cannot be considered as communing with nature? Very nice experience, Kev!!!!!!!:):):):)

Just wait until the photos that ingo took this morning after the "once over' the field got last night. Makes you want to pull you hair out!!:evil::evil::evil: Luckily I've still got some let on top o...

Read yesterday on the Hobbyking Website that their "Sydney Warehouse has now received its first consigment" Can anyone tell me where it is and if it is operational, phone no etc.; I suppose that w...

Thanks Paul for the information.Looks like they HK obviously do not appreciate the distances that we have in this country. South of Nowra!!!???............Cor, Blimey they should have tried Albury ...

Was just wondering how much that engine cost the guy!!!!!!!! One consolation though......we're not the only ones to contend with high tension wires.

What a beautiful picture the P51's and the Spitfire flying together make. Keep the pics coming.........and what about the Eagle in flight!!!.............just awsome:):):):)

Definitely gotta do something about it:evil::evil:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G'day Kieran, Have saved some of these fantastic F-111 pictures.By the looks of it one would not say that they have been in service for so many years. Great idea of yours to publish on website. Also...

I am getting my new Corsiar ready to (if possible) maiden tomorrow. However I just have a little sticky situation with the Elevator. The left hand elevator is grossly higher than the one on the rig...

I find that I practically have to charge the Nicad Battery Pack on my DX-7 transmitter almost every time I have to fly. The directions that come with the DX-7 specifically do not recommend using Li...

Thanks for all your helpful inputs. It would appear that, like everything else changing from one thing to another always has its pros and cons. Will defintiely have to be very way of the 11.00V cli...

Good Job Steve!!!!! Certainly putting in a lot of thinking into this project. Got to admire guys like you who take the plunge, make some decisions that may not agree with the original instructi...

A really good-looking plane. Tell me something, though, Paul.....have you fibreglassed it...........definitely does not look like the original cut-up material. If so a really awesome job too!! Vi...

Was driving up Powers Rd and decided to go and have a look at the field. There were no obvious wet patches on any of the strips and the location where we park the cars is nice and dry, Noted however...

Really very interesting. It's up on my "Favourites" Thanks Gary

I suppose that's what they call good marksmanship Drew!!! Glad you managed to get it down and is now on the way to recovery!!

Good on you Ingo. I knew that with your insistence you'd be flying this one soon. Was hoping to be able to have a fly tomorrow morning but Steve Murray's message ealier today has put stop to that...t...
