Thanks for letting me use those packs of yours Frank !! It was a great afternoon I really enjoyed a bit of pylon practice and flying the EF1s around the course was the icing on the cake !!

I'vr got some lipos on the charge in th hope that the will weather will be nice in the morning

Here's the cage all finished It's only meshed on the front, near side and on the top. The back goes against the Grace, cyclone wire fence and the other end is open. to allow access. I very much doubt...

It's all on again in 2014 !!! Nowra is the first race day of the NSW Pylon 2014 series, It's a chance to get in on the ground floor and begin at the start of the year. It would be great...

A couple of brackets cut and a little more welding It's got a roof now

How right that turned out to be Wayne :) We managed to do a bit of building today instead. Some EF1 repairs and a bit more on the cage for the willows cup

It will probably be ok today if it doesn't rain any more Or hasn't rained heavily during the night

We havn't had much rain here at the top of the hill at what used to be old Toongabbie, just enough to make the lawn damp, that's all

Here's some more pics of it going together at lunch time. Having a little ride on the crain Sitting on some bricks holding up the front mesh pannel A RearBear's view, ie from outside ...

G’day all, just a quick warning that there is a European Wasp’s nest near the back of the facroty units (see map) Please be careful if you happen to be in this area. European wasps are highly ag...

Really we probably could get away with out having a cage as where it will be is outside the 50m line from the course.............just. But none the less we need a flat surface to put the chairs on and...

Well done! Congratulations Chris !!

Good stuff looks like it might need the usual painting with west resin in the usual places, landing gear attaching points, motor mount plate /fire wall and where the cowel attaches. All good things to...

I went allong last night, It was the first indoor night that I've been to. It was great to see some different and very intersting models being flown Good fun !!

That is AWSOME Mick !! You really know you've built something light when the lightest mist of paint is over 25% of the all up weight !!!! That is very IMPRESSIVE !! Good luck with the test...

That's beautifull Mick Nice work mate !! I'd be interested to know how much that mist of paint adds to the weight of it.

Here's a link to those parrellel charging boards I mentioned earlier http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14856__Hobbyking_Parallel_charging_Board_for_6_packs_2_6S_XT_60_.html and one for the ...

Oh Wow !! Super NICE towelly Did you have to steam those stringers on the top front section of the fuse to get that bend radius? Keep the pics comming mate That is looking great !!

I have one of those Make sure you check the tail plane incidence before you fly it Mine was way out. It's a heavy bird and although it's not hard to fly it'll need a bit of strip to land Good luck wi...

It was a really nice day a the field I had a great time, managed to get in some pylon practice as well as a bit of sport flying and a few flights on the buddy lead as well AWSOME !!

I'll be down for a little while in about half an hour I'll also be at the field tomorrow for most of the morning

Some work on the judges cage for the willow cup Timber cut to size The first panel goes together [hr] The front panel

Wow that was pretty impressive !! Wonder how you'd go applying for CASA aproval to do that? The pilot had to use quite a bit of aileron to compensate for the imbalance of having the guy out on the...

That looks great !! I see there's been no dumped rubbish since the "video surveillance" sign went up ;)

Well done Micky T !!

Are you working on Sunday ? have to do some Doppler passes and see how quick it is

Absolutely !!

Well done mate!! I'm not surprised at the lipos and motor getting a bit hot That's how race planes are, designed to go flat chat for just 10 laps I guess a reasonable time for 10 laps would be 11...

There's a few instructors here at the field today

Looking good Frank!! Heading to McCoy field today??

you might also mix a little rudder in with ailerons

Nice one Frank!! The alien's head motif is the signature of the guy who designed it. And it looks quite nicely designed from the pics. The ailerons are nicely sized and positioned on the wing, which i...

Have a great Day out there Smuzz !!

I was down there early afternoon and it was pretty good No probs driving in tho there were the usual puddles but it was very flyable
