Thanks for posting those Gazz

Don't forget to go over the all the joints and paint the timber up the front of the fuse and around where the Under carage mounts using West systems Epoxy and a paint brush. :) That will toughen...

I usually zap the wire into the crimped tubes for a little extra secutity. I've never had one one loose. The wires need a bit of tension. you should only feel the backlash of the servo when you mo...

We certainly were Gazz, Looking at those photos It might be a good time to test fly the float plane !! That would give the missus another reason to question my sanity :)

Hopefully it won't tak too long to dry out

Looks Great !! If you want to toughen up the wings then you can add some fiber tape top and bottom I did this to my fun jet and that fairly slipps along. It also has no spar in the wings.

You guys are AWSOME !! Well done !!

Very nice, The mustangs I've seen all seem to fly very well I think this will be superb! Can't wait to see it on the air !!

I would use west epoxy and filler, mix it thick so it doesn't drool out of the joint while it's curing. Five min or 30 min epoxy probably will drool on you. You can use the same filler with ...

Some more pics of the fuse going together. It's only a small model about the size of a Rarebear only slipperier Chain drilling the hole in the former sheeting the fuse

That link with all the motor specs that you posted gave data for a number of speed 400 motors, all seemed to be producing around 100 W and drawing around 10A. I think you'd be pushing them a lit...

I'd be inclined to go for these, heaps of torque for the job, nice and fast, super reliable and only $2 more than the other ones. Not only that they are only 2/3 of the weight you'll be saving 2 ...

I like the red colour sceme !! I think your going to really like this one Wayne

hey that looks good. I've got the earlier Turnigy 9 channel radio and I'm using it with an FRsky module and I've been very happy with it.

A quick bit of video of some practice flights around the course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEj-ODeogwg

I got one of these quite a while ago and started doing a bit od work on putting it together, now That Yak no 2 is sorted out I thaught I might continue with this one. It's quite a nicely ma...

Some Video of Wayne's Eflight Pulse in action, from last weekend It might take an hour to become available It;s just uploading to You tube as I type this http://youtu.be/BaaWuPG_WTo

I won't be at the field today, my eldest son Riley isn't very well

Excellent Rob, Bring it down for some practice laps!!

Awsome guys !! Do you think we might be able to tempt Omuzz back from retirement??

On Sunday the 17th of March there will be something different at PRCAC’s McCoy field. We have been very fortunate in securing the support of the NSW Pylon association to hold an introduction to Electr...

Sounds like a great idea and I'd certainly love to be there but sadly duty calls I have to spend another day in the salt mine. Have Fun !!

That is a legondary effort Steve well done !!!

Perhaps a sign that says something like "No dumping this area is under video survailance". might act as a deterant.

Did you get a chance to have a look Steve? I came down hard at my place, but not for very long.

I got the chance to do a bit flying with it today. There were two videos of it flying but the first one must have had a malfunction 'cause it was only 15 seconds long. The one Wayne took got the ...

Heading down to the field now

I understand fully your point of view Wayne, and in a sence we are saying the same thing. If you look at the Martin Bryant Tradigity that guy was obviously out of his tree to start with, I mean ...

Just my personal opinions I think the best thing to do would be to get rid of all the loonies 'caue they are ultimatly the ones that cause all the trouble. Hey didn't some bloke with a funny...

Kev, Here's a link to the original plan or pretty close to it. Should give a bit of an idea on how it goes together. Just think about the order you put things together in and it's no problem at al...

Beautie!! I'll be calling in for a look an the way home Hope fully they've got some more done by then too !! AWSOME !!!!!!

Some 1.5mm ply along the bottom to help with the abrasion suffered after many landings and stiffen up the fuse a little. Just held on with HMG
