I'll be there early See you there

Here's a bit of video I took last weekend. You can see the camera mount works pretty well there's not a lot of vibration issues with the image quality. (set to 720p and full screen fort he best view) ...

Hi matt, There will certainly be people flying on Australia day, best to get to the field earlyish, around 9 I'd think. See you there !!

There's certainly enough room in the market for Australian online dealers to get amongst it. especially if they're prepared to go OS and bargain with the manufacturers and organise shipping, customs ...

Yes we have an on going dialogue with council about this and other matters, It may also be the electricity guys who have nothing to do with council and have their own keys to access McCoy basin and ...

G'day Bob, The pack I'm using is 3S, My motors are around 800Kv so 3S is the best with a larger prop. I could go 4S and spin small props faster. I think it would be easier to tune but the flight time ...

Wow that looks super nice !! Well done !!

Thanks Berny, It's been a lot of fun tinkering with these machines :)

Oh well lets hope it dries up a bit soon :-I

I've been putting together another SK450 with a HK Mega 2.7 controller. This is the clone of the Ardu-pilot that HK sells for an astoundingly low price http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__56052_...

I've just about got it sorted, with the KK2 board I got some of the new very light High capacity Low C rate Lipos. I managed to find a 3S 5200 pack that only weighs about 330g and I'm happily getting ...

It will work with the Taranis

I'll take the red ugly stick .................bugger I didn't see the not at the bottom saying it's all gone

Good stuff Wayne thanks for opening up !! Have a great day, just from looking out the window here at work, it looks nice and still and not too hot yet

It will work with the Taranis, no probs at all The output will be pretty much the same as long as you make sure you set the radio up in PPM mode you'll be fine. Hope this helps

With a little work we could probably get it to aim one of those tennis ball launchers, one that can simulate a really hot serve. Would make the mowing a lot more interesting !!

I have a turnigy 9x with an FRsky module and I raced pylon with it for 2 years no problem at all until I got a glitch or two with it while flying. This I think, is probably the RF Module playing up b...

A very nice day for it !! Have a good one !! :)

It was also using a lot of power with the 8" props and duration was suffering badly So I decided to go to 10" carbon props and with these nicely balanced the duration dramatically improved but the han...

If you order one of these order a bunch of spare props while your at it The plastic props that come with it don't last vey long. It came with two sets an 8" set and a 10" set these plastic props...

I like the idea of a white line I find it makes landing on the strip easier

The first thing I noticed about flying quads is that they are not easy to orientate. A conventional fixed wing model is sometimes hard enough to orientate and it's got a clearly defined front and back...

These things are rather interesting machines!! I'm really new to quad copters and have just been tinkering around with HK's ARF kit version of the SK450. It's the first reasonable sized one I've ev...

Just imagine caining allong with those 4 turbines going and you accidently deployed your chute Vissions of Wylie Coyote come to mind

That Guy is nuts!! Looks like great footage tho !!

Take the Skipper down and walk in by all means, It looks like a nice morning but I fear the strip will still be way to soggy to mow, the wheels will just sink in :(

That is a real shame !!

Has anyone got any pic of that??

It would have been a big pond yesterday evening!! I nearly got washed away on James ruse drive comming home from work!!

Yes no problems, I will get in touch with Bob and try to organise a day to go over and do those tests. Is there anyone else who'd like to come along too? I'm a member over there so I have a key t...

That is a bargain !! and they fly so well !!

Is the lateral balance ok? Id check that first

See you there Wayne, I'll probably have the boys with me tomorrow, so I'll have to keep an eye on them as well

here's a clip from the Kellyville indoor sessions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6PSvAJZ0k

Nice work Steve !! I really like the way you've made those jigs For anyone who hasn't seen one of these fly you really have to get allong to next indoor and have a look. They are just magic !!

I hope to be there earlyish

Just got to the field now With a few packs to dishcharge

Still plenty of time to get a fun fighter or two ready to race !! Don't leave it too late tho'!!
