I won't be at the field this weekend, I'll be pylon racing at Pitt Town YEeeeeee HAAAAaaaaaaaaa :)

Very Cool That is pretty hard core !!

G'day Russell, Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy flying RC and it won't take you long to get into. If you can, get Pheonix flight sim and spend a bit of time on that...

Did a bit more testing with the Prototype on the weekend. With Claudio expertly manning the camera I was able to use some of the video to get a Doppler measurement of the speed with the new Graupner ...

Here’s the fuse plug all waxed up ready to go. I was going to spray it with PVA on the rotating jig and redo the parting board. Then I thought just a minuet I have already made the parting boar...

Gazz, The Sundowner that's legal for EF1 is this one from Hanger 9 It the "Sundowner 36 ARF" It needs to have the right motor in it too below that is a list of approved motors http...

Here's some pics of the Damage to The Dynamite. It shows the enormous strength of this type of construction. Looking at this I can understand why the wing doesn't ever flex in those tight turns...

I'm heading to the filed right now :) See you there !!!

And here it is just out of the bag with the plastic sheet peeled off this morning. It's also the lightest one yet

I put another wing in the bag early this morning, one more to go and I've run out of cores. The next lot I cut I might make the wing span slightly more perhaps another 1.5 inches. Here's a...

Thanks Gazz, I see he has, the one I used, listed as well !! :)

Graupner props were from here, http://www.electricwingman.com/power/propellers.aspx If your going to order some let me know and I'll grab a few as well and split the postage with you. They...

I personally like the viper Jet. It just looks like it has a longer tail moment and a slipperier fuse and wing. I think it would be the better flier of the two. Just depends what you like i...

I'm just loading up the car should be there in about 35 mins

I'll be down for an early start in the morning !! probably stay all day if I can :) :) :D !!

That is also good advice. I might just try that my self !! Thanks Claudio !!

Ef1 would be a good class to get into, there's not a lot of people flying it. If you have everything prepared and be consistent it wouldn't be too difficult for a new comer to win an EF1 day. ...

Excellent good to see you got it sorted, I had a look here at work, we have quite a few pullers !! ..........................................................................But there were ...

What size prop are you running on that Frank and how heavy is it? You might be able to use a softer start on the ESC. A lighter prop might be the answer as well, probably a better one if you can g...

Thanks Gazz, Here's a couple of pics I took of it this morning after it came out of the bag. This idea of painting in the mould is Just great !! It comes out so nic...

Interesting Gazz, There must be spares for it somewhere, Those FMS props look pretty similar I'm sure that one of them would probably fly it just as good as the original. If it's the scale look t...

What a sensational Day's racing !! Couldn't have asked for much better The PRCAC guys managed to give a good account of our selves With Claudio, I think, taking out second in EF1 which mig...

I had 6 flights with the Dynamite prototype today, It was going very well, Steve H, Adrian and I were racing three similar models around the sky and having a lot of fun. Steve’s Bandit, The Dynami...

The fuse plug is almost ready for waxing it just needs a little more work with 800 grit and it's good to go. I decided to make a quick, easy and much better way to hold the fuse plug while ...

You might try contacting these people and asking the dimentions of the 4 blade props they sell You never know you might get lucky http://www.hobby-paradise.com/en/product/item/376/product_deta...

Awesome stuff, That's what some people call real aero-modelling.

I made up the 4 moulds yesterday evening using the 3 plugs pictured in my last post and the plug for the front Hatch, I have already made a mould for that but the finish on it is not so great so ...

I'll be there !! Looks like the weather's going to be good too !! As SRL says come along and support our guys and wave the PRCAC flag !! It’ll be a great day of flying, fantastic fun and ...

Nice one george !! The landing was AWSOME !! It looks great in the air. Bigger planes do fly better !!

"Pitt Town II" is comming up on the 3rd and 4th of August !! I'm looking very much forward to it after the wash out of "Pitt Town I" and even more so after the following race day "Nowra II" was als...

Finally a chance to test out the prototype with aileron servo and linkage fairings in place. Managed to squeese a little more speed out of it with Doppler analysis of speed on the second last pass ...

That's MAGIC George !!

I'm heading down to the field for a day flying very soon Just got about a 30 min mod to do to my Edge 540 hopefully by then the liops will be charged as well

Thanks 'tipper :) Here are the plugs for the wing center fairing and the left & right servo fairings. The servo fairings on the the proto type were made by assembeling two seperate fairings togeth...

And here is the last one just out of the bag. I havn't weighed it yet. How long does it take to make a wing like this ??? I worked out that once a few things are in place It's not dif...

I took the prototype for a fly today. I thought I would try a new Graupner 4.7x4.7 prop and see how it went. Unfortunately I only managed to get one flight as I landed badly, a foot short of...

Good luck with it George !! It'll go well I'm sure

I'm guessing that Wingtipper's lipos are a fair bit lighter than the ones your using Gazz but his motor is heavier. I think he's using 12S 3000s

5.180 Kg is really pretty good as far as weight goes My Yak 55 M from Super and cheaper is about the same You'll notice it flies really well at that weight !!

Good Stuff mate !! So it's pretty much a certainty that it was the switch you got from Jaycar that caused it to go of the air?? Well done in finding the cause ! Shame it cost you a very nic...

Very Nice Gazz. It looks great !! Reckon it will fly like a beautie as well All the very best for the test flight mate !!
