I'd love to go and watch the Reno Races. I really enjoyed the Red bull racing in Perth, it's tighter and closer in than the Reno style racing but those unlimeted Reno race planes are much faster !! ...

Guy's I'm amazed !! What a top day!! I must say I had a fantastic time A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it a success!! Great work from the PRCAC guys, It just proves w...

Well It's all on tomorrow, I'll be there extra early probably around 8ish setting things up See you there !! Fly fast, turn left, and don't crash!!

I've got a propper hard hat for you Kizza, I've got one for Claudio as well and another couple spare. There are a few more spare ones in the NSW pylon trailer too.

NEWS FLASH, Rumor has it that Hobby King (the sponsors of FFC class pylon racing) will provide a prize or two to drawn from the pilot enty list !!

Is anyone going to bring a Trojan or similar machine to race other than Smuzz and myself ?? Come on guys there must at least another 10 trojans or similar machines, in flying order, amongst th...

Excellent !! There will be time for a test flight on Satturday and a few laps around the course for practice as well before racing on Sunday.

This is shaping up to be a great event, fingers crossed the weather will hold, the field is drying out nicely so far. I was just talking to Jeremy AKA JAG on the phone, earlier this ...

C'mon Lads surely there must be a few more pilots with suitable planes keen to have a go at racing? All you need is a PZ Trojan or something similar or a HK fun fighter like the Rarebear. Steven W...

If you look closely you'll see some of the usuall suspects ;) http://www.hobbykingracing.com/air-racing/rarebear-class/

It doesnt take long to put together :) should have it sorted by Friday ?? :) I've got a couple of 3S 1300 packs if you want to have a go with those to try it out

Only a month to go untill the Race day, Get those planes sorted, ordered, test flown and some practice in !!

If flies great Wayne !! All it needs is some contrast on either the top or the bottom of the wing to help with orientation. At the moment it's red on the top and red on the bottom!! As you get to thr...

Don't worry too much about the weight, model airplanes are like women they are allowed to be lighter than they actually are ;) I used light servos (HS-5085s) and a lighter battery pac...

Very good point Gazz, You only want to take the minimum off, just enough so that you don't have to force the wings on to the spar. They should go on nice and snug but not tight.

Looking good for Satterday Wayne. Don't be affraid of drawing heaps of current at full peg. With this kind of plane. It all about throttle management. With 6S and the NTM 5050 It will have mor...

Wayne, I should be more clear some times, What I meant by heavy leads was, Leads that carry a fair bit of current. I wasn't aluding to the extra weight. The leads that go between the mot...

It's looking Good Wayne, If the spar is tight I would sand it down a little bit the couple of tho' you'll take off to ease the tightness will have negligable effect on it's strength. I ha...

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...

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 ...

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

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

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...

It's looking nice and light!!
