Yep a decent motor and ESC and don't go too heavy on the batteries. Just enough to balance it you don't need great flight duration but you do want light weight. Should be a beautie !!

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...

That is AWSOME !! It must be getting close to finished now ??

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 ...

Merry Christmas all !! It's been a good year and we've achieved a lot despite the weather. A huge thank you to everyone for their efforts especially the guys who do the mowing and to the many guys...

That big cub looks nice!! Do you think he'd take 150 for it ? It's probably a little on the light side but I can't afford any more

This seems like a good opportunity to build something or finish off a few old projects. Put together some of those ARfs tucked away inboxes or repair a damaged machine or two. Post your pictures pl...

Great Video Gazz Good find!! I enjoyed watching that especially the inverted pass by the sea plane That looked Awsome

Looks like a nice machine Gazz From the reviews it needs a little tinkering but the price is right !!

Here's some info on the earlier air cooled engine they made. I think you can buy the plans for it but I reckon it's gonna be a mission in machining !! A real adventure :) http://www.artus-motor.com/...

I'll never look at the neighbors cats the same way again.

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 :(

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

Looks good and it will certainly be interesting to see it fly. It might be worthwhile to add battens to hold the sail/wing full on the leading edge. I think this what they did with some of the ear...

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...

An app that gives the RPM and speed would be very handy and give a quick result, but I do like having the video to look at as well, It just adds some extra information when you have the pictur...

Yes very nice work Mick !! That's going to be a lovely plane when it's finished !!

I had a great afternoons flying today It was cool and there was little wind I couldn't believe that I had the field pretty much to my self

I knew you'd love it !! You can learn a lot from flying these machines !!

I hope to be there earlyish

Ready for paint

There are signs saying motorcycles are prohibited and that large fines can be imposed on those who do ride down there

I hope to be there early

Not sure but I'll pass it on Thanks Arron
