It's been reshedualed again, brought a little closer in fact to the 11th of May because Tony J and the timing gear would have been unavailable because the date clashed with Large scale racing in Vict...

I normally use Hot melt glue to put servos in. If U use epoxy I normally add some filler to thicken it a bit. I never use CA I'm allways worried about it wicking into the servo and sticking up...

AWSOME Mick !!Thanks for posting that. Some great shots in that clip You've got to get up early in the morning for free flight !!

This is my Favourite low pass pic It's Kirby Chambliss and his fullsize Edge 540 scairing the birds

Looks like it Nowra will be huge if the weather holds, Claudio and I are going on Saturday, Wingtipper is going to be taking his new Invictus. I'll be taking my RareBears and the Q500s along, Jason ...

What is the condition of the field like?? I'd have thaught it would still be pretty wet going by the antenna range here at work, It's still a bit soggy and it's usualyy dryer than out field

I thought I would start this thread for all the official racing events this year and put them all in the one place. So if it's to do with NSW pylon or Large Scale or Quad racing post it up here!! [...

Hi Greg, Hopefully this weather eases and as soon as it does we'll all be down at McCoy park again. Ironically the very reason we are able to use the land where our field is situated, also...

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 ...

I can vouch for that I was there watching him slogging away

5X6mm for me too if they can fit it in

Good stuff I'll be there probably aroung lunc time or if I'm luchy a little before We'll have to get the pylons set up for a bit of practice !!

Excellent!! Yes my mistake, I thought you were talking about a Skywalker X8 which is quite a large flying wing I quite like the X8 optocopter configuration. And it should be no problem to fly it at ...

Lovely !! That's great news, I hope to get down there tomorrow morning for a little while :)

If the weather's OK I'll probably be there for a while in the morning I'm optimistically charging batteries at the moment :)

I'd go for the T28 by Park zone. Awsome plane!!, there are other makers of the T28 but I think the undercarriage is a bit soft with them, the Park zone one is good and strong in that department. ...

Thanks Steve

only the smallest depron models can get away with out carbon spars or carbon tows to stiffen the wings. Unless possibly, they were built up wings out of depron and made quite thick.
