Make sure you put a note on the dodgy ESC so you don't use it on another project !!

Anyone flying at McCoy this afternoon? Post up if you are

It's easy to find, go west along Windsor rd turn right at the McGrath's Hill Pub continue for a little while turn left on to Pittown Bottoms rd continue for a while until you see the orange shed on th...

Don't forget to go over the all the joints and paint the timber up the front of the fuse and around where the Under carage mounts using West systems Epoxy and a paint brush. :) That will toughen...

I was there yesterday arvo and it looked pretty good Should be better today Wind is tracking way below forecast so far this morning Will still be a little breezy tho Good practice I reckon

Just got back from the field. I noticed a few moter bike tracks but it seems they steered clear of the strip and there was no damage or tracks on there at all. Which was nice to see after being a ...

That's MAGIC George !!

It's looking good !!

Ben, I think it is not a good idea to have the ailerons go down in order to improve the slow flying charistics of the T28 The ailerons on the T28 are located out towards the tips of the wings. If y...

It needs some thin ply braces cut to the diheadril angle and joined on to the center spar. they need to extend out to about 3 inches towards the tip from the diheadril joint. The other option is to...

Steve what was the field like today ?

http://youtu.be/KT-g2X_lVtY Looks like a scale model of Kirby chamblis's edge 540 He has 2 in the same scheme one is for aerobatics and the other is his race plane

Very nice Gazz, I hope to see it in the air this arvo if I can get away from work early enough. Sebarts planes are very nicely built machines!! robair Wrote: (19-09-2012, 08:52 PM) -- G'day Gaz...

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 ...

Don't forget it's pylon at Pitt Town weekend after next Practice after lunch on Saturday and race day Sunday!! It will be Fun !!

Those rareBears do make the field a whole lot smaller !! great Fun !!

I reckon the QAV250 is easier to fly FPV than the SK450 main advantage of the SK450 is that it can carry more battery and a bit more weight disadvantage is that it's a lot slower to respond. T...

I thaught I'd add a bit strength to the EPS fuse by bonding on some 20mm wide strips of 1mm ply, one on either side and one along the center on the bottom. This is the only reinforcing I will add ...

Sounds like a great idea and I'd certainly love to be there but sadly duty calls I have to spend another day in the salt mine. Have Fun !!

here's how the fairings came out after being painted in the mould Not too bad but I think it will be better using lacquer rather than enamel so I'm off to get some this afternoon.

Is no one flying today? I thought i might go down to the field with a hand launcher and have a look in about 1/2 an hour

At 8:46 this morning I was up at Newcastle with Dad and a trailer picking up a diesel powered welder/generator to send off to my brother is SA Sadly by the time we got back it was both hot and...

Take it easy Wayne and get well soon!!

Some 1.5mm ply along the bottom to help with the abrasion suffered after many landings and stiffen up the fuse a little. Just held on with HMG

Heres a picture of it fueled up and ready to race at Bendigo

It's getting still I might head down the field for the last bit of the day and watch the sun go down :)

Nice report Dave, couldn't have asked for a better morning weather wise either :)

It needs to swing a bigger prop if you run it on 4S you need to be close to maxing out the ESC at full peg on the ground. It may well draw more current with that same prop on 5S tho' The motor won'...
