The thing I like about it is: with the companion software which you can d/load it for free, there is a simulator so you can try out the Taranis's programing system, move the virtual sticks and see t...

3mm ay? I just happen to have a length of 3mm threaded rod on my desk It's yours if you want it ? I can bring it to the field on Saturday edit ...It's booker rod so it's threaded for its whole lengt...

If it's piano wire its pretty tough stuff to cut threads on You'll want to make sure you have a HSS die if it is, Then again it might be just soft wire anyboadies guess??

What size thread is on the rods Wayne? and what length do you need? HK sells various sized threaded push rods

After getting one of these the other day. All I can say is that: The final word, as far as transmitters go, is TARANIS Here's a link describing some of it features.........................

hey Thanx 'tipper :) I've put some legs on the mould to make it a little easier to lay up a few more fuses. They are just cut from 19mm thick ply wood and bonded on the outside of the mould w...

Very good point Wingtipper !! Any plugs that are on old lipo packs should not be de-soldered and re-used !! and any male plugs on ESCs that draw high current should be changed from time to time...

It's race time at Richmond next weekend Come along and get amongst it Even if your not flying it's well worth comming out for an AWSOME days entertainment. If you want to get involved an...

To be honest it will fly with the Cof G up to about 50% but not very nicely that far back. I fly mine with it on or just ahead of the spar say between the wing spar and 10mm forward of the ...

It's time to pencil in Pylon at Richmond on the 22nd, that's not the weekend comming but the one after that. Even if your not flying it's well worth comming out the Richmond Pylon day for a lo...

That's a nice visible colour scheme !! You won't loose that in the air !

Here's some video of flight testing on Sunday. It's going a bit quicker with the moulded fuse not much change from 250 now. I noticed it's more slippery expecially trying to bleed off speed l...

It's gunna go good with over 1000W !! Looking very nice Steve !! I can mould you some nice servo/linkage fairings for it if you like. They can be trimmed to fit just about anything Test flight tomo...

I just fitted the battery, checked the C of G and put it on the scales. Flying weight of the all glass Dynamite is 619g which is not bad considering it is using the heaviest of the Vac bagged wings...

Take it easy Andrew, All the best of luck with the knee Hope it's back to full use soon !!

The elevator servo, A HXT 500 is mounted in a tray inside the fuse just behind the Trailing edge of the wing. 246 The servo is connected to the elevator control horn by a ridged push rod. In the p...

You just need a trailer :) not so much a bigger car

For wire cutting foam I just use a bow made with a peice of PVC pipe and string it with some steel mig wire. I connect the power using aligator clips straight on to the wire. 12 V of course a met...

This is the speed controller I used. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=20556 I chose it because it fits nicely, because it has a decent heat sink, it's reasonably...

Excellent, Sorry You had to under go a bit of a mission to find the place. Just measure up and let me know how long you want it and I'll catch you at the field to grab the Al bar :)

Hey that loooks really nice !! It should fly well at that weight too. Love how the canopy opens, You'll have to bring it down to McCoy field before it rains again The field is looking AWSOME and ...

I had 4 flights with it on Sunday and it flew really well. It's hard to say if it's going faster, I didn't get any video of it to do a Doppler shift analysis. It takes a few flights to get one of thes...

It's ready to go tipping the scales @ 432g with No batteries and 587g with 4S 1300 45-90 nanotechs. Hopefully it flies well, I've expended all of my Graupner props for it. But I've got a a couple ...

A slight diversion from the new Dynamite. I fitted a new wing to the old Dynamite fusealage, which has been repaired and checked over and looks servicable once again. The main damage to it was th...

Wow George That's looking Great !! Nice Job Where did you get the blue foam from ??

Since everything is set up off the wing, or more precisely, from the cord line of the wing. I reckon it'd be best to put the wing in place, on the fuse, first. So it's some cling wrap do...

Here’s the motor mount bulkhead bolted on to the Aluminium rod. I had to turn the rod down a bit so I could get it in and out of the fuselage without unbolting the motor mount bulkhead every time. ...

Claudio Put me on to this machine, I'd been admiring his one for a while, it certainly looked like a realy nice flying model. I didn't realise just how nice it was until Claudio gave me...

You did well Pete !! Once you got into the groove, there were a few Laps that looked real nice !! Wingtipper better pull his finger out or you'll be giving him some curry ;) Shame about the pla...

Yep Gazz is right either 3/8 or 10mm Aluminum machine bar or T6061 will do. 7000 series Aluninum bar is OK too you just don't want the soft gooey stuff that doesn't machine well. Machine bar is the...

Good Luck guys, It will be interesting to see how the water based resins go. I'll be watching with much interest. I've seen some of the covering that Gaz and Samste Have done with Cabot's and it lo...

That sounds like a good idea with the Laser pointers. You'll have to take care making the jigs but once you have them you'll get the use from them

I’ve been doing some work on getting the new fuse ready. These NTM 28-30-3000 motors are pretty grunty little units, The specs say they are rated at 755W and I reckon that, seeing how hard...

Here's the former that that connects and aligns the wing to the fuselage. It's really easy to get this to line up spot on. You just have to follow the steps. clamp and drill the two plywo...

If you measure up the length from the surface the prop sits on to the fire wall and bring the motor and the motor backing plate with you, I can turn you up some spacers.

I opened the mould this morning, It didn’t take much effort at all. That PVA works pretty well, stayed with the fuse and let go of the waxed mould very nicely. Here’s a pick of the freshly op...

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 !!
