Nice one Gazz

You'd have to go up in the series cell count if you go low KV but it's also a good way to add usefull weight. might need a HV ESC tho'

Going down to McCoy field for a fly For an hour or so

AWSOME Gazz, nice work with the conversion to electric power!! It will defiantly have some presence in the air!! At nearly 5 1/2 kg it will have a highish stall speed and want to land with some pac...

I did some test flying of my own on tuesday afternoon and Wendsday. I got this little "Thunder tiger" Yak 54 from Hobbies in the hills a few days ago. Mine came with a motor so all I had to do wa...

Nice One Angus !! I've never seen an AS3X equipped model fly tho' I've watched a few videos online Looks like it's a good system and it was a little gusty yesterday I was down at McCoy field and the w...

Sunsky have some good value hi res video goggles Was looking at them today. Best prices I've yet seen

AWSOME!! what size is the payload ?

I had 2 flights this evening test flew the new Yak54 by thundertiger 45" spam Had no trouble taking off or landing with wheels on the strip

Correction it comes with a motor but not an ESC

Just arrived at the field and the weathers predict Theres no one here[hr] The strip is in fine condition much better than yesterday and it will only get better with this sunshine

I noticed that hobbies in the hills have 45" yak 54 by thunder tight for $99 at the moment Looks like a nice little plane. They had a few left when I dropped by yesterday it a built up balsa kit looks...

I hope to be heading down to McCoy field again today for a walk in fy

I will be heading to Mcoy for a walk in flying session

G'day Bazza,

The X-8 is a super impressive airframe. It realy flies nicely!! A great camera platform and with the motor/power set up that Claudio has in it it's got plenty of grunt as well. It's even slipper...

It looks very nice !! Hope to be at the field to see it fly this weekend ??

Sadly I was unable to get to the field on Sunday, and I won't be there this comming weekend either but I should be there the following Saterday morning and hopefully Sunday as well

Some video of slope soaring in South Australia. I could see a few blokes from out club getting right into this type of thing !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BND3PKAzurw[hr...

Just stopped by McCoy field it's definatly flyable but it might be a walk in. Though the track in is almost drivable

4xAA 1500 mAh or there abouts Sony are about the best brand Kellets or hobbies in the hills will have them already made up in a pack with the right plug on them and most lipo chargers will charge them...

I might venture out to Vinyard I think for a fly tomorrow

Happy birthday Owen!!

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

Nice one George !!

We test flew Wingtippers super and cheaper MX2 on Saturday. It flew realy well, required only 3 clicks of trim, 1 of right aileron and two of up elevator. This model certainly wasn't under powered ...

Hmmmmm unlucky ay ??

That MX2 will be such a nice plane. It looks like it's got less tapered wings than the Edge 540 and the Sbach. This should give it nicer slow speed handeling than both of those. At that price ...

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

Happy birthday John !!

I was having a go at flying FPV with the new 3D landscapes I wonder if we can fly lazer combat or bust baloons in that mode ??? :)

I just got one of these for charging at home. have had one at work for a couple of years now and it works great !! So does the new one here at home. Just $37 including postage It can be adjusted up...

Things you do when it's too wet to fly. Spent some time tinkering with Snagit video capture software and flying on Phoenix Soon enough the hours were gone :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0HdatRvyh...

That Cub's going to be a beautie George !! and a good size at about 74" That will be a fantastic flyer !! What Motor and battery set up are you going to use in that ??

there's always the old "Well guess what I won in the club raffle this week" :)

Flying this morning was very pleasant until a bit of a shower put a dampener on things

Thanks guys, I re compiled it using different settings last night just to get the video quality a bit better. Here's the same thing just a little sharper http://www.youtube.com/wa...
