Nice one EasySimes It was a fun day !!

Wow impressive stuff There will be more and more use of UAVs here too The list of applications is almost endless

I see the HK Rare Bear is on sale at the Aus warehouse for $58 That's a bargain !!! here is the link http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=33635 [hr] Have to get ...

I was down there for a little while and the road in was quite dry enough What could be mowed of the strip was really nice and i got a couple of flights in before the little ones got tired of the idea...

I've been looking at the reviews for this machine and it looks like it might have a reasonable FPV camera in it as well. What is the camera like Symo ? Does it have reasonable dynamic range ?

Cool I should be able to come on the 10th

That little machine doesn't look too bad at all especially for the price. You'd be hard pressed to buy the bits for it for that then you'd have to put it all together as well. http://www.banggoo...

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 Wayne Will bring my floaties next time I head down to Nowra pylon day!! Which by the way is coming up soon. Might catch you down there that weekend we usually fly Saterday and Sunday Saterday ...

Invictus EF1 electric Pylon racer ARF on special at HK NSW pylon have a class for these they are good fun to race and an absolute blast to fly They need to be set up Carefull but once set up prope...

Time for some building Only trouble is deciding which project to continue with :)

Excellent !! I'm looking forward to that

Very interesting indeed !! Canards !! Would you start a new thread with some pics please Mick?

I did some flying with a Skywalker X-8 flying wing at Vineyard on Wednesday. We fitted it with an Immersion RC VTX and were able to get perfect reception right out as far as I could see it with a nak...

Dam that is unlucky !!

Excellent !! Hope it dries out enough soon so that I can put some more fill in the big hole at the grace end of the main strip. Did much of what I put there get washed away ?

I have a couple of these and they both do very well I also have the smaller versions with dip switches and they work very well too.

Very cool Thanks for the info guys. The CC3d worked very well with the older version of open pilot. But I will try Librepilot out on the next CC3d I set up. I guess it should be even better ??? !!

What did you think of libre pilot?

I like the controller it seems to be about 20 times better than the KK2 board. The software used to set it up looks pretty nice and there were no funny things except for some reason it didn't like my...

Watch the flying this weekend thread usually people will post there if they are heading down to the field Thanks Chris looking forward to hearing about what you find down there. There will...

I had the pleasure of setting one of these up for a friend yesterday It uses a CC3D flight controller, It was reasonably easy to set up just watch a few tutorials on youtube plug in a mini USB cable m...

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...

If the conditions are right you can get some super lift at McCoy park. When I was there on Saturday I could see the heat haze almost straight out from the pilot area slightly to the right just on the...

I have an orange module that I sometimes use in the Taranis or my JR9XII and I've never had an issue with it. The only time I've had troubles with orange gear has been when someone stepped right ...

Ill be there around 8am

The breeze is picking up But it might die down with the last rays of light I might head down to the field for a bit shortly after 6

I think you've made some very valid points Symo ! I have seen some racing quads with doubled up arms to make them stronger and I gues it would help a bit in toughening them up Impact energy is ...

Merry Christmas Wayne ! Glad to hear things are going well!! Flying fisho Wrote: (23-12-2015, 05:05 PM) -- Greetings from Nowra, wishing all a merry Xmas. Been to Bunnings 3 times a day since...

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...

Hi Bob as Symo has suggested you wont need to gule your Quanum V2 together. Mine is just held together with the sock that it comes with. On modification I've done is to remove the original scre...

Yes the thing is that people just don't understand how easily a tragedy can happen. Something like 250 size racing quads can really do some damage. But then again so can many other things. ...

I would think it would be this Wednesday if it were on ???

Here's some video from Canberra Large scale Air races http://youtu.be/7LpCdhRU6U8

I'm not sure that it would help all that much Separation is probably more important with receive antennas than transmit I've not had any trouble with my video it will go farther than the RC link It...

Thanks Robbo I'll probably have to catch it on YouTube later tho as I'll be working late Here is some video I too at Marulan on the Saturday You can see why it's worth the 2 hour drive to fly there h...

Here's some I took a while back Indoor is a top way to spend the evening!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6PSvAJZ0k and another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoJW7GW-bDc

It doesn't look good in that photo but this hot weather should help things dry up a bit I'd think

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 ...

This is it the last NSW pylon race day for 2015, the deciding round of the championships and an all round good weekend of flying and great company!! Fun fly on Saturday bring anything that fl...

Sadly I won't be able to make it, It's a shame cause it's such a good evening. I have other commitments.

It flew really well and looked impressive in the air!!

Yes as Steve says, that would be a good time to do some testing, the 14th and 15th especially early in the morning before the breeze comes up. There are a few guys that have quite a bit of time up the...

The usual dead stick landing approach Tha paint on the prop is for balance. These APC props are actually pretty good this is where I'd like to be in front of the MSXR's ;)
