Symo, Life has been busy, busy at home, busy at work and busy putting this machine together so It can be test flown before the weekend. I'm starting to look at ordering a bulk quantity of red bull to ...

The cowel fits with the muffler on Yay! [hr] [hr] Tank and throttle servo are in plumbing is done

That's Brilliant !! My lochie was just the same in almost every photo I have of him there is an aeroplane in his hand I'd encourage that :)

Well after quiet a while back to this project ;) Hopefully its going to be ready to race in Canbera in the midfle of the month Here's some pics of the frantic effort recently re-undertaken ...

I like hot glue especially for building and repairing depron foamies!! It does a fine job of holding servos into small to medium sized electric models even fast machines like parkjets and rarebears...

Great Vid !! I enjoyed that Nice bit of tender looking venison at the end too ;)

Here's some from my camera It was hard with the wind blowing across the gates I broke a few props today http://youtu.be/n_JyaUepRhs

That's Classic !!!

See you there Wayne Lipos are queuing up for the charger here !!

AWSOME !! I'm glad you got a chance to try the gates out !! I was down there early this morning setting them up so I could a have a few flights before heading back to domestic duties I should ...

Very cool, I've got it set up on my Computer and it's pretty good fun to fly I've been tinkering with antenna's of late. I've been quite happy with my Immersion RC Duo and two 8 turn helicals. ...

Why wasn't it in alt hold mode? It should have been It was probably being flown in manual mode and no fail safes were set Mine will try to RTL if it looses radio but that's no good if it's under the...

I must have just missed you by the time I'd got there the field was deserted and yes there was water covering the usual low patches except for the one that we recently filled there were a couple of bi...

Aaaargh yes I'm on to it :) I've got a bunch of PVC tube cut to length and painted that we can lay out a course with There are a heap of yellow pins in the flight box. I used some masking t...

Sorry Rob he sold it on the weekend.

The Taranis is a great TX but it's not the easiest thing to programme to work with a particular model. What it lacks in ease of use it makes up for 5 fold in flexibility and versatility Any way ...

Has anyone been down t the field today? I wonder how much water it got last night???

Here's a couple of fast laps from late Sunday afternoon, This was so much fun !! Need to get some more PVC pipe for a few more gates if anyone has some pool noodles spare that would be handy too, bu...

Thanks GarricK !! You'll have to bring your machine down to the field There is getting to be quite a collection of FPV racing quads down there I counted about 10 being built and already flying. we ...

Congratulations to Andre who passed the gold wings test this weekend !!!

Very cool, Looks like you've got it flying great !! I don't know that I'd get away with flying in the kitchen !! Was there any paint missing from the walls? [hr] Here's a bit video from Saturda...

It Could use 2200 up to about 4000. you'd want 30C in the 2200 but 20C in 3000 or 4000 would be fine. They are a little harder to fly when they are heavier tho' By way of an example, I use a 5200 10...

still on the subject of FPV gear but shifting to ground station recording. Why would you want ground station recording? After all it's pretty lousy quality compared to even the cheap HD action cams l...

Thanks for that Bob !! Looks like a nice set up I might give one a go one day

Not sure but I'll pass it on Thanks Arron

Here's a nice little unit, just about ready to go, all you need to do is add RX and Lipo pack. It's currently set up for 3s. With nicely balanced 11" carbon props, NTN 28-30 800Kv motors and 20A Afr...

Oh yes !! What a top days racing Sunday was!! Jag managed to crack the 70 second barrier twice in F400. That's not far short of an average of 300 Klicks over the 5km course. It was a display of blist...

Cool Good work I'll have to give that one a try as well Do you thing it's better than FPV freerider ?

I'm using the micro HK pilot which is a shrunken clone of the APM It works very very nicely and even if there was no software updates I wouldn't be disappointed it doesn't really need them as far as ...

I'd get one of these so you can use the Taranis's built in telemetry to let you know when the lipos are getting low with voice alerts. It works really well and you don't end up caining your batteries ...

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...

You'll get a surprise when you get to the field tomorrow. The road going in has been graded and dressed. It looks really good!!

Hey Bob thanks for posting that The antenna he's using doesn't look all that flash but I like the tracker The APM flight controller can be used as an antenna tracker controller. It wouldn't be that...

It's on again Pylon Racing at Pittown Come along and have a fly and see what pylon is all about on Saturday afternoon Come and have a go at Racing on Sunday!! New pilots are always welcome and the...

I must say that the ImersionRC duo V4.1 is a really nice piece of kit !! I received my one last week and noticed a definite improvement over the system I was using before. This 2 way diversity ...

I should be there mid morning for a bit FPV testing

He'd be using the good stuff Kev, Looking at some of the photos and video of them racing from that ABC article. It appears they are using ImersionRC 5.8 duo receivers and a range of different antenna'...

I would go for the Aomway patch Antenna at around $15AU what a bargain

Hi Simon, I'm not sure how you'll go with that particular helical from bang good. I had one and it worked about as good as a clover leaf perhaps a little better but only in the direction it was pointi...

The Carpark is difficult to do even a lap of let alone any sort of a time

Claudio and I found this, and it's a lot of fun for only $USD 5.00 you can get a lot of crashes out of the way before you even fly It works with the pirate Phoenix USB dongle from deals extreme and p...

I havn't been down to have a look ..............but I suspect it will be a walk in only day tomorrow.

How does it compare in price to the HK clone of the APM master set at around $177 for the controller GPS OSD telemetry transceivers, distribution board BEC and power monitor and cables? I couldn't...

That looks like a nice machine certainly some impressive flying in that video too!!! The good thing about these machines, small quads in general is, that they are pretty durable well even more than t...
