Speaking of bringing people, are people planning to fly Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning? I have been away for so long getting used to being a dad - and right now little miss 16 month old goes ...

Not wishing to be picky, but the 30th is a Friday.... do you mean practice on Friday or on Saturday 31st?

Heading down after batteries are charged for what looks to be a good mornings flying - but don't delay, the forecast is for wind to greatly pick up about 1pm.

A while ago I asked a question about putting a rudder back on that had its hinges tear off, and I think it was Claudio who recommend a method where you use 2 pieces of tape to make a hinge of sorts an...

If I had known, I would have pointed out to you the person I got to do that job for me last year. Price? About $70 including parts. Worth it instead of the hassle? You bet.

The budget question came up - under 400 I am thinking. Having tried the UM stryker and having challenges with that disappearing on me, I might want something a little less eager to get the hell out o...

A challenging question for you all. My hangar has 5 planes - 3 of which are ultra-micro (t-28 UM, Beast, Stryker), plus 2 larger trainer style aircraft (parkzone trojan and smuzz's old BluBaby). I ...

Hoping to get down to the field tomorrow, depends if/when my instructor will be there. On a related note, does anyone know if someone rated to assess bronze wing certification will be there tomorrow m...

An update from yesterday - I owe someone an OrangeRX 6ch receiver (which I had at home, but not at the field). Can they remind me so I can repay them.

I will finally be able to make it tomorrow. Will try to arrive a bit after 11 so that my forgotten instructor Steve B has his own time to get there. Ben.

I am in the process of replacing a wing on a UM T28, and as part of that, I need to glue a servo onto a piece of foam, where the servo has no plastic housing. What sort of glue should I use? Will CA o...

One thing I am curious about - in the package HK have, they include a 4S 850mAh battery - I was under the impression for some reason that the rules were for a 1000mAh - can someone confirm?

I didnt go in that far (just to the counter nearest the door), but I didnt see one. The things I saw on special were the SebArt, an EDF jet that looked.... interesting, and some of the Parkzone UMX Hy...

Saw that HitH had a SebArt Katana today for sale - $230. They also had a EDF jet I didnt recognise for sale.

How big is the area? I am interested in going some time, but I worry that I would find the area too tight. Things I would look at flying are my T-28 UM, maybe the beast. I think the UM stryker would b...

I got it for $130 not $110 unfortunately. That was from Frontline hobbies at Newcastle, but I notice that most places around are offering it at that price. If you want it still cheaper, there is ap...

New question..... Is there a sort of filler I can use to cover over foam? I had an accident that managed to take the nose off a plane. I have managed to glue it back on, but the impact compressed the...

Well I thought about and and decided..... the box arrived today.

Saw this link and figured at least some people here would be interested. FPV going a long long way up. http://rcexplorer.se/projects/2013/03/fpv-to-space-and-back/

I took a quick look at the field today. The picture Wayne took on the 2nd is still fairly accurate (a little bit better but not much). I did however notice that there was a pile of rubbish right near...

Hi Jason, What motor and prop are on that plane? Took a quick look through the thread, but you are about the only one who hasnt said what they use.

What size is it? It looks about a foot across in the photos..... Im interested if it is small - can't justify big model space.

I think it is safe to say that there is still demand for several. I know I got the one that I asked for, but I was hoping for another one once the mad rush had eased off a bit.

Hoping to fly Sunday - will be my last day of play before 10 weeks of uni.

Can I ask how long you have had that plane? The reason I ask is apparently the first versions had a lot of "fun" with servos wanting to fail, and some control surfaces apparently not having much throw...

Erm... sort of. If you take the rubber seal out of the lid, the lid itself is still there (which is metal). Taking the rubber seal out means it isn't airtight, but there is still enough protection....

..... it goes 100 miles per hour!

Im thinking the same sort of thing, but the full 6mm stuff. That way it may also help resist damage a little in addition to reducing flex.
