Frank - you mean the thread "Depron for sale" yes?

Starting a log of building my first SRL special - which is also my first plane I put together (I dont count a Trojan that required about 2 screws and plugging a few things in). However a cautionary no...

I do have a HobbyKing one. And when I use that I set it for charging at 1C. The reason I asked is the BNF T28 I got today has a charger with it that only has a plug for the balance port which made ...

Question about chargers...... The batteries I have have a connector that goes to the ESC for flying (XT-60, Deans, etc). There is also a white plug that is used for balancing when charging (as many w...

A package with my name on it happened to arrive today. Inside was.......[hr] In case the pic is too blurry, its a Parkzone T28 BNF. Will put together and hopefully get to try it out when the win...

Another site for the crowd.... http://frontlinehobbies.com.au This is the huge toy/hobby shop in Newcastle - they also sell some RC stuff. Generally their prices are ok, but the thing they don't...

Whilst is is very tempting (as I had some time on samstes one) unfortunately I am not feeling that well today and am having more of a sick day then a day off. Thanks for the offer though. Having said...

Is anyone who is a instructor/able to buddy box free on Wednesday? I have the day off and wouldnt mind some flight time if possible.

I had a talk to Jason about these, and he said to ask Frank (wingtipper) about what engine he used for his Extra. Any suggestions?

I had a fun (and educational!) day today too. * I learnt that mowing the strip with a rare bear is possible, but not advised. * I saw how to make a circuit and land a rare bear with half a prop af...

I went to the dog park opposite the field this afternoon. I saw some very light r... in the general area this afternoon, but it seemed to have entirely missed the field. The ground seemed fine. Im h...

I stand corrected. After trying it, the plane is in one piece. Control horn is back on the rudder. Side panel for the battery area is re-secured. The tail may be slightly out of alignment to the rest ...

Well.... I have to admit I was doubtful, but you all seem confident enough about it - gluing tomorrow morning hopefully in time to fly Sunday.

Really? Hot glue has enough strength? I was worried that something like that would come apart at the first good puff of wind. I have seen the cheapie shops showing glue guns and thought "yes I should ...

I have a question that I was hoping not to have to ask so soon. The blu-baby I have got some damage recently, where it got a nasty knock side on. The damage has caused 2 large cracks in the right h...

Hi, Has anyone here done much in the way of telemetry? I am looking at some stuff online (mostly the EagleTree stuff that I would buy from HobbyKing) but I am wondering if anyone here has any exper...

I went to the dog area opposite the field this afternoon. The wind was gusting quite heavily, and was blowing in a direction that would have been almost coming directly into a pilots back - directly ...

Bump for this thread.... has there been any new news about getting some more power?

Out of curiosity, what is included - better yet, what extra does it need to fly? From what I see, this plane would need battery connectors for the ESC bought and installed, buy a battery, install the...

I agree it would be worth more then 6 beers. When my boss was talking about it I suggested a number closer to $100 (hoping inside that I was aiming high and it would be closer to 70). If thats 6 beer...

An update to this thread..... My boss (who got me into this) has seen the plane and he is very interested in obtaining one. He has asked me to see if there are any more available, and at what price. ...

Sold - although I am unlikely to be at the field this weekend. If it suits you though, I can pick up out of hours?

Question while this thread is open - are these still available? And if so can I order one?

Quote: -- Hi Ben, Did you fly solo on Sunday? -- Did not fly solo. One of the many Steves (samste) buddied with me and let me fly his T-28, for which I have not yet expressed my thanks. Steve - ...

Seeing as I havent got the secret sign-in handshake yet (or I have yet to pay for membership) that post is locked to me. Im going to take a guess though that a comparable idea was considered and then ...

Hi Kev, I have had the grand total of one "proper" flight so far (on Sunday), but had done a fair bit of flying a cheap plane before that. The best way I can explain it is your $30-$100 specials...

I was thinking about this during the afternoon. Is there a pole or something strong and well dug in on the non-retaining wall side of the slope at the top? If there is (or we can put one in), I was...

It was an interesting day - for the hour or so I was there there was sun, cloud, wind, almost rain..... thanks to those who have confirmed I have a flyable plane (after I reattach some bits securely a...

Muchas gracias senor Steve.

Put me down for one please, although I should also note I will be asking around for someone to help with the electrical work. Offers of help gladly accepted.

Hi, Am after at least 1 XT-60 M to Deans F connector and 1 XT-60 F to Deans M connector. Will pay, but wont pay $35 as a hobby shop quoted me for it (most of that cost being cost to break out solde...

Add my name to the list for one please. (I am not a member yet, ask next financial year/2 weeks).

I am curious to know how much they want to devour my sou..... I mean wallet as well.

I know that when people are at the field, they run their LiPo chargers off their car battery - no probs. Does anyone have a power supply they can recommend for 12v for when they are at home? I looked ...

Hate to say, but you're about 2 days late.

Im interested in getting the P47, but I am rather poor presently. If its available the weekend after next (long weekend) I will see what money I have.

Same thing as Kieran offered - I am doing an order to HobbyKing this Monday (28/5). If people want things (and more importantly have the $$$ to pay for them), let me know with the details. So far I wi...

Realise this is an old thread, but is the P47 by any chance still in for selling?

I am thinking of making a Hobbyzone order soon (which will show up in that thread as it happens) but I am trying to work out what to buy first. So far, I figure that to fly a plane, the following i...

Hi, Im only the tiniest bit ahead of you in starting out, but Im going planes not helis. The advice I got (and I suspect will be repeated) is to start with a computer sim. If you havent had any ...

Considering what was swapped, I feel obliged to add this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzcEG_JoVuo

Im figuring that beer is best given on a Saturday morning rather then Sunday (as it can then be drunk Saturday night) - would you be there sometime Saturday morning?

Its a deal if you can throw in some more advice on how to get it flight ready - I can get it Saturday or Sunday morning and will explain what advice I want then (mostly around places to get prop/engin...

Is this still available? I am planning to become a member soonish, and this could be the thing to really get me going.
