Moving house, so should get rid of some things that have only been gathering dust. * SRL Extra kit. Only things done are taking pieces out of the depron sheets and gluing in a carbon spar on the wi...

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/

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...

Hi all, I have been looking at a UMX Carbon Cub as something I can fly during my work lunch breaks (Its under 100 grams flying weight, and is thus exempt from CASA reg's). Theres a pair of sport fi...

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...

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

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...

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 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...

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...

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

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 ...

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...

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.

Joining up, but may not be for a few weeks (Im poor already.....this does not bode well) EDIT: Looking at the application forms for new member and associate member, they appear to be identical. Am ...

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...

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...

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

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.

Update on build...... Put an order through last night for a bunch of bits and pieces from HobbyKing, which included HXT900s, some CA, some strip spar, some wing tape and fibre tape. There were a few...

I have finally organised myself to get a sim and started to play with it. I have three main questions. 1. So far I am having difficulty landing. This difficulty comes in two parts. First I have so ...

One other thing - is it considered bad form if I find it much easier to turn the plane by doing an Immelmann or a half Cuban? For the record for those who have asked, yes I am using Phoenix.

One other thing.... are props really as easy to break as the sim implies? Currently it seems if I land at all tilted forward its an instant prop loss. Which is making landing a little harder as I am o...

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

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...

I remember a while ago (probably last year) seeing someone who was setting up a stryker ultra micro for a maiden flight. Im thinking of getting one - do people here have any thoughts? To fill you i...

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

Hi, Took a look at Hobbies in the Hills today, and came away with 3 options for getting a sim to practice on before I get a plane. 1. Buy an el cheapo USB special from ebay and learn on that wit...

I have 2 new questions now....... A few of the replies have touched on physics. When you mean physics are you talking about physics of flight in general or models in particular? Is it a case that FMS...

Well the plane I want to get to one day is 12 channel - its this one. http://sydneyrcjets.com.au/electric-fighter-rc-jets-70mm-edf-jets-c-8_12/12ch-lx-f18-super-hornet-twin-vector-thrust-rc-edf-jet...

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

Just wondering who is planning to go to Blacktown? Its in 3 weeks, but last I looked at the pictures for McCoy and the weather forecast, it could very well be the next chance to fly this side of PEMAC...

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 ...

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...

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.

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

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...

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?

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

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

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.

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. ...

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...

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...
