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...

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...

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 ...

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/

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Has anyone though of or tried setting up the T-28 to use the ailerons as flaps (flaperons)? My thoughts were around making the approach slower for landing (yes I accept its slow already but it gives a...

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.

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

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.

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

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 ...

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...

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

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

Does someone want to organise it so that members can purchase a pre-modded power supply? Looking at the mods required I would have thought $20 would cover the odds and ends required, and could be adde...

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

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

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?

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.

Muchas gracias senor Steve.

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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....

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

I can answer that as I got one at that price too - it was $399. Was til they ran out (not sure if/when that happened). If they are out, I also saw one from ModelFlight that was $499, but included some...
