I really like your total disregard for the initial function, carving holes and notches where it suits for your equipment :). I really like building and experimenting. When you work from a known good...

Kieran, I got my APRIL MAS newsletter today and enthusiastically scanned to the Bronze wings awards to see my name in print. Saddened was I to find that there were no entries from PRCAC. Have you...

A good day for the few that braved it. THe wind was blowing but gently and consistenly so flying was fine. THe v. little craft were grounded though. THe loger grass on the runway proved tricky for ...

I'd like to be able to list posts in newest first order when opening a discussion. THe discussions can appear that way when you open a forum but not at the msg level.

Bummer! I'm out of action all Saturday proctoring an exam and we've got guests over Sunday. I was hoping for crappy conditions so I wouldn't be hankering for a fly :(. Have a great time for those...

If I had only grabbed those floats from Kevin, I could be fitting them now ;).

Chris see the private board.

I'm happy to do the soldering if you have a sacrificial offering. Another thought - does anyone have a digital servo with stripped plastic gears they woulsn't mind to donat ratherthan (possibly) kill...

Chris, Unfortunately, digital servos can't be reversed as simply as analog servos. However, they can be re-programmed!!! Check descriptions of some HiTec other products: http://www.helifreak.com...

Are you looking for a superman or astronaut look? How about a backpack - Buzz lightyear? It gives you a reason for having the wings too. :) Now, as for the reason for having the doll?? :paranoid:...

Kieran, It looks like you haven't been flodded by offers to assits. I think this is a great thing that we can cooperate and share the benefits of ordering together (not related to our association wi...

I'd got the kids arranged and all planned up to get a quick flight in this morning but the rain and wind has defeated me. :( We've got another set of Adelaide visitors over next week and so might not...

You tempter!!! No, I'm now at home with two boys wanting dinner and harassing me to get off the computer and do something about it :(.

All repairs complete. I've got a replacement prop for the PT20 and the firewall is epoxied in place. The decathlon has been dragged back into life (sorry Kieran) but I think it only has one more d...

I drove around all day today with my repaired Reach Whirlwind in the boot in the hope that I'd get a window to visit and fly before the wind got up. No flying and I only just made it in timefor the ...

Despite Willy's opinion, it was beautiful at the field today. It turned into a little of an unfortunate day but with some fun for the taking. My 3D Whirlwind Reach foamy got stuck up hig - well ou...

Sorry for killing the Decathlon in a spin dive before any of you gold wingers could get your hands on it :(.

My wife is in bed with a migrane right now so prayers for the weather and a good night's sleep will see me at the field at about 9:00am. :)

Mick, I've played with RC Deks Pilot also. I'd probably rate: 1. RC Desk Pilot 2. Clearview 3. FMS for performance and "real" flyability, but the inverse for availability of models! I strongl...

That's fantastic mick! I'd take the dodgy impression over no impression. I'm using FMS and ClearView coz I'm too cheap to pay for Phoenix.

Kev, I reckon you should hold on to them and wehen the field is a lake, you will be the only one who can fly! If you're really looking to get rid of them, I'll try the same with my PT20 :).

I have a key and normally get there at about 9:00am-ish. I'm not needed today and it sounds like the wind's up. With other family pressures today, I'm grounded this week.

An almost-maiden - I chucked my PT20 back in the air after replacing the scorpion gear with a Turnigy Plush 60 and 3542C (1100kv). At the "recommended" prop, an 11x5 on 3s, the plane struggles to get...

Well, after swapping in a new Plush 60, the plane flew well on the old prop until some magic smike came out of the motor. So now I'm not sure again!!! I've just finished fitting a 35-42C with either ...

So I get up this morning and it is raining :(. Any local weather observations? I've got my new motor in the PT20 and was keen to try it out. I'm going to hold out, hoping it clears. I may not ...

I plan to be there before that and I have a key.

Probably one of them, but where is the shot from?

I've already got a little voice going off n the back of my head saying I spend too mch on plane parts - now you give me more options!?

Mick, That looks like a beatiful job. If the evidence of the dodgy stuff I cut out of depron is any indication, this shoud have no problems flying beautifully. Just make sure that you don't get...

Although it was a small crowd, we had great weather and a freshlymowm strip to play with :). Have fun tomorrow and I'll hopefully see several of you next w/end.

I am planning on coming down, hopefullybefore 9:00. I have a key if the gates aren't open by then.

You didn't happen to bump into my f22 or p51 whilst you were in there did you?

Two weeks ago, I went to take off an discovered a total lack of power from my motor. It sounded more like a sewing machine than a model aircraft motor. I tested a couple of fresh packs and not diffe...

The kids had a v-late night tonight so it'll probably be after 9 before I get there. I'll bring a new foamy and the Aussie dayt lists.

John. Thanks for the photos and video. You got really close to the weeds by the lloks of some of the passes. I think the white spot you picked out further to the right from where I suspected appear...

Don't be too distressed Paul, the application wasn't particularly too scientific and I think the airframe had several other issues also. I'm thinking a significant rearward balance was also induced w...

When down at the field for a re-maiden, the enhanced stabiliser didn't seem to have much effect and the airlerons didn't have much opportunity to make an effect before the wind and other unbalance iss...

My son and I went down to the field today to try the modifications to the PC9. THe field looked good. There's maybe a couple of soft bits but barring big rain, it should be great for the weekend.

I was hoping for a fly on Thursday after a fine day today and hopefully a reasonably fine day tomorrow. It looks like the chances will be slim.

Date: 1 Jan 2011 Conditions: Perfect, newly mown strip. Aircraft: PC-9 profile Depron - scal except for wind chord (800 mm wingspan, about 700ish mm length) Pilot: Drew. As part of a whim for Au...

Happy New Year!!!! We just got home from watching the fireworks @ Woolwich. I'm going to get a bit of a cat nap and then join Gary at the field (It might be a little later than 8:30am tho ;))

I had a chuckle at the end. After suck a pleaseant flight, with such soothing music. I hope you're good to go again without any delays.

It was perfect flying conditions today and we had a great turnout with a range of planes. Special thanks to Kieran for bringing his forms and green pen and also hanging around for my two cursed "last...

I'm saving my brownie points for maybe Wednesday AM.

Father Christmas says that I can buy some RC gear for Christmas. As part of that, I would like to get a couple of 4S batteries for my PT20 balsa plane. What is your opinions on the difference be...

Colin, John and I ventured out for a fly this morning. Unfortunately, none have access to a key so we were operating on a reduced fleet. However, the runway looks excellent! From the top of the hil...

Bummer!!! At least its a nice clean 'cut' and the rest of the sirframe looks good.
