I'm really going to have to work on those floats for mt PT-20. although, I could use SRL's landing method and just pluck it out of the sky from a hover ;).

For a maiden with so many possibilities for failure, that was exceptional! I hope it was just that you had to make room for the car rather than having to pout your toys away just because your wife ...

Sorry to have missed you Paul. I was on a bit of a timeline yesterday and we were back to back with running about for the whole afternoon! I'm hoping to get to the field before the Christmas do an...

Although the weather was wonderful, it was a disappointing session of flying for me yeaterday. It was my only chance to get to the field for several weeks and I was on a tight time budget. My litt...

I'm hoping it'll be open for 8:30ish 'coz I'm on limited stick time tomorrow. I'll probably carry a couple of small models in if no-one's there.

It has arrived. I will bring the box to the field on Saturday (hoping optomistically for great weather). If you would like it sooner, give me a call and I'll work out a good time to swap.

K, I'm going to put an order for some more carbon fibre rods on the group order page but they can eait to be bundled wit hthe next big packaging order - don't specifically add them unless our order...

Despite it looking like a great morning for flying, I'm busy preparing for my father-in-law coming to stay. Have a great time.

I confirmed this afternoon that the order is in the post. ETA late next week.

I use a surplus household iron for my covering and it works well. Easy to pick up at the nearest reject shop or even bigW - no shipping and no waiting ;). However, those tricky corners are a bit t...

:evil: Annoyingly, I chased them about the order and confirmed that it has got lost. Fortunately, they finaly responded and I have resubmitted the order. I hope you weren't in a rush to finish a bu...

I have HobbyKing White, maybe couple of scraps og solarfilm white and saftey orange ;)

Wow! I had a huge problem with orientation even watching!

My Great Planes PT20 was built similarly with full planking and turned out quite heavy. See Rob's and my other threads about cutting weight from the plane. We both cut out at least half the material...

I'm the same. I only reference the orders for sruff that hasb't come in yet. Once I've pais, I lose interest in the history and I'm moving on to the next order ;).

Steve: 1x3mm+4x6mm+Postage=$42 Paul: 3x6mm+Postage=$27 I have added some spare 3mm and 2mm sheets if you decide you need more. If I don't make it to the field on Saturday, it will be a couple of ...

We could clearly see it when nicholas and I went for a walk befor ewe left. It is here - in the corner :(.

I'm putting the order in on Monday. Last minute to get your requests in.

when there's demand for a dozen sheets or so I'll manage ordering and delivery of another pack of depron. Add your selections from their website to this thread.

Steve, Thanks. The proof of the build will be in the flying. I've had a tentative hover in the lounge room and it feels like it'll be ok. If there's interest for 12 or so sheets, I'll fill up t...

There's an indoor pattern flying session tomorrow so I figured it was time to finish my new Index 3. Nothing spectacular but my first go at pull-pull controls on elevator and rudder.

I'm back in te air with a new Index. At 144g it is still porky compared to some but it has pull-pull control for elevator and rudder and is using my new Sepctrum DZ7 with an orange receiver. I've ...

This is the weather where you build something small and light from all that depron and move inside ;).

I misinterpreted the above comments and after being away for 4 weeks on a road trip to far north Queensland (:)), I was busting to fly so I tripped down to the field. Noone was there but the runway w...

We went down for an explore and an excuse to visit bunnings onthe way home ;). Here's some photos. Unfortunately, although there's plenty of room for the bipe, I never did get around to putting th...

I can make it late Sunday morning/ lunchtime if anyone else is still going to be there.

I've just scored myself a spectrum DX7 :). Unfortunately, I don't have any receivers :(. If you're going to be at the field tomorrow and have a spare that you could lend me for a short period (I'v...

I'm so green at you guys who can pop over during the week. Luckily it's been too windy by the time I get home from work to tempt me to sneak out.

I've got a new toy to laugh at (less than 100W though) if the wind dies down. I'm hoping to get there around 9:00 if the fields likely to be unlocked by then.

The wind was a challenge for the breave few but quite exciting to fly in :). I tried my PT20 with 6S by serialling two 3S 2200 packs. It flew awesome with only a touch of throttle!! I measured the...

Yay! There's your business case for FPV!

You are so asking for it flying over water :). I'm glad to see you had a great time and survived to damage yourself @ Soccer.

Paul, I've got the soldering iron out frequently. I can dab them on but I'm at the field unreliably. If someone else more regular is available they might be a better option.

Not tomorrow but I'm V keen to be there Sunday. Is the meeting still at the field at 10:00am?

Strange craft soon to be vlcocked at 283km/h - sppeds like this can't be natural :D So - you can see the plane fine but what about the trees?!

I hope it goes well. Unfortunately, I won't make it this time around. My Hangar Rat needs wing struts and my index is putting on weight faster than Morgan Spurlock (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt03905...

Well, my weekend improved significantly from last weekend. I went to visit my index-in-a-tree and only found a scrap of depron on the ground. Further inspectino discovered it safely nestled in t...

Paul, 2x 6mm are yours @ $9 each ($1 for shipping + $8 cost each) Aaron, 1x 2mm @ $5 and 1x 3mm @ $6 ($1 shipping each) are yours. Let's get making!!

The Ryde council have a sportsgrounds/ weather notice page which they update regularly. All non-essential soccer games in the Ryde/Hornsby are are off this weekend too. EDIT: From the Parramatta c...

I have the foam. If I don't see you this weekend, I can bring it to the AGM next Sunday. Paul, are you wanting any?

Paul, I've got a some sheets each of 2, 3 or 6mm foam (more of 3). Drew.

The order is in. I have some spare sheets if anyone is interested but didn't say so.

As I've just stuck my Index up a tree, I'll be placing this order in the next couple of days.

Well, I had a pretty cruddy flying weekend. I had planned to be at the field on Saturday but that just didn't work out. So, this afternoon, when all was quite, I suggested a trip down to the local p...

I've just finished my Hangar Rat tonight. A little forward on balance if the tiny glides are anything to go on but I'm just now waiting for some rubber to power it. Everything is competition l...

After having the F22 at the field the other day, I've swapped the 2805 to a 2822 and a 7" prop. This makes a heap of difference but a control rod came unglued on one of the elevons and the result was...

Yes, I used this for my biplane and parts of my initial Index build. My issue with it is thelong drying times. At the moment, I'm experimenting with KwikGrip Extra. It claims to be foam safe and as...

I'll leave it a couple of weeks before I order to let people warm-up to the idea :). A good pick for glue is the UHUPOR glue @ $8 pertube. An alternative is a Selleys glue - see srl for details.

I had the raptor down at the filed today and discovered 3s is essential - probably a bit more grunt would be great too. Here's a couple of pics of its earlier "landings".

I'm planning to order some more depron as I've built myself out of the original order and I've over-bent my Index 3 already :(. Depron Australia have 2, 3 and 6mm sheets and include up to 20 sheet...
