So Jason... What type of launching attachment do you have on the bottom of your aircraft to attach to you launcher?

Looking forward to getting a little air time with your launcher Jason, I have been a little hesitant about using my Skyfun since Steve almost decapitated his fingers and he is/was the pusher prop laun...

Next time you need access to the field in the afternoon Jason. Give me a ring mate! I drive past the field almost every day at about 3.20 and could have opened up for you.

Thanks for the physics lesson Leonardo, I already knew that. My electrical flying philosophy is a little different to yours, and I suppose thats a good think because we both look at power consumption ...

Buy a PC 21 Steve. Then we can do the claton Roulettes thing. The Red and White looks smart, not a big fan of the yellow and black, dont buy the Blue and White one though, because if you do we will pr...

Big effort Steve. Thanks for the effort. See Steve..... if the friggin rain stays away, you might see the DW ....THIS weekend. I dont want you have to wait forever to see one of the coolest planes in...

Let me know if you want a hand on Friday Steve. I can take my mower to work in the van and meet you there from 3.30 on.

I agree with your comparisons Jason, but he is currently drawing way to much current with the 13 x 6, so some field tests with a variety of props may be necessary to get the performance Frank is after...

That looks sweet as Kev, looking forward to seeing that tear up the sky.

If that is my old Katana then I would suggest that the motor is to small. I was running 6S 5000 mAh 20C with a Hacker A50-14S at 425 Kv it would come down after 7 to 8 minutes with a warm to hot motor...

Flying the big Seb at McCoy will depend on how well the field dries this week. As you said.......Fingers crossed!

In this hobby........... thats a good ethic to start with.

Very, very good chance you will see it at McCoy next weekend Claudio, you could land this thing on a postage stamp. The only other thing I can say (and Darren and Kev will agree) is, if you ever do a...

Looks nice Steve You really cant argue with that for value for money.

Maiden Flight: Seb Art Sukhoi 140 Weather at Penrith: 25'C Blue sky 5 knot Westerly. Carried out a range test and all was OK. Plugged in the 10S 5000 battery with a loud crack (which is good) Throttle...

I am heading out to Penrith now if anyone would like to join me!

A little under 100 meters

For those of you that asked to be notified. "Consider yourself notified". I am planning on maidening my Seb Art Sukhoi 140 tomorrow at Penrith, not to mention a few laps with the mighty DW. Hope to s...

I will be going to Penrith tomorrow if the weather conditions remain this good. I will post in the morning just before leaving, which will be about 8 am.

I joined Dave and Kev this morning, needed to get some circuits in. The strip is definatley ok and is probably almost firm enough to mow. it is not ready for large aircraft with wheels though. The b...

Hey guys and Dave in particular, you know you were interested in a Deuces Wild, well this one is a bargain. Only problem is its in WA http://www.rctrader.com/category/340/Electric/listings/2027/E-FL...

Im pretty sure this is just wishful thinking, but can anyone give us a condition report on the field.... even if its only dry enough for hand launching ???

Yeh!!!... good try Dave... I have tried to stay impartial during this debate but as you seem intent on indirectly attacking MY radio and talking up your Fu thingy.... you have left me no option but to...

Pylon racers all have a few things in common, they are small wings, very little drag (because they get their lift from speed not aerodynamics) and big power plants. Thats all about all there is to it...

Crosswind, crosswind... what crosswind? Unless the footage of the landings was shot on a different day at a different location, all the other photography showed what appeared to be almost perfect cond...

Sounds like a magic deal Jonathan.. I think both systems have pro's and con's. I have even thought about changing over to Futaba once or twice. But I have stayed with spectrum ( I use a JR11X Zero) b...

I've been thinking about getting one of these Steve, but how big is the ESC and where the hell do the wings plug in . Will I need to get a heavy model licence for the sucker??? :D:D:D:D:D:D

The Futaba radio's are arguably the the best on the market, their receivers however are a lot more expensive than the Spectrums and if you get hooked on the hobby then you will be spending a lot more ...

Hi Angus Looks great mate. On the servos issue, if you need a servo reverser I have 3 of them that I bought for a project that I dont need. If you would like one let me know, they are pretty small an...

Whats really cool about flying at that almost non existant altitude........................................................................................................................................

Thanks Paul Didn't think of that option, but it is a good one. I will look into it. Cheers Gazz

Hi Jason or anyone else that can help. The canopy off my Seb Art Sukhoi decieded to part company with the aircraft last weekend, after spending over 2 hours in the bull rushes, it could not be found....

The Yak is not an aircraft that I would recommend at a trainer, there is no dihedral (angle) built into the wings because it is built for the more advanced pilot. Thet means they dont really have any ...

Well said Steve, I have been flying the T28 for many years and trainered a number of people from beginner to good solid pilot with this aircraft. I actually learnt to fly on one. If you what an aircr...

You've hit the nail on the head there Johnathan. Purchasing the DX 8 is a smart more as it saves you having to spend more money further down the track as your experience improves. The DX8 also has bet...

Didn't think of it that way Dave, I was referring to the fact that most HK aircraft packages are usually way underpowered and if Claudio wants to dabble in a little bit of decent 3D he would need to p...

Don't sell yourself short Claudio, we dont think you are too precious........ mate! You will probably be pleasantly surprised with the HK's performance... but....ffs!! just make sure you give the thi...

No Victor.... my canopy is still MIA, but a big thank you to all those who helped me TRY to find the elusive prick of a thing. Spending more than 2 hours in those bull rushes is not the sort of exerci...

I will be flying Sunday this weekend and will have the sample hats for fitting if any club members are interested in purchasing one. They are 100% UV stabalised synthetic and are similar in design to ...

Hi Guys Just stumbled accross this on E Bay while looking at E flite stuff. If anyone is thinking about retrofitting their T28 with an Eflite Power 15 this motor mount is definatley the goods. http...

Thanks for the update men, but all of the aircraft I need to fly are big suckers and having to carry anything anywhere is not on my list of really fun things to do.... I have spent the last week and a...

Can anyone tell me how the field is? Can you drive in and what sort of condition is the strip in? Hoping to get some air time tomorrow. Finally finished moving house today, thank god!!!! and am suffe...

I actually bought the Nimbus and the Cirrus, the Nimbus destroyed itself on its first and only take off, the bungee dragged it into the ground at about 1000mph (well thats what it seemed like) The Ci...

Yeh! ... Right! ..... Good luck with that Steve, you want some friendly advice............................................................................... Wear a pair of waders

Hi Paul You are welcome to come down to the field any weekend we are flying (if the bloody rain ever stops). and introduce yorself. We require all perspective club members to visit regularly to get t...

Yeh !!!! Not bad !!!!!

Im in the middle of packing to move house mate, but I will try to get you a few pics. You are more than welcome to drop by my place and have a look if you like. Gazz

Is it only one or allof them. Servo chatter is usually caused by the servo's internals Kev, could be the wire from the receiver or the connections, swap the servos around and see if the chatter stays ...

Frank. Here is the link to the build manual for the Seb Art Katana 50E http://www.sebart.it/download/Katana%20S%2050E%20V.2%20-%20MANUAL%20INTRO.pdf You will notice the prop recommended is 16 x...
