Congratulations to Steve Chin who passed his Bronze Wings today. Unfortunately his little Fly cat met its demise while Steve was attempting to carry out a dead stick. Dead stick really meant dead st...

No probs John, I will give you a set when I see you next... maybe this weekend.

I'm happy to test you on anything mate. To answer your earlier question on the multiple aircraft requirement it says 4 flights consecutive flights. The flights may be done on 2 separate days. So you ...

You aren't a student anymore Wayne, and haven't been for quite some time!

The trick to making life easy for yourself when sitting your Gold wings is to fly an aircraft that is rock solid in the air with neutral behavioral characteristics, a good sports plane will always be ...

Congratulations Frank (Rogers) Some very smooth, well controlled flying and very precise stick work saw Frank awarded his Gold Wings today. Well done.

Of course you can Arron, all you have to do is demonstrate that you are in control of the aircraft and that is is not in control of you. Pass an examination and voila, you have your Bronze wings. Her...

Thanks for your support guys, it really is appreciated. I am quite proud to have achieved my Instructors Wings and thank everyone who helped me along the way. Particularly Darren and Kieran for their...

Crack yourself up Dave !!! Clever though!

One of the guys had one at the course last wekend and he fly it with a another guy from his club with a bloody huge Gas YAK. The guy has been flying for 30 years and flys pattern displays with giants ...

Hey Kiran I'm thinking about buying one of these for teaching students to fly. I think it would be a good all around aircraft for basic training and might also be good for doing spin recovery.....In...

Hi Kieran Friendly reminder mate. I would like to get my gold wings some time this year. I did the exam in January. I would appreciate it if you and Darren can please make the time to format the re...

Hey Kiran. How is that manouver coming along that you and Darren are putting together so the Gold wings elect members can get their gold wings.

Hey Kieran (Instructor) What is the happening with the issuing of the Gold Wings for Owen, Chris and Myself. I believe that we passed all the required tests and all did spin recovery because our air...

Can any of you boffins tell me what class this sweet beastie fits into. If its an EF1 plane then everyone else is in serious trouble. Its electric but I think its to small and to light for EF1. I r...

Hey Jason I have had a very thourough look at all the specifications on both the Shoestring and the Sundowner. In your humble opinion which airframe do you think might have the edge and why?

You don't have to worry about me Claudio, I can't even fly a plane at the moment mate, let alone build one. Me thinks it will be after Christmas before I can fly anything that really boogies!

Bloody Hell Jason..... Youv'e sold me on EF1 mate..... Those combustion engines just sound like WAY too much work for me. If I take up racing.... or should I say WHEN I take up racing it will be wi...

Am I allowed to use my FF Trojan or is it for Rare Bears only?

Yes indeed... very nice job Frank...

As expected Kieran ...you D man! I knew you would have your finger on the pulse. Might not be to long before we see big mother Chevrons on Heli blades, Blue Thunder's wisper mode make not be science...

I like to think I'm a pretty smart fella... but I would have thought that an irregular shape like that at the the trailing edge of the prop would have generated more turbulance not reduced it... just ...

OK ...What's the story with the Chevron/sawtooth on the trailing edges?

Bloody hell Jason,you really go the extra mile to get ride of that drag... nice job mate. Any idea how much of an increase in top speed you might get out of said deflectors?

As an old friend from "Laugh In" used to say..... "VERY INTERESTING"

How does the scoring work?

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...

Jason I noticed a few posts back that you need a couple of Cam speed props. I have two 4.5 x 4.5 Cam speed props if you need them. Let me know Gazz

Nice work Jason, looking forwrd to seeing Mark 2.

Peter Pine also sells speed props. He is recognised as being the one of the fathers of electric flight in Australia. I have bought a lot of bits and pieces from him. His prices are pretty respectab...

Thanks Jason I am probably going home this evening, but thanks for the offer. I think a test piece with clear on it is worth a try mate. I recon the gloss would make the "out of mould finish" look h...

Very nice work Jason, I really like the colour scheme!

[quote='secant0give' pid='21266' dateline='1372075033'] I mean the mob that used to be FGI for years at Brookveil Have you had some bad experience with them Gazz ? I've used their R180 Epoxy syst...

I hope you don't mean "Nuplex" Jason... if you are purchasing products from them you are in lots of trouble...... just kidding mate, my X wife is the CEO.

You didn't answer my question buddy, and I know you aren't doing it to get rick quickley, so what's the bottom line to purchase one of these "Jasomites" ... and yes I am happy to accept royalties for ...

Looks incredibly labour intensive mate, how much do you think you will be selling the finished product for?

I wasn't having a dig mate... just using your noisy little plane to make a point to all the other members.

Absolutely stoked that it flies so well Jason... it does sound very noisy though mate... Will have to do a db test on the little sucker on the weekend... hope it is under so you can continue to enjoy ...

I don't know shit... but simply looking at the airframe I'd agree and believe the tailplane and most importantly the Vertical stab are way too small.

I like your theory Jason ... it does make a lot of sense. Any reason will do as far as I am concerned just as long as we break the sound barrier

Looks good mate, well done... I hope the maiden goes without issue and at a speed that causes blurred vision.

Jason I run my prop driven Skyfun on a Scorpion 2221-8 at 3600kv on 4S spinning a Graupner Cam 4.5 x 4.5 speed prop... and we all know how that tears up the sky, full throttle theoretical on that is 5...

That inverted construction must be a little awkward mate! Lookin' sleek and fast!

Your attention to detail never ceases to amase me Jason... nice work mate!!! PS: Don't throw those mounds away, HK might sponsor you in thier R&D devision.:D::thumbup::D

There is some vey very interesting stuff in that there link matey, thanks Smuzz!

Very nicely done Jason. Its good to see the fine detail and effort you've put into it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Clever thinking Jason, good to see you thinking outside the square ... As usual !

All this mathematics is going to make my head explode ..... I use the Gazz equation.... MORE POWER RULES!!! But not before doing the Ecalc maths of course!
