Took the RB up this afternoon after finishing the mowing. First flight was with a 4000 compact as far forward as it would go. It took off in about 5 meters at half throttle, a little trimming followe...

Sure have mate It has got enough torque to blow your budgie smugglers accross the street. 51 amps pulling 1100 watts should be a shade under 6000 rpm. Thats pretty cool on 6S with a 3kg aircraft. ...

I have been admiring this aircraft for some time, so as soon as it arrived in Oz I had to have one. The aircraft is made of a very hard EPO and is painted purple, all the other colours are ultra thin...

Now your thinkin George!

BEER goes without saying Frank, but not while flying. You would also have the manditory daily BBQ to raise funds for..... um...... well......err...... me!

There would be absolutely no question about it. If I won lotto or some impossiblly rediculous government money laundering scheme designed specifically to make the average looser believe they actually...

Hey Guys If you are looking for the best employee on the planet...... I'm in!

This isn't a doco its just some magic footage my brother sent me of a GPS approach flying a KC 30 into Queenstown NZ. It has been sped up to fit the music, he's a clever dood I think.... http://ww...

This is a P-51 lovers delight, it tells the story of the development of the Mustang throughout the war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuvbYfQawY

Thanks Dave... what a great video, I had better get back to work now!!!

Just finished watching ALL your doco's Dave. Thanks! they were really terriffic

Hey Darren Are you after a few spares, If you can afford it this looks pretty sweet. http://www.rctrader.com.au/component/adsmanager/?page=show_ad&adid=7934

Hi Dazza Did you know that Stumax has just released a fan that with fit in you Habu http://www.rc-warbirds.com/product_info.php/products_id/1234 Sweet ride mate Gazz

Hobbies in the Hills has a pretty good range of 3 blade Master airscrew Props, Ive bought my last 3 props from them for around $12

Im now flying my FMS Trogan on 5S 4000 25C and I'm spinning a 13 x 8 x 3 blade Master airscrew and it draws 42 amps static so I recon our aircraft have the same motor for sure. So if you wanted to get...

You obviously missed the brief on FMS aircraft Frank, Yes, they are beautiful airframes, Yes, they fly beautifully, and YES the electronics packages that come with said beautiful aircraft are absolute...

I got my 13 x 8 3 blader from Hobbies in the Hills. Its a master airscrew!

If you read the conversion data for 2 to 3 then 3 to 4 blade props you will see why. You can do the Maths on the 4 to 5S upgrade. Generally if you up the S rating on a specific airframe with the sam...

I have just started flying my Trojan on 5S, but the only reason I decieded to do that was because I broke the prop. It is a 13 x 9 3 blade standard. I replaced it with a Masterairscrew 13 x 8 3 blade...

Hey George..... Bite me!!!!

If the Corsair is close in weight to the Trojan, I dont think you will get anywhere near 7 minutes. All the FMS birds run the same 500kv 4S motor, and it is a ripper, they do however all have differe...

Looks very nice Frank, I am looking forward to seeing that beastie in the air. I was in two minds when I ordered my FMS T28, I was very close to getting the Corsair.

A couple of old classiscs:- Following the recent tragic death of the Human Cannonball at the Kent Show, a spokesman said "We'll struggle to get another man of the same calibre." Two blondes wal...

Hi Aaron Sorry that your introduction to this great hobby has been though a supplier that is anything but.... I have to watch my P's and Q's with my responses to this particular group, I know of cou...

Forsooth! Cease & desist from purchasing any wares from this establishment, they care not about anything except money in the front door.

Looks like you are getting there George..... I think you have the paitience of a saint!!!! Gazz

Lookin good mate, very impresed with the progress thus far. Gazz

These things happen for a reason Rob.................... Keep it! Gazz

Just thought I would jump in and help Rob out here !!! If anyone has been thinking about getting their first EDF.... grab a bargain and pounce on the Alpha Jet. I know because it used to belong to me...

Now I'm worried, I've got an Ice Light 75 in my Hotliner, what speedie are you using in your Hotliner, Kieran?

Sorry to confuse you there Frank. The aircraft I'm refering to is that ones big brother, its called the Sundowner F1 and has an 80" wingspan... Sick...

Jas ... that looks SWEEEEEEEEET!

Claudio..... me thinks you may have a dark side??????

Frank/Jason Had to let you YAK 55 junkies know about this lovely beastie, 2800mm wingspan..... Yeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaa ! http://www.rctrader.com/category/310/GasPetrol/listings/8506/Aeroworks-Yak55-1...

That certainly is a big motor, did you buy the Spruce Goose mate? I suppose you get what you pay for Frank... HK stuff is more than reasonably priced and is certainly a good financial option, but I g...

The APC's would be a better choice, I personally would not use a heavy prop for electric flight particularly on a 3D bird. As I said I a previous post the light wood electrics are much more suited to ...

Jason is right Frank, they will fly nice, but spooling up on throttle will take longer than a lighter prop (which also burns more power). Heavier props are better suited to scale and sports fliers, w...

The light beech props that Jason recommended are actually for IC engines, I have used them before and they are very good props but but are a little on the heavy side, these are more suitable for elect...

I get my big wooden props from HK, they do up to 21" in the light wooden electrics and they are beautifully balanced. Hobbies in the hills carries just about everything APC but are obviously a little...

They look like Hacker motors to me Dave?

Very Impressive footage Dave. Scott is quite obviously a master at his craft. Enjoyed every second of that. Gazz

Hey Steve, they are really cheap, I think I will order 2..... NOT!

Hey Steve Your new avatar is giving me a friggin headache...... Oh... no... hang on a second... its not the Avatar.... its the beer.........blah hah hah hah hah hah !!!

You are spot on Rob, dont need sound card thingies, you should hear the great sound of the big twins at full throttle, the ground test blew me away, not only does it sound pretty sweet but its got big...
