Hi Chris I WILL be flying tomorrow but at this stage I will probably need to go into work for a few hours to sort out an engine fault. If you would like I will drop by on route to work and unlock th...

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...

Chris Mc Wrote: (29-03-2014, 05:18 PM) -- Okay guys, time to pick your brains. I recently bought a Hk 1600mm Spitfire from Rob. Everything is fine with it except the Retracts are in opposite direc...

Hey Rob Im glad that you are having fun with the heli, remember little steps is the only way to go. You will probably find you are chasing the tail because the ground effect of the really low hover...

Welcome to the club Steve... you might be a little concerned about the ramifications ie: a few nights on the couch, but once you get the big T into the air, you will have a smile a mile wide.

If you wanted to go a step further Drew, We could host Build/Repair workshops for anyone that is new to RC that is happy to part with a few dollars to get asistance from people with years of RC exper...

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...

Hobbies In The Hills Has Moved Droped in the Hobbies in the Hills today to pick up a few things and was met with a WE HAVE MOVED sign, so I thought I would let you all know where they are because it ...

Thanks for the update Steve Would appreciate an update tomorrow morning (weather permitting....and I use that phrase very losely) And buy the way be careful of your ears. If McCoy is R.S. I might ...

Sorry to rain on your parade Steve, but since leaving school you could count the novels Iv'e read on one hand, hate fiction, love Science fiction but mostly read stuff that I can learn from, if it dos...

I agree with Steve, if you want any EDF to have decent hand launch performance you gotta up the S rating and get some serious ponies under the bonnet.... or to coin an old performance phrase... YEEE...

Howdy all you frustrated pilots (like me) Droped in to the field this afternoon on the way home from work to see how the field was fairing after the weekend deluge. The strip is still quite soggy un...

Where are you going to get it from Frank. The Australian distributor doesn't import the 140 anymore, I know because I was talking to him yesterday because I need a new fuse for mine. Might have to set...

The motor mount in Petes Mustang could hold up a hacker 50. I know cause I build it. But it is a given that if you change a prop you do a amp test. Not a good idea to overload the ESC or the motor.

Good stuff George Thats a nice looking ride. Our runway is certainly long enough to handle it, I dont think that would need to land too fast, you just need to concentrate on getting your approach rig...

Geday Dave First arrival will probably be me see you there around 8 am

Dont fancy your chances Steve Forcast is for morning winds from 30 to 45 k's abating to 20 k's in the afternoon.

A nice head wind can be a blessing... as long as it is coming from the right direction... helps slow down the quick ones.

I droped in for a quick fly this afternoon. The ruway is compleley dry after last weeks deluge. It is in urgent need of a good mowing. The rain and spring warm weather has got the foliage on the ...

Steve Where do you set your C of G on the Stryker with the 90mm EDF. I've had a bit of an epiphany and decieded not to buy any more new aircraft until I get all the beasties in the wardrode in the s...

Hey Steve Let us know how the field is recovering after your flying tomorrow. If you think it will be still to soggy for Darren to mow before the weekend. Let me know and I will come and mow the s...

I'd like to have a really good look at that airframe next time we cross paths, mate... but I'm flying out west tomorrow.

Hi Kieran I just spent over 2 hours sorting through Lipo's putting an order of batteries together that I need an the buggers have a cap of 3400 mAh or some crap like that. Most of the batteries I wa...

Mowings all done see "Field Condition" I have to work tomorrow, dont know when or if I will get down to the field. Don't get to excited its not the best. But it will have to do.

Now your thinkin George!

What is really interesting is that the best ESC's that money can buy... Kontronic... build ESC's for up to 12S and come with built in BEC's, I know some of the best pilots that use Kontronic and they...

Doesn't look to promissing Steve But I haven't flown for 3 weeks so if it's not to blustery I will see you down there.... what time are you thinking?

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...

I will be opening up tomorrow morning between 8 and 8.30. See you there

Hi Wayne I have the Hacker A60-22 in my Egde 540 that came out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140. So I used the mount that I bouught with the motor. http://www.espritmodel.com/aluminum-mount-a60.aspx Esprit...

If you want really good combat wings the engine and prop and prop cavity have to cut into the centre of the wing. Only way to fly combat.

Ive got a nice big Kyosho Edge 540 Red Bull SE that you could get back in the sky for a song! Going cheap!

Captain Decadance here! Heading down to the field shortly, another near perfect day. YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

Nice work George..... Pretty impressed with those brakes ... they work well ...Dooh!!!

Hey Andrew Kieran is usually on the pulse with these things. I think I will give them a miss. Thanks anyway.

I had to come into work for an hour this morning and the weather has been pretty good thus far, I hope to get down later this morning for a few hours if the weather stays fine.

I agree with Steve, generating enough heat to melt a solder joint can only come from a poor quality joint in the first place. I would suggest it was a crap joint to start with, a poor tradesman always...

Your gunna repair that to a "flyable state" your a clever man John. After an event of those proportions I would be heading in this direction http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16337__SkyFun...

I use a stanley knife which does the trick but I think the cutter they are talking about is like a small pipe cutter similar to what plumbers use.

That will be a NO ! from me Steve, if you get a chance to check it out and it needs a mow send me an SMS and I will try to get down late tomorrow. I'm on holidays for the next 2 weeks ( FINALLY) star...

Sweet ...... thats a good idea, I couldn't be stuffed driving all the way out there with the weather so unpredictable.... I think I will fly at McCoy!

Hey Kieran I am about to download DCS World, do I need to download the extra files on the home page and what do they mean by put them in 1 folder?

I dont understand why HK would want to open a store up down there. I used to live 2 blocks from Vaggs Hobbies and the Shire is not exactly booming with RC clubs. Personally I think they stuffed up bi...

Hey Steve Cant help you with throw rates. Probably because I use a DX6i. But my expo rates are Aileron 40 % Elevator 40 % Rudder 60 % I personally prefer to make that dead spot at centre stick a...

Does anyone have a winrar programme on a memory stick or have a link where I can get it from so I can open this hallowed flight site. Gazz

Any time after 9 am should be OK. We have had a lot of rain in the last 2 weeks and because our field is a flood basin it will probably still be a little damp under foot. Saturday or Sunday between ...
