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...

I dont blame you Rob, If I wasn't saving for a special project I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat. I recon you could even throw a couple of Jetcat P 20's in those nacelles to turn it into a fully sic...

Hey Kev J If you want to get a 3D bird and dont want to spend to much this new beastie looks the goods. If I didnt already have a heap of 3D aircraft I would order one of these. http://www.hobbyking...

Thanks Kieran I worked it out. For anyone putting in a big order for Lipo's. The total weight MUST be under 4 kgs. I split the order in 2 and it went through no worries wih EMS.

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...

Hi Guys I had a little indiscresssion with landing my Eflite Ultimate last weekend and damaged the wing covering material on a rouge super weed. I dont really want to buy an entire roll to make ...

I only look at the one for that particular order. I have refered back to previous orders a few times but Im sure if you get ride of the dated stuff it would be sweet. Gazz

After closer inspection, the weight increse is pretty substancial. I think I will watch the internet for a while before I upgrade. Gazz

Hi Rob If it is a programming card you are after you will find them in the ESC listing at the top of the menu.

Kieran Just a friendly reminder that the parts I am waiting for from Hobby King are now in stock. Not giving you a hard time just pointing it out as I am waiting on those bits to get some of my airc...

Hay Kev Just noticed that you have a Plush 80amp ESC on order and a programming card. Thay also have an 85 amp ESC that is lighter and smaller than the Plush and has better electronics if you dont m...

Hey Kieran Just letting you know that the Servos I have on back order are finally back in stock. Just a friendly reminder. Im sure you already have them on the way. Thanks

Thanks guys I guess 8 amp BEC it is !!!!

Does anyone have a rough idea on what your basic small digital servo draws. I have 9 of the little suckers in my Su 47 and am trying to work out what size BEC I need to supply enough power to stop br...

Kieran I have scratched the wheels from the order. Thought they might be handy but if recon they are useless then I will save my money Thanks Gary PS Any work from HK about my Alpha Jet.??

Hi guys (Kieran especially) I broke the motor mounting bracket on my Hobbyking P51D Mustang last weekend. Every thing else apart from the prop is fine. I do however need a new motor mounting bracket. ...

Thanks heaps Paul Sounds simple when you know how.... I will give it a try Cheers Gazz

Hi all Was hoping someone could give me a quick rundown on hown the Hobby king order thing works. Not sure if I am missing something but cant work out how the whole click on this to order thing work...

Rob.. Rob.. Rob.. Rob.. Rob..... I find that very hard to believe. Gazz

Timing errors eh Jas? The GPS looks ok to me. Looking at the huge variation in the data you have taken and the mathematical equations used that still give you a varience of over 30kph, I would be mo...

I would put a GPS in the sucker and get a proper top speed reading over 100 meters or more... that would save a shit load of muckin around... don't you think!

Congrats on the successful flights Wayne. Now you're in trouble mate, you have contracted the dreaded speed bug... and I'm happy to report that the only cure is... MORE SPEED !!!

My Hacker A50-14 is 370 grams and my Lipo is a Turnigy 6S 5000 25C @ 800 grams. No, I am only half way down (see photo) My battery is mounted in a housing mounted at 45 degrees and sits against the b...

Shame about the landing gear George. As I had to add 250 grams of weight to the cowl of my Tucano to balance the plane, you might want to re think your motor choise. I will stick with what I have fo...

Spot on there Steve, I was only up for 3 minutes but did 5 take off runs prior to that. The Hacker certainly surprised me but the airframe surprised me the most.

Well after we sorted Waynes Eratix. I decieded to take to Super Tucano out for a few taxi trails as I was still a little concerned that it might be a little underpowered (for my liking). To my surpri...

I will have a look at it if you are flying out west today.

Come on Jason, I thought you were a glass half full man? or to put it another way... Don't take any shit from the lady luck bitch!

Looks like a nice plane Jason, If you can get some longevity out of it I recon you are on to a good thing.

Always great to here when a maiden goes without a hitch and youve got a smile from ear to ear. Well done.

Looks very impressive, would not have expected anything less, like the idle mode, well done mate.

Yeh! And where did you get those massive wheeels?

In a high speed EDF, I wouldn't use anything less than a Spectrum AR500, would be a real shame to stand watching your pride and joy heading for the horizon, oblivious to your requests as you pull your...

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

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...
