Ben Dave pointed out a number of very important issues. The most important being, crashing a sim maters not. Crashing the real thing.......Big difference....... HUGE!!!!! It is great to learn the ...

Very happy it all went well Frank... told you tail heavy was good (only for 3D though)

Don't worry to much about that C of G shit Frank, its a 3D model isnt it? Tail heavy is good...

You D man Kieran...

I didnt say they dont work mate just that you get what you pay for.

Yeh and that the Orange HK receivers suck when compared to Spectrum

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

My advise Andee, if you want to learn to fly your heli safely and with minimal damage is to drop by our club and have a chat with some of our experienced heli pilots. There is not better way to start ...

Sorry mate, I was not suggesting you were being negative. You could always reverse the concept and build a bus with an up ramp at the back and a down ramp at the front, that way we could just drive o...

You could write a book on the problems with it, but I don't like to be negative when someone comes up with a good idea!

Had to share this one with you all. Those Chinese are clever thinkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=t1gTzc7-IbQ&feature=player_embedded

I will stick with JR/Spectrum thank you very much Simple and reliable with built in redundancy, and a dam site cheaper. http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMAR12120

I don't like to sound like a smart arse but you will probably find that all those other systems need their own channels, canopy, air brakes, flaps at least 2, thrust vectoring will need at least 2 qui...

Yeh thanks Claudio, seen most of the vids. HK make 2 of these, the small one is about 1100mm wing, mine is the big one at 1800mm The one Parkzone does is in the middle at about 1400mm.

No mate, the vindictive pricks (the weather gods), will probably make if blow a friggin gale for the next 6 months so my liquid runway is as choppy as the north sea...... arseholes!!!!

You know they say "if you cant beat em join em", so with that in mind I looked back at the last 12 months and the non existant flying caused by wet weather. So I though STUFF IT! and bought this. Was ...

U d man Jas.... U d man !~!

We are on the same page Frank I would re think the Skyraider they have lots of issues. Pick something else.... just a personal opinion The Viper is a riper but will have issues with grass becaus...

That is a very nice looking lady mate. Can I have some spec's please? Is it composite? And where the hell do you get one from?

Ive been looking at that very bird for quite some time George. It is very high on my list of " Iv'e gotta get me one of those". Twin Changesun 90's with Warhead 1850 motors running on a pair of 5000...

Thanks for the heads up BB, thouroughly enjoyed the presentation. Really nice to get an insite into the actual work that goes into making one of these beautiful aircraft.

You can't go wrong with one of these, value for money and proven track record, they really are a terrific aircraft, and they fly better with and electric conversion than they do with those noisey petr...

Mate Mate Mate Mate MATE!!! Don't change a bloody thing. That is brilliant! Very Very impressed with the editing and the choise of music. Well done My only suggestion would be to make it about 10 ...

I dont have a lot of experience with these airframes. There doesn't appear to be much difference visually between the Super Cub and the Piper, I know you hate the Piper's flight characteristics, so w...

OK Jason you have my attention... I'm interested ... what Link????

Good purchase Pete, being a bipe fan I love the Pitts, and from what I been told they are a pretty good PNP airframe. I'll keep an eye out for that one at the field. Gazz

The actual aviation rule for aircraft meeting head on is the same at the maritime one. "Both aircraft roll or turn right or to starboard" If you are flying the correct circuit, there should be no su...

You believe wrong Steve. I was the instructor on that flight. It was my trainee...Claudio that decided to crash into Victor. I am a very capable pilot and can crash on my own, I dont need an assiata...

As Kev said Make sure that you are BALANCE charging and that you have the balance lead plugged in. It might come good if you charge it a few times. Gazz

There are way to may variables to even think about a simple answer to that one George. A lot of manufacturers supply stall torques. But the load on your servos changes every second you are in the air...

Well said Kev, Could not have put it much better myself. Without going on any further Ben. If you are serious about the hobby you really can't go past the DX6i for learning to fly its a good radio ...

It will fit on your back seat Rob. George brought it to the field today. McCoy was a bog. We flew at A51.

I still us IE Kieran. and I dont have any trouble with the club website...... What do you recommend I use!

Thanks for your help team. I really do appreciate it. I have found exactly what I need, cheers. Gazz

I agree Kieran. I have been trying to find a decent 3 blader but the best I could find was a 13 x 8. I'm already running a 2 blade 13 x 8 so that wont help with top end, it will just bite the air a ...

Thanks for the link Jason, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I am very happy with the current airframe setup, I have done the sums and a 13 x 12 will give me awesome performance but the motor wi...

I thought I would start a new thread for people who have questions or need advice on which prop they should be using in specific applications. So I'll be the bunny... Steve Can you post a link for the...

Hi Wayne I believe the ME 109 by Parkzone is very similar to the P 51, not quite as much power and has a tendancy to tip stall if flown to slowly, so keep the speed up and they fly like champions. T...

Het Kev Go to u tube and type in dogfights There are heaps or them. A really good one with a P51 and a ME109 from the history channel

Maidened the new beastie this afternoon. Surprise surprise... it was on rails although it felt a little tail heavy... great for 3D but a little to taily for my liking. I replaced my prop, down f...

Hey Rob The short answer is .... nothing..... or to be correct "not a lot". The last one lasted 4 years ..... and I didn't exactly take it easy on the airframe. I suspect it was a micro failure in...

Yes mate, everything is exactly the same... no reason to fiddle with perfection!

This isn't really a new thread but seeing that my oldest and most favorite plane died about 6 weeks ago..... It had to be replaced.... enter Sukhoi V2. Apart from the different colour, which I think...

You cracked me up Claudio... how many in the box ... dare I ask?
