On This Day 100 yrs ago in 1918 21st April, the Red Baron Baron Manfred Von Richthofen was shot down and eventually died from the gun shot wound by an Australian machine gunner with his Lewis machine ...

Hello All, considering that ANZAC Day falls on a Wednesday this year, out of respect to past and present serving members of Australia's Military, I suggest that there should be no flying on Wednesday ...

Looks like a fun night on the high seas, Srl lol

Looks like this weekend is blown out with expected 20-30kn winds tomorrow :-(

It's loaded in the car, Jason :-)

I'll be down around 10ish tomorrow

Since there hasn't been any interest in having a swap meet tomorrow, I guess we'll try for a later date....

I would like to propose a swap meet this coming Saturday 10th March, anyone interested? I'll have a few things for sale....

Hey Robbo, just want to make a correction in your post. The special GM is being held on Saturday, not Sunday.

Who's down for some flying tomorrow?

Hi Josh, a good time is on Saturday and Sunday mornings (weather permitted), there you'll find a few members flying and very willing to answer any questions you have about the hobby of RC aircraft. K...

Hi Simon, you don't mention a price for them....

I'll probably be down tomorrow morning then off to softball around lunch time.... I've got a couple of ideas I want to pitch and one of them is the Mini Wing races

Ha ha ha ha...... 8 days for delivery.... Bloody quick for them lol

Just got my Spirit wings today.... Bloody quick service from Banggood..... Orange Streak and Yellow Lattice....

I have both 2 & 3s batteries. Will have to sus it out when it arrives. I use a 2s 800 for my HK Bonsai which flies well on it as Jason B will atest too.

I have ordered a Spirit myself. My thinking of the smaller model is the size of our field which would suit a race of this size of wing. What motor did you choose, the recommended size? I already have ...

Hello to those people who I've been chatting to about these guys at Spocktra50 and how much fun they have flying, even if it ends in taking more pieces home than they brought to the field. Always a go...

I might be there for a while.

Yes of course everyone will/should have an identical setup to even the race up so it then comes down to flying skills and chance, because as we know, flying FPV you don't know where the other racers a...

Banggood have 600mm FPV wings for around $23 and in different colours. Plus a little AIO FPV camera from them as well will be ideal. could have both FPV and line of sight classes... https://www.bangg...

Hey members. I want to get some extra fun happening with all our members. Would there be enough interest in holding a flying wing pylon or slalom race where everyone has the same wing and setup to kee...

Hello all, I've just made up a flyer to put in Ultimate Hobbies today to inform people of our Club Open Day and BBQ on the 20th January. I'm sure it's to everyone's OK. Also, do you think that we can...

Today's flying started late for me but it was slightly windy but nothing to much to worry about. When I arrived there where 3 cars, 2 members and a new potential Club member Greg who has moved his fam...

Hey Jason, What is happening with tomorrow? Will it be a play be ear situation with the forecast rain and see how the field holds upI should be there to help out if it is on, but not sure if it's only...

Wayne, a you may remember my Apprentice the other weekend, I've had a few accidents with it and done the repairs for it to fly again...

Its a shame I couldn't get down there this weekend due to celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday today and helping in packing and moving a friend...

Welcome Quang, We fly on weekends weather permitting and on Wednesday where those who have finished their working life come out to play or those who do shift work.... Hope to see you down at the fiel...

G'day John, Welcome to our forum and Club... Hope to see you down at the field soon. John, do you have any planes, helis or quads to fly? Or are you after some advice before purchasing? Regards ...

Have you recalibrated the ESC's as well?

I remember Bruce from RCmodeling had the same problem and worked out it was 2 ESC's failed at the same time. He changed them and all was good.... I hope that's a help..

Tomorrow doesn't look to inviting with this wind..... Although Sunday is looking better especially in the afternoon..... The August winds are on time this year....

Perhaps we could do a mass attack to PMAC for a fun fly with them..... [hr] James, if you are still looking for some Spektrum Rx, let me know as I have a few here that we can do a deal with...

You programme your model into your tranmitter. The Rx just comunicates what you have programmed setting for that model to the servos. There is no programming of a receiver at all. The stabilization of...

I'll have to wait until I get back from holidays....

Time to change the combination on all locks. For the time being, possibly use the locks from the box and get some temporary locks for the box...

Was down at the field today with Peter and Barry and was discussing about trying to locate and unblock the top drain head. Looking at this old picture that's on our website, I'm thinking that the top ...

Good luck with your CL. Hopefully you won't get dizzy lol

I had noticed that the weather was very enjoyable for flying yesterday, but unfortunately I was out at Berkshire Park celebrating the birth of my GFs grand daughter, but will definately be there this ...

Sounds like a great day out there. Congratulations to everyone involved in all aspects of the day. Unfortunately if we had more notice, the field could've got mown during the week, but it is what it ...

Looks like it'll be a huge day. Unfortunately I'll be working....

I'll come down for a while. Have the Cub and Apprentice and ???????

OUCH.... That's gotta hurt big time.... Of course any prop will do damage.....

Well I think the skipper and other amphibious craft will get some fly time in.....lol

How about we get together on a weekend of no flying and try it?

There was a light drizzle this morning. Field is dry and very flyable, although damn hot down there. Regards Todd

Yes, A great turn out considering the conditions. A BIG THANK YOU to Barry the "Chairman for the Sub-committee for Club Facilities" for his shade, ice box, music and BBQ, though I think he could've on...

OK Barry, I'll just bring the drinks with me then...

I've got the drinks all ready. Coke, Coke Zero, Lemonade and bottled water. Barry, will I need to get more ice tomorrow and will I need my eskies? [hr] Just spoke to Jason(speedy) and he'll be the...
