I'd be reluctant to get an Sbach unless you get a bigish one, I'd reckon the wings are too tapered to fly nicely in the smaller sizes. My little yellow edge 540 is a bit like that. It's the kind of...

It didn't fly out of range, the reciever hung. It was on but it just locked up. It didn't brown out either it just went into "lights on but no one home mode". And stayed like that till I disconne...

I'm going to try and get down the field this afternoon around 4-430 is for a few flights and will try to do the same tomorrow as well

Will do Gazz, I should be there. If I can't make it or the weather looks forboding I'll post about lunchtime other wise I'll be ther between 4-4:30 See you there !!

Woww!! That is Huge Gaz !! You might want to wait till I get the new G160 going in the blue Yak and see if you reckon it's worth going that way. The only things I did to it were grout the magnets...

Anyone been to have a look and see what conditions are like down at the field ? I'm thinking of heading down there for a fly in the morning

Interesting, From the reviews it sounds like it's a nice flyer. It should look good in the air !!

After racing rarebears and calling for SRL at one of the Pylon days at Pittown a while back, I got the chance to fly a Viper. When one of the races was over Steve handed me the radio and let me bur...

Excellent John !! I have a 50cc Extra that will probably just tip the scales over the 7Kg mark. It would be good if you could have alook at it for me at some stage.

Wow it's looking good, it's quite short coupled isn't it ? And with quite a long nose. It will be interesting to see how it flies !! be interesting to see how it recovers from a spin.

After I added those two carbon braces it was very noticable how much stiffer it made the whole tail group.

I agree with Gazz Go for the best power to weight It's better to have 3 mins of awsome flying performance than 6 minuets of just hanging in there !!
