I'm leaving now

Excellent I'm heading down there in about 30 mins

http://youtu.be/hocTwU6LP1s It flies again, tho' I did manage to break the prop and bend the undercarriage landing in the mud on the edge of the strip. It's all cleaned up and I'll straighten the gea...

The grass on the strip looks pretty long It would probably have "taxied a lot easier" if it were shorter. It's grown up a fair bit around the edges of the strip too since I last saw it. I...

SRL, what prop are we best off running on the rare bear? Mine is almost ready to go, just got to cut some vent hole in it for cooling air to the ESC, about to do that now :)

Thanks SRL !! I'll have a look and see if I can find a round prop nut in bunch of parts, I'm guessing that this for better air flow for cooling? I'm not sure how well balanced the spinner is on...

It's a very nice machine indeed!! Not only does it look very nicely made, It looks like a great flyer too!! and quite reasonably priced as well. If you want to get more throws you can allw...

What is really impressive about this plane is that it's light!! at the Max suggested flying weight of 4.3Kgs it's got a wing loading of only 20oz per Sqft That is very light for a plane this size...

Yep a decent motor and ESC and don't go too heavy on the batteries. Just enough to balance it you don't need great flight duration but you do want light weight. Should be a beautie !!

Looks like a nice scale model, but at 3.4Kgs it's got some weight even for it's size. I reckon it will be an unforgiving machine to fly, It's allmost the same colour top and bottom so it will be ch...

Looks like I'll have to pull my finger out with the Pneumatic launcher if we havn't got a strip to take off from, Been doing some work on it this week Perhaps I'll need some flippers as well.

This is my Favourite low pass pic It's Kirby Chambliss and his fullsize Edge 540 scairing the birds

If your after some foam Gazz I probably have some that will do your more than welcome to some I'll have a look tomorrow and put some in the car to bring home for the weekend, Cheers Jason

I was sure it was the defiant act of mowing a new strip that really pissed the weather gods off but that certainly wouldn't have helped either :)

Here's a bit of fast and furious fun flown by frank, the other weekend to add a bit of cheer to this dreary weather Enjoy :) bst watched in full screen mode I might add the rare bear is only...

It must be float plane time?? Or does that risk really annoying the gods???

I couldn't join your session 'cause I didn't have the same version So I updated it and when I looked back the Session was gone so I started another

Great fun, kept getting called away tho' nice to see that the virtual field is at least dry

hey that's looking good!! Don't forget to make the ailerons tapered wider at the wing tips than the root. Will you put a tow hook on it to launch it with a bungee, catipult or the pnumatic la...

I must say I really like FRsky receivers they have excellent range and have functioned perfectly out over 500m. Some people use them out over 1.5Km. They are cheep and very high quality diversity t...

It might also be worthwhile to note here that JR and Spectrum are 100% compatible as far as the buddy cable goes. Even my old X388S buddies with DX6i just fine.

I might have said some of those things, more than once. But it doesn't count 'cause that was to my fist wife :)

There are of course pros and cons on the mode selection too ... I expect you'd have guessed there would be, by now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Did you see the clip of Franks one flying the other day It fairly hoots along!! find it here a couple of posts back (best viewed in full screen mode) http://forum.rcflyingclub.com/showthread.ph...

Looks very nice can't wait to see it fly!

Nice one Gazz!! look forward to seeing it next weekend !!! fingers crossed, that the weather is permitting

Those leads are suprisingly easy to see in the dark! You could allways have them set up to turn off with the gear switch and shut them down for a second here and there, for some real thrills !! :)

have you seen the stinger from HK ? Wingtipper brought one over to show me the other evening and I was super impressed!! I was wondering if a stinger might be a candidate for a good working over h...

I think it certainly has enough power, in fact more than enough power. It's a 700KV motor so it revs quite a bit higher than the Hacker at 427KV. So I would expect it to want to spin a small...

Nice Job with the mower Steve !! Sebat models are very nice machines!! What one are you looking at ??

I actually did a bit of a refit on my depron extra, (cut out about 6 oz of hot-melt glue) replaced most of the damaged twisted and mushy bits with crisp new depron and gave it straighten up. It flys m...

If you were drawing 90A continious I would also say way too much!! But that is flat out and static, ie tied to a post. Once it gets in the air it will be unload and the current draw will fall o...

I might get down there about 2:30-3:00 with a little luck I'd like to give the pnumatic launcher another testing out

It's looking like It will be later for me now things arnt quite going to plan here at work I'm still hoping to get there before 4 tho'

loading the launcher into the car now Hopefully there will be someone there with a key so I don't have to carry everything down
