Are you working on Sunday ? have to do some Doppler passes and see how quick it is

Absolutely !!

Well done mate!! I'm not surprised at the lipos and motor getting a bit hot That's how race planes are, designed to go flat chat for just 10 laps I guess a reasonable time for 10 laps would be 11...

There's a few instructors here at the field today

Looking good Frank!! Heading to McCoy field today??

you might also mix a little rudder in with ailerons

Nice one Frank!! The alien's head motif is the signature of the guy who designed it. And it looks quite nicely designed from the pics. The ailerons are nicely sized and positioned on the wing, which i...

Have a great Day out there Smuzz !!

I was down there early afternoon and it was pretty good No probs driving in tho there were the usual puddles but it was very flyable

It looks like a really nice machine Here's a link to the instruction manual http://www.theworldmodels.com/para/instruction/html/E337/ It seems to be a bit deerer than the Invictus but I think it ...

Merry Christmas Guys ! Have a safe and Happy New Year !!

There are signs saying motorcycles are prohibited and that large fines can be imposed on those who do ride down there

I just saw this from world models http://youtu.be/UcP1nnnyI8w

Congratulations Well done Steve !!

This is the one your most likely to see at McCoy Park Red bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) It's quite a timid creature and will normally flee long before you see it. Red bellies will ...

dry as can be here at sevenhills

I'm sure the field will be fine I may get down there for a bit this morning I'll have the little ones with me so I won't stay for long

That's a bit of tease isn't it ?? I wonder if the wing is easily removable for transport ??

Glad they got here OK !! Sounds like they look very nice and I'm sure you'll be happy with the NTM motors. I'd be inclined to pot the windings if they are not allready done from the factory. Those...

I'm super keen to see an Invictus in the flesh!! What motors are you putting in them Frank? Is it the EF1 motor from HK? One thing to watch out for is if the spinner rubs anywhere on the cowel ...

Still waiting for a reply from HK about the possibility of Invictus comming to the AU warehouse...................... But while I'm waiting I was having a look at the log files for EF1 from Marulin...

Thanks 'tipper !! Here's some in flight data from the Castle Cremations ESC. It's from the one flight I had with it yesterday at McCoy Field For this flight Dynamite is using a slightly cut down ...

Very scary stuff

I see there is only one red Invictus left in stock at HK Here's a copy of my corospondance with HK service centre about the postage and availability of the Invictus. It gets confusing ???? ...

It flew very well at Marulin for a couple of flights then then both the Motor and esc failed, the moment was marked by a thin whisp of smoke eminating from the "rear air hole". Fortunatly the ESC's i...

I got my Shoestring (EF1) out of moth balls last weekend and took it for a couple of flights down at Appen. It was quite a lot of fun to fly it again after almost a year. I can't believe the last time...

I don't think they will last very long I see the stock of the red version is allready below 10, so they have sold quite a few allready. EF1 pylon is quite big in the states and it's starting to get go...

I found I could order 2 of the white ones in the one shipment and the postage for both together was $116. That was the best I could get as far as shipping goes. It ws no differrent with the red on...

Don't forget to put march 16 in your diary !! The bears are getting rarer at HK only one plain unpainted one left in stock, but still 4 of PNF version, there are a few of the race edition kits left...

I see that HK now has a plain white Invictus availabe so I can custom colour it. I think I'll be looking at one of these. All it needs is one red wing tip, one sky blue wing tip, a red fin and a bl...

I think your spot on Andre, especially for 3D and areobatics training. That's basically what I do. I use one of SRL's profile foamies, (which are depron and require a little more disiplin but are stil...

It needs some thin ply braces cut to the diheadril angle and joined on to the center spar. they need to extend out to about 3 inches towards the tip from the diheadril joint. The other option is to...

I'm at the field and it's quit nice a little breeze but nothing harsh I'll be here for about another 40 mins

I can do that for you Andre No probs

You could use spoilerons, might make it easier to land at McCoy field. But it won't be absolutely necessary I didn't need them on the shoe string and I managed to land that OK at McCoy field. The la...
