Sure is BB, There were over 500 of these produced and sold to other countries The project started in the 1950s I think and went for ages. A real piece of Australian aviation history

I just saw this and thaught I'd post up the link. Looks like some time fairly shortly HK is going to release a plane that meets the EF1 rules. Should be a nice quick little sports/racer. ht...

Wayne and I had a great day in Wollongong. The Flying conditions were just about perfict. The only slight, on the weather was, that by the late afternoon the sun came down to sit on the top o...

Will do Smuzz

Lookin' good Gazz, Kind of dwarfs the 6 seater dining room table :) It will definitely have some PRESENCE in the air

Good stuff Wayne, I'll see you in the morning we can fit the Eratix in no probs !! Claudius Wrote: (11-05-2013, 04:55 PM) -- Sorry again I can't make it Jason! -- No worries Claudio, I'll...

Normally I would have happily joined in but I had my 2 boys with me it can be fairly intense keeping ahead of them at times, being almost two and almost three they can be pretty full on. Watchi...

I can vouch for that I was there watching him slogging away

That's a great colour scheme!! It should be nice and easy to orientate

Fortune favours the brave old mate, and the gods are supposed to smile on fools as well. Any takers on a free ride to Wollongong pylon on Sunday ??

Looks Like I have a spare seat in the Car if anyone wants to coma along for a great days flying on Sunday. There will be some super action to see, as there will be some F5D models racing for the f...

That pilot could be an escapee from the Village people :D

Sounds like a productive day ahead !!!

Do not remove the capacitors they are there for a good reason!! If you remove them you'll have a lot of electrical noise that will mess with your radio What Gazz was saying was don't bother with the a...

Great Video Gazz Good find!! I enjoyed watching that especially the inverted pass by the sea plane That looked Awsome

I'm looking forward to having a close look at it Wayne It looks really nice in the pictures and eflight does make very nice planes!!

You'd be surprised how heavy those APC props are, there wouldn't be much difference In Weight between the beach wood props and the glass filled nylon APC electric I have an 18x8 plastic TPG and it...

If you look back to post #12 of this thread you will see some links to places you can buy light wood props if your going to order some let me know cause I'm after a 19x6 light electric or two Cheers

Not actually one of mine but from a collection we visited yesterday[hr] This is one I've often thought about building a scale model of Do you know what it is?

Those props will still fly ok They will just take a little longer to spool up run them without a spinner if your worried about the extra weight messing with the C of G It will be hard to fit them to a...

Good stuff Wayne !! Sounds like your getting used to it Do a few touch and goes with it at the start of each flight And practice doing S turns to wash off a little speed on the approaches if your comi...

Yes it does quickly Add up and that's just using the turnigy stuff from HK If you use the really top of the line gear it's even more But back in the good old days it was much more expencive I ...

Lovely !! That's great news, I hope to get down there tomorrow morning for a little while :)

Ian has a seafury from the fun fughter series, he flys it, but he didn't think it was much good for racing. I like the glass racer I've thaught about getting one of those to put together m...

That's quite true John, I quite like scratch building models. It's a lot of fun, very satisfying and it doesn't take that long, especially if you've built a few and learn't a few tricks allong t...

Good stuff!! I whish they would hurry up and get a few more RareBears on stock!! I wouldn't mind a nice new fresh unpainted one. My oldest one is getting a little shabby looking but it still ...

I havn't done much work on this for a while, mainly because I've had a couple of other distractions but I did manage to a few sets of cores from the foam I ordered a while back. That's the go...

Well It's looking like there will be a reduced turnout for Pylon racing at Illawarra. But it looks like it's still going to be on. I'm planning on going, I've got my No 1.a Viper's fir...

Very tragic. I was suprised at how quick the roll rate was It looked like the pilot almost managed to get the wings level before it hit the ground. It was pretty much on edge and with little forwar...

Looks good and it will certainly be interesting to see it fly. It might be worthwhile to add battens to hold the sail/wing full on the leading edge. I think this what they did with some of the ear...

Good tip Gazz, I'll try that next time I add some stickers !!

I'd be inclined to go for spoilerons over flapperons. ie raise both ailerons rather than lowering them. It will be much easier to control with ailerons raised and likely be rather tip stally wit...

I had a great at days flying at Blacktown. I didn't realise that you needed a specific invitation from a member to fly there. I thought it would be much like Vineyard in that if you just lo...

Nice one Wayne !! Glad to hear the test flight went well and that your Happy with the new machine I look forward to seeing it in the air !!

Blacktown it is, and Vinyard is Plan B if they are flying rockets and the field is closed to RC planes (as it sometimes is at Blacktown)

I might head out to Blacktown or Vinyard fields for a fly since McCoy park is going to be soggy. anyone Keen to come along? I need to give my Q500 a test fly since I've replaced the fire wall. ...

So it's probably still running now ??

Thanks Steve

Hey some nice flyin' there !! Vinyard is a great field !!

Is it fixed yet ?? Or will tomorrow see the strip good for flying ??

I'll be down at the field tomorrow now that the Kitchen mods are just about finished all I have to do is fit the splash back. But since that's on order and won't be here till late next week I'm fre...

Very nice mate !! Nice Neat installation of all the electrics too Top Job !!
