Wayne, I should be more clear some times, What I meant by heavy leads was, Leads that carry a fair bit of current. I wasn't aluding to the extra weight. The leads that go between the mot...

It's looking Good Wayne, If the spar is tight I would sand it down a little bit the couple of tho' you'll take off to ease the tightness will have negligable effect on it's strength. I ha...

Great Video !! good flying too!! Doesn't look like they've had much rain for a while by the colour of the grass. I'm guessing that's down the south somewhere ??? We almost moved to Tas the mis...

I used to fly Warbirds online combat sim some years ago, It was great fun !! just found this 2012 Trailer and the graphics look a lot better now I'd love to get into it again but it takes so much t...

Hmmmmm or building up some brownie points weeeeellllll it is the option of last resort :)

I've been looking at motors, lipo's, and other similar model specs to get an idea of wing loadings and all up weights. I'm thinking along the lines of retaining about the same weight as the origin...

Hey Frank, thanks for the compliment, This is a brand new plane, there's only the holt melt needed to put it together, no repairs as yet. I'm sure they well arrise tho' :) The old one is pretty...

Well it flies :) Here's some video of it in the air yesterday morning I really like these planes they fly slow enough to let you practice just about any manouver and they are forgiving enough to...

Thanks for posting those Gazz

Don't forget to go over the all the joints and paint the timber up the front of the fuse and around where the Under carage mounts using West systems Epoxy and a paint brush. :) That will toughen...

I usually zap the wire into the crimped tubes for a little extra secutity. I've never had one one loose. The wires need a bit of tension. you should only feel the backlash of the servo when you mo...

We certainly were Gazz, Looking at those photos It might be a good time to test fly the float plane !! That would give the missus another reason to question my sanity :)

Hopefully it won't tak too long to dry out

Looks Great !! If you want to toughen up the wings then you can add some fiber tape top and bottom I did this to my fun jet and that fairly slipps along. It also has no spar in the wings.

You guys are AWSOME !! Well done !!

Very nice, The mustangs I've seen all seem to fly very well I think this will be superb! Can't wait to see it on the air !!

I would use west epoxy and filler, mix it thick so it doesn't drool out of the joint while it's curing. Five min or 30 min epoxy probably will drool on you. You can use the same filler with ...

That link with all the motor specs that you posted gave data for a number of speed 400 motors, all seemed to be producing around 100 W and drawing around 10A. I think you'd be pushing them a lit...

I'd be inclined to go for these, heaps of torque for the job, nice and fast, super reliable and only $2 more than the other ones. Not only that they are only 2/3 of the weight you'll be saving 2 ...

I like the red colour sceme !! I think your going to really like this one Wayne

hey that looks good. I've got the earlier Turnigy 9 channel radio and I'm using it with an FRsky module and I've been very happy with it.

I won't be at the field today, my eldest son Riley isn't very well

Excellent Rob, Bring it down for some practice laps!!

Awsome guys !! Do you think we might be able to tempt Omuzz back from retirement??

Sounds like a great idea and I'd certainly love to be there but sadly duty calls I have to spend another day in the salt mine. Have Fun !!

That is a legondary effort Steve well done !!!

Perhaps a sign that says something like "No dumping this area is under video survailance". might act as a deterant.
