Well done Gazz !! Glad you got it down OK It's disconcerting hearing a noise like that especially, 'cause initialy, you've no idea what caused it. Kind of adds some extra pressure to an unplanned ...

I got a chance to test it out on Sunday After a quick few runs up to full noise on the ground I gave it a flight testing Three flights of about 5mins giving it as much stick as the gusty conditions wo...

Definatly a fair call I'll make sure that I'm more carefull in the future and maintain the corect circuit direction when other planes are in the air. Paul your absolutly right, I guess I'v...

I've had the timer change from down timer to up timer with my DX6i. But this only seems to happen if you turn it off with out re-setting the timer first. I've never had a control surface go r...

I've just emailed Colin about cutting the cores for us. Hopefully it won't be too long before he has them done :) :) :)

Shame they don't make those wings a little bit bigger more the size of a combat slope wing at about 1400 span. they would fly so much better. Perhaps we should get bunch of cores cut and put ...

Are there any video's of the machine in flight ??

The helicopter looked really dangerous !! That pilot almost got unnaturally de-selected by Darwin's theory. ???

Sadly I think it will rain a little more before the w/end as well :(

If the weather's OK I'll probably be there for a while in the morning I'm optimistically charging batteries at the moment :)
