You can see it suffers from a little bit of break up behind the trees but this is pretty good for 5.8 gHz there's also a bit of break up on the edges of the antenna's beam, It's quite directional wit...

I even set it up for FPV and did fly it FPV a few times http://youtu.be/fGz0UhhzpL4 It still has all the gear in it too

G'day James, Welcome to the forum, I usually get down to the field between 9 and 10 but often there will be someone arriving there between 8:30 and 9:00. Normally if the weather's nice there will b...

Nice Videos bob !! I might give one of those a go at some stage

Indoor is great fun!!

I might join you If I can get away from work early

Still waiting for the new paint gun to arrive so in the mean time decided to do some work on the wing. I was not sure whether the 1mm thick polyethylene sheet would take the compound curved shape ...

A bit of video of Stephen's bipe flying yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LghOUjCJZY&feature=youtu.be

It certainly had enough power to haul it around the sky today!! That was a nice piece of flying despite of the added difficulty of having really large control throws on elevator and having the C ...

Ranjit takes the Dynamite for a fly while I aim the camera http://youtu.be/8NDp2inZ7Ic

If your using Phoenix flight sim then there is an option in the view menu to keep the ground in view I find this helpful when trying to place the model on the right approach for landing.

C'morn Gazz, It's not that far off topic I think they are discussing the motor options for the depron extra 330s that SRL mentions are for sale for $30 in the opening post of ...

It would be good we could do some of that I'll bring down some of the bushcare bags and I'll contact Talia and ask if the council could pick them up and take them away

Thanks Frank, The wing on this plane so thin that even micro servos stick out through the bottom surface. I haven’t flown it with the new fairings on yet, but it should make for a reasonable r...

Wow didn't that make a mess !!

Well Here it is, One strong, light, accurate and thin wing section, ready to have the ailerons cut out and hinged, the tips shaped and some Iron film applied. At this stage the wi...

Excellent Gazz well done !! Sounds like a lot of fun !! It's nice to have an airfield at work :)

Something powered by Glow for a change ??? And of course the inevetable deadstick landing in the first minute.......Oh the smell of Caster Windy day flying out west http://www.youtube.c...

What a brilliant weekend it was Down at Nowra!! I caught up with Wayne who very kindly put us up on Friday and Saturday night. It was really good to have a chat about flying and old times. P...

The mounts needed to be cleaned up as the old glue is quite tacky and probably wouldn't make for a good bond with the epoxy if left on. I scraped it off with an exacto knife and remove the shine off t...

Hi Wayne, Glad to hear things went well!! Take it easy mate I hope your not in too much discomfort. We all whish you a speedy recovery and hope to catch up soon

Me too Fantastic effort guys!!

Gotta be happy with that Wayne

It is noisy with that prop but not way over the top. I've got a couple of Graupners on order That should quiet it down a bit.

Nice explanation Claudio!!, I wonder what difference the induction caused by the 240v being 50hz AC makes to the overall impedance of the globe ?? It would be lower than just a factor of 10 as the 24V...
