Awesome stuff, That's what some people call real aero-modelling.

I've repaired big Artemis after her trip out west to Boggabri. mainly it was only the nose wheel and the former that it mounted to. She's been upgraded with a much better camera for the video link and...

Positioning of receiver antennas is very important, it's quite easy do reduce your reception by less than optimal receive antenna placement!! Antennas in close proximity to wires or carbon frames are...

Did a little more today

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...

Have fun flying today Guys !! I'm keen to go for a fly tomorrow as I have the day off, if the weather holds. I might see if I can organise to pick up a key from you Gazz or perhaps you'll be there...

Super nice Job There Towelly and the Herns Hobbies embalem on the Verticle fin is a great touch !! I really like the Pull pull system for the controll surfaces. I'll bet Herns Hobbies never stocked...

Kieran gave me the good info on how to fix the "undefined" problem so I managed to fix that up. Thanks for that Kieran !! The upshot is that I can popst again YAY !!!! So to celi...

Claudio and I found this, and it's a lot of fun for only $USD 5.00 you can get a lot of crashes out of the way before you even fly It works with the pirate Phoenix USB dongle from deals extreme and p...

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 !!

Is there a concrete weir in that red square on the picture you posted ? I wonder why that was put in during 2011 ?? [hr] If the shackle was taken off the post and the chain shackled to the bar or th...

The rarebear and the spare bear have been given a good going over for the maitland Pylon day this comming Sunday. Motors have been removed and the rotors nicely balanced two new (and legal mi...

Due to the inclement weather I've spent a little tinkering with this today One thing I did notice when trial fitting the aileron hinges was that the slots cut for the outer two in the port wing ...

Nice spotting Gazz, It would be great to have the space to fly a machine like that The Hanger girl looks high maintenance tho', at least she's got her flying boots on :D

Some footage from today shifted to another area

Cool looks like 2014 will be an interesting year for EF1 The invictus should be a fast plane

Heading for vinyard now[hr] Just got to vineyard no one here yet Hopefully somone will arrive with a key soon :)

A little more improvement this time to the connecting rods. These things get to flail around pretty hard down there in the crank case, I didn't want to take too much meat off them but I did want to ma...

Welcome Shane, Drop by any weekend that the weather's good, all the usual suspects will be there :) And all will be more than happy to bend your ear for hours on the subject of...

I got one of these quite a while ago and started doing a bit od work on putting it together, now That Yak no 2 is sorted out I thaught I might continue with this one. It's quite a nicely ma...

A glider rather old glass fuse needs some TLC wings are two piece for transport and made form wood. Wing are OK covering needs an Iron to smooth out a couple of wrinkles tho. 0412 994 596

The new bearing have improved things a lot I took it for a quick test flight this arvo just before the sun went down It seemed to go nicely. It certainly is a hoot to fly with a 4S pack and ...

Anyone flying anywhere this weekend ??

You should have told her that it needs a new 2000W out runner and and a 100A ESC and it would be probably be OK :) Mate I've been stocking up on brownie points this weekend, Got all the ...

Too Drunk to Fly Wrote: (09-07-2014, 12:48 PM) -- G'day Jason, Sorry I must have had too many beers last night and forgot about a family commitment I have Saturday. I can make it Sunday to take thi...

I did some more testing with the 4 way diversity box from HK with the four 12.6 db helical antennas I made and it's been working brilliantly. I found I could fly anywhere in McCoy park with out e...

good luck tomorrow Wayne !! I'm sure it'll go well.

Heading down to the field now

I'm not sure that it would work out cheaper because the blade theory comes with camera and VTX and antenna all ready to go. Plus my gut feel is the teksumo probably won't be stiff enough not to flutte...

Here's the Box the shoestring now lives in. I made this so it wouldn't get damaged while being transported in the trailer. It's much easier to store like this at home too. I've made a couple of th...

Gazz, That is true but if you hold it too steady for too long you seem to get like a ring vortex going and loose aileron control, you need to stir it up a little now and then but not like he was doing...

Manta, would you mind posting a link to the plug and fly MX2? If it's the one I'm thinking about I don't think you really need to change the servos just because they don't have metal gears or are on...

Wayne I couldn't agree more, Safety first, allways, you do not want to get bitten by a snake that's for sure. And you are right some people can be very susseptable and others not so much. Also it's...

You've convinced me Gazz !! I'll keep the clevices. :) What motor are you running in yours? I've ordered the 2836 -2300KV http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7993 ...

Absolute CLASSIC !! That's even better than the Indian bloke who rang up with the wrong number last night and asked to speak to Mashid. True story, I nearly dropped the phone trying to tell him...

Thanks john That would be greatly appreciated if you can spare them I want to connect two to make a 24v supply and I found an article on the net about how to go about it For both types of supply

It will have a fuse a bit like the first Artemis but a bit slipperier The big one is set up for FPV just been waiting for the field to dry out a little to take it out for a fly. should get it down t...

Perhaps we can we'll put it to the lads at Nowra. gotta be lucky on the 4th attempt ??

They definatly race EF1 in the NSW Pylon days. I saw them when I was out there, they seem to be about the same speed as the Q 500s (thunder tiger 46 powered Vipers) and they races them in heats with t...

Last coat of paint !!.............. Few........ It's not a perfect finish but it should make a nice mould. After pulling the plug out of the mould any blemishes will be little pips sticking u...

Looks all right Bob I quite like the idea of a dirty section for the ESC's motors etc and the clean section for the flight controller and cameras

G'day Arancini, Welcombe to the forum !! I will certainly be down at the field on Satterday morning if the weather's good Your more than welcombe to drop by, have a chat, and ...

You can just get some solder type SMA conectors and some semi ridged coax and make one up try to keep it a multiple of 1/2 wave length long. For 5.8 that's a multiple of about 26mm as a wavelength is ...

Sounds like your making progress with it Wayne !! Photos ?? :)

Thanks for taking and Posting that Video Paul !! The launch was pretty hairy and the cross wind didn't help much :) Cheers Jason

Work has started on a plug for a fuse mould. It's mad from Sugger pine, mainly because I had a nice peice laying around and it's very nice timber to work with. Balsa would probably have been bett...
