One thing I will mention is that the Lipo pack on my one of these is held on by velcro straight on the side of the fusealage. I used deans plugs and never had a problem, on a vary rare ...

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 ...

That looks great !! I see there's been no dumped rubbish since the "video surveillance" sign went up ;)

My one has had twenty, five minuet flights, allready this week (since Monday) will do another 5 tomorrow morning if the weather's permitting. It's the usual morning ritual The plane is nea...

I had a geat morning !! managed to get in 10 flights with the rarebear, weather or not it will be enough to make a difference at Marulan we'll have to wait and see, conditions were certainly chalangi...

Thanks Wayne, I've been making some more progress with them this week despite feeling a bit under the weather Here's some more pics of the progress thus far [hr] kizza42 Wrote: (15-10-...

Bugger ay don't ya hate it when that happens ?? You could allways get your self a RareBear nothing to put together and a great little flyer! Fits the bugget too !!

Yes Gazz is right the more mAh the more capacity the pack has, this is similar to having a bigger fuel tank, but it also governs the max power you can draw at any one time. because to find your ma...

Will post pics soon

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...

G'day George, Welcome aboard !!

Thanks Gazz, I see he has, the one I used, listed as well !! :)

I was down there early afternoon and it was pretty good No probs driving in tho there were the usual puddles but it was very flyable

George How did you go with the HK Katana? have you flown it yet? My little yellow edge is about that size and I've got an Eflight 10 in it and I runing with a 3S 1300 lipo pack. It's got enough grunt...

Well it's off to Marulan for the weekend !! If anyones keen to come down on Sunday to have a go or watch the days racing or both Post up or give me a call. It's not that far from Sydney and it's a g...

It didn't fly out of range, the reciever hung. It was on but it just locked up. It didn't brown out either it just went into "lights on but no one home mode". And stayed like that till I disconne...

Very cool, Looks like you've got it flying great !! I don't know that I'd get away with flying in the kitchen !! Was there any paint missing from the walls? [hr] Here's a bit video from Saturda...

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...

Awesome!! That should be a HOOT !! looking forward to seeing it fly!!

The field is looking good !! You should see a few less reeds at the end of the strip as well :)

Gazz your right, I guess it's designed to fly at speed and take high G's and retain it's energy well so I reckon it has to have a bit more beef to it. The PC9 certainly does that and flies very ni...

You might try contacting these people and asking the dimentions of the 4 blade props they sell You never know you might get lucky http://www.hobby-paradise.com/en/product/item/376/product_deta...

Very scary stuff

I'd get in contact with omp and ask for the manual back as well Like Steve and Gazz says make sure you have turned on your TX just before you Fire up the RX My receivers flash too if I turn on the RX ...

Well the engine runs and runs pretty well It's doing a solid 10,000 rpm even with 25% oil in the fuel I'm hoping it will pick up still more with a leaner meaner 18% oil Here's the engine moun...

That is AWSOME !!! Imagine feeding those two thursty merlins?? 60-80 gallons an hour each !!

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 :)

Not sure how many of our members read Radio Control Model News. It is quite a good read!! We as a club managed to get a positive word in this edition. Many thanks to Jeremy!! Perhaps it will help make...

I never have my TX hanging from a neck strap while I'm walking carying a plane to or from the flight line. That's asking for trouble I allways cary my TX from the carry handel on the top wi...

Your right Gaz you do get what you pay for, I brought two orange receivers the other day just to give them a go on my depron foamies and get my good spectrum receivers back for other projects. ...

With the antenna's I often glue (with hotmelt glue) short peices of drinking straws in, where I want antennas to go and when I put the reciever in place, I slide the antenna wire up into the straws....

I'm at the field and it's quit nice a little breeze but nothing harsh I'll be here for about another 40 mins

Was that 30A ESC the original one that came with the plane or was that another one you put in?

What an absoluetly sensational day !! The weather was perfect, the times were fast, the racing was super close as well. There was only one crash for whole day, which was a mid air between Micky T and...

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...

wow thats impressive George !!

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...

That's a classic !! Ya gotta love that Jason
