Where is it Dave? Looks like an awesome day out!! Certainly a few there that I love. What an awesome opportunity!

Hmmm.... in a quandary.... want something a bit bigger than my 450, was thinking 500 but maybe a 600 is in th realm of possibility. Comparing a Goblin 500 with a Protos and Compass 6HV. Pros and cons?...

My next bird will certainly have the Ikon flybarless on it. Currently saving up for that kit as we speak ;)

Yes as Kizza mentioned it will be a case of when not if with crashing. how did you cheat Kizza?

Hey Igor, I'm new to the hobby in both helis and planes. If you have experience with building then you'll probably be ok. Your best bet is getting down to the field and having a chat with the guys ...

hahaha yes, mine has already become a hybrid, soon the tail assembley will join the list of align parts. It now has the align main shaft and servos. Canopy will be changed soon as well.... just really...

Hi Igor, Sorry hadn't noticed an email pop up to say there had been activity on this thread. Well I've bought the HK450 and well lets just say, I wish I had saved up and got something straight out of...

Hey Dave, What battery are you using with that motor?

Sweet!! thanks for that Dave. I'm actually quite excited. I'm going to get this one, and will possibly leave it looking they way it comes, except for a different canopy, but i'm going to do a project...

I might look at that motor, get the extra grunt out of the motor... or would brushless be any better? there is probably a thread on here somewhere for that. What size main drive gear are you using? I ...

Hey guys, I was also looking at some of the scale kits you can get for the HK450 like airwolf and Huey's. I'm guessing these aren't like the canopies you can just change at will, once you've converte...

I was considering that... seems cheaper to have a 2nd kit than it is to buy spares for some of these things. I'll grab a few of everything I think, as a just in case... so point getting it up and goi...

Picture showed it coming with a pinion gear. 13T pinion with 150T main gear. I did have a look first, or would you suggest still getting another pinion gear?

My thoughts are: HK 450GT Pro V2 3D ($57.99) NTM Rotor Drive 34000KV ($20.25) Turnigy Nano tech batter ($17.95) Orange Rx 6Ch with failsafe ($12.91) HK401B AVCS head lock gyro ($21.73) TGY 306 tail se...

Thanks heli... I may need to pick skidz and your brains as I look at putting one together. Trying to work out gyros and servos etc... I've heard sooo many things!! Look forward to getting something...

Whats the difference between torque tube and belt tail? 450 is quite large!! Is there anything wrong with the blade 300x? Or should I really look at that bigger model? Partly thinking ease, and money...

Hi guys, It's been a while.... I've finally gotten married, and moved and starting to settle down finally, and before the Mrs has any ideas I want to get back into my hobby. I've been flying a few ...

Hi all, It's been a while, been flat out since coming back from getting married and then moving, but finally all is starting to settle down again. Was wondering if anyone is planning on being down at ...

First of all I wanna say sorry I haven't posted or been down to the field much of late, but with wedding prep n moving house all happening of late it's been hard to gain a leave pass! So I've added ...

Hey Kieran, Any of this still around??

Thanks Frank!! Yes I have noticed my reckless lifetsyle and spending has been curtailed quite a bit already, however I have earnt myself many points at the moment and its getting time to cash in!!

I'm hoping to finally get that bit of paper filled out and have my little plane up and flying in the next few weeks!! Almost stopped paying money for wedding stuff, and can spend it on me!!

Happy Birthday Kieran, hope you have a great day!

Hey Kieran, Has anyone claimed the P47 yet? I'm interested

Happy birthday lads. Hope you've had a great day guys!!

Awesome video Steve! Aswesome plane as well!!!

Not hard to throw in the back. Will see what happens in the morning. See you in the morning

What time are people looking at going down tomorrow? Also is anyone going to be bringing a mower down? If so I can bring mine along and help clear up any other areas

I could help at a sparrows fart on fri morning if you guys want the help

Well this friday is good friday, which means I'll be off work again. If you want my help just let me know what time you'll be there

Happy to lend a hand with a mower. Just let me know

Anyone likely to be down at the field tomorrow? Happy to help mow in the arvo if anyone is going to now tomorrow?

That's impressive! Blown away by that!

Hmmmm... I like the way ur thinking! I'm sure at one stage u could get the whole lot

Sorry I couldn't get through the whole thing, was too whacked for me!

I have Friday off, I may be able to lend a hand with mowing. Just let me know...

I may just have to get it, and a joystick! Looks pretty awesome!!

Got a link or info on the game? I'd certainly be interested. In the process of trying to recover lost files on the laptop so don't want to download too much yet... but once I've at least found the pho...

There is a 73mm def version. I'm guessing at the edf size. Balsa n glass construction n foam wings. I swear I saw someone on here building one up! Warbirds n unusual planes/jets, I'll more than likel...

Hey guys, I'm sure I saw someone on here building a Het me262. Sorry haven't been able to find the signature that mentioned it. I just want to ask a few questions

Suspicions have been confirmed.... that sucks.... oh well.... can see what happens as time goes by and see how good/bad my skills become at building things down the track. Love the F4, not sure I'd be...

Hey Frank, I wish I got out of doing the clothes shopping etc, sadly the Mrs doesn't drive yet, so I'm lucky if I get free time to do the flying. Therefore I think I should be allowed to spend more co...

I have to admit I've done my fair share of smuggling and hiding financial trails... with this hobby i'm trying to be a bit more open about it, but i'm sure the old habits will kick in again... jut hav...

For something much much much further down the track, but something I had already been thinking about. Maybe something to talk about at the field with a master craftsman, but would be interested in the...

Rob I like the way you think!! I may just have to do that myself!! I'm liking the way you think! I wonder if I can get away with that.

I had been looking at the Imax b6ac. Can pick one up for about $40 at my door. Was thinking two of those could work. I do like that one on HK though, one multi charger could be worth the extra money. ...

Gotta sit down and work out what I need first. Batteries and charger/s are on the list. Also need to sit down and work out a list of things I want to build/make/assemble and what will be needed for ...

Thanks for that Steve. I have had issues with my Dean's in the RC car in trying to plug and unplug them. Been a bit of a pain at times! Frank, I'll be doing my redundancy ordering very soon as well. ...

See Frank, this is why the Mrs and I have two different paypal accounts! ;) Might work while we're engaged, but that could change once we're married later in the year.... She usually knows what I'm or...
