Sorry George, have promised a day out with the other half today. Next weekend maybe or if more urgent, ring me, My phone number available in members only thread

At the field today, I picked up 2 screws with knurled knobs. I believe they are used to screw wings onto the fuse. Anybody missing these screws, I still have in my possession.

Thanks guys, they all look great and for me is a toss-up between the HK Air Racing Nemesis & the E-flite Advance. 2 things lean me towards the Advance 1. e-flite & HK are chalk & cheese in that order ...

Just had a walk on field. From SE end of field is firm underfoot until pilot box but from there on has pooled water & all with surface water. Is flyable if able to complete landing left to right befor...

Cumulus-paininarsus, means no flying & soggy rolls for the sausages and a trip to PEMAC on Sunday

Am always happy to fly, but I don't trust willey. Am always happy for a sausage sizzle too (my favourite meat). Have found a way to assist the diet with them. If you break them in half before you eat...

Was browsing the Hobbyking.com site (as most of us do) and noticed this medium sized trainer plane http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12944__Wilga_2000_R_C_Airplane_w_ESC_Motor_Servo_and_Float...

Looks great Steve, how unusual for you to up the ante on the motor. But I wanna see the 90mm EDF conversion that you are renowned for.

Not a problem Jason, battery & charger in car from PRCAC flying and power went to a worthy cause. Was an awesome sight watching some very quick planes that showed the Rare Bears what speed really was....

From memory yesterday was the first time I actually maidened a plane by myself although thankfully I had Gazza standing beside me as a security blanket and a potential pass the parcel recipient if nec...

Well done george, looked a cracker in the air, but cant help bad luck with the landing.

A few cliches spring to mind - if you're on a good thing, stick to it. - if it aint broken, don't fix it. Will be nice to see you flying your favourite again, I agree with your comments on colour, ...

Not flying this weekend, am taking my boat away to Culburra Beach for a fishing weekend. Good luck guys for what appears to be perfect flying conditions.

17. Planes welcome the pilot into the cockpit as often as they want

I will be there tomorrow as well. My son Dean is coming for a look-see for the first time, hopefully my younger son Neil as well. For all you dads out there, whether you are flying or not, happy fathe...

Willey predicts wind 7-8kph early tomorrow morning picking up to 14 k's 10am & 16 k's at noon, not too bad for flying but does anybody know how much rain fell this arvo on the field. I had a decent d...

Well done guys, 2 great sites for this thread. All you newbies out there, please note I always recommend the E-Flite Apprentice as the best beginner plane and frontline hobbies have a Plug N Play in s...

My intention for this thread was not scare tactics, in reality I do not fear snakes nor believe in their eradication as they serve their purpose in life by eradicating vermon. I believe I have a healt...

I totally agree with you Jason, but I dont think you have fully covered the topic. I dont believe we should treat even the remotest chance of accidently cornering or standing on a snake in the scrub l...

Those of you who are also PMAC members would have received an email from Mark Fenlon notifying that a red belly black snake has been sighted active at their Hart Field. I am not sure if Joe Blakes fre...

Samste & I will at the field 8ish to see if the field has suffered too much from Thursdays rain. Will post at that time if field is flyable or if we are heading to PEMAC

Will be there to join you, am also hoping for ok conditions. Want to see how the Eratics performs on our "postage stamp" (a Claudio quoted description)

My other half didn't laugh much at this one, but I nearly wet myself laughing. Obviously different humour appeals to different folks. I think I am a different folk. Cheers for that one, but aren't the...

Thanks steve, but still not sure about elevator control horn, can you elaborate please. Landing gear in place, intend soldering extra cross wire as you did.

New plane, time to hit the Q&A thread :D . Finally got the HK Silent ( Extra 300s lookalike. Major difference underside missing the flat section). Q.1 As per parts list there are 4 control horns but ...

Am in Dubbo for 4 days, so I cant be volunteered for anything, sorry. Would have been the bad example if required, dont need to act

Welcome back Kev, sorry wont be able to catch up on weekend to hear about your trip, am off to Dubbo for a few days

Hi Alex & welcome to our forum. The RC aircraft world for me started when I saw our guys perform their magic at Parramatta Park, Australia Day 2011. I was invited to our field to meet the guys, ask ...

Thanks for the well wishes Ben. I expect to be there shortly after 8, dependent on when Steve opens. Forecasted winds early mornings are from SW early swinging to from the south later all under 20kph...

Thanks Steve, will join you, always wanted to be a Kamikaze

Sorry to have opened this can of worms after voicing my concerns about the wind Willy Weather correctly forecasted today (thankfully the 75% chance of rain proved unsubstantiated). Forecast for tomorr...

Was looking on Willywaether, as many of our members do, which can be searched location specific. Probably the reason why nobody has posted that they are flying today. Margaret & I both had yesterday o...

Wind skills are indeed a wisely attained skill, but last time I flew in the winds predicted for today, was not just me who succumbed to the accompanying turbulence created by the trees surrounding our...

Just had a look at Willyweather, 75% chance of 1-5mm r**n, expected w**ds 20-30kph from 9am, so I will be opting for ways other than flying to fill in time. Tomorrow has more tolerable w**ds and flyab...

Thought you sold the mrs :D

Have an enjoyable trip to Honkers Mick, Hobby King is available on line, cant imagine you will find anything different but I know the enticement of Hobby Shop visits. See you bright and early Gazz, a...

Sounds like fun, but is it wise to drop voltage that low, I have been told less that 3.7v on a regular basis will reduce the life of a Lipo. I normally avoid below 3.8v

If you read back in this post you will see mention of mode 1 being a more favourable transmitter. Although I think mixing mode 1 & 2 in buddy cord links is possible (dont rely on me for this, and I a...

Come down to the field, you will find Noobsville has a larger population than you think. It's just that a few have lived there a bit longer :D PS. The previously mentioned Eflite Apprentice is featur...

Hi Kev & welcome to our forum. I noticed on your other thread, that you have (for this hobby) tight budget restrictions. The start up costs can eat quite heavily into the budget, namely a reputable tr...

I dont really own any planes that I am comfortable landing on only half of the strip and am keen to get some Eratix flying in, so am off to PEMAC again today. Just hoping that the wind keeps at bay. A...

Sorry Steve, was kind of you to offer, should have also expressed that it may have offered a little extra grip for the first car, but hardly worth the effort or cost.

Plus a metre if bluemetal & a few bags of cement & it would be on the money

Had been merrily watching Willeys wind forecast decrease for Saturday, eagerly anticipating a fly at McCoy with the Eratix. Then comes the rain, has been a miserable Groundhog Day type repeat at our f...

I stand corrected and apologise to SRL if my comments were derogatory in any way. I have ordered the HK Silent 3D flier, which although is a bit heavier, I think the extra weight will suit the chalk &...

Crikeys, all goodies on back order :upset: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18969__Turnigy_D2836_8_1100KV_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor.html seems comparable but nearly adds 10% total plane wei...

Thanks Steve, can anybody recommend a power setup for me, HK suggest 1000 - 1200 kv, many on HK of varying diameter & length, not sure what will fit. I know turnigy plush speedies to be reliable, but ...

Nothing wrong with the eratix, just wanting something cheaper to practice the 3D before pushing the Eratix beyond aerobatics. Was talking to SRL at Hurstville indoor flying last thursday & he was quo...
