Given my thread calling for opinions on my intended purchase of the BF109 Messerschmitt I can hardly blame Pete for confusing my P47 Thunderbolt. Thank you Kieran for doing the honours of take-off & s...

Where I live, we have no grass & I therefore did not replace my worn out unstartable mower. Am happy to lend a labouring hand though. Will get there as early as possible.

To all those going away this weekend, stay safe. The art of a safe holiday is to aim at your destination, miss anything inbetween & return the same way. Sorry to near plagiarise BOM says no rain Fr...

In the boating world, the rule when approaching an oncoming vessel, is to pass to the right (american road rules). Do any such rules exist for our flying. Eg. from left to right swerve down & visa ver...

I pick up copies of Q&EF from the newsagent in Winston Hills mall, but I'm sure it would be available elsewhere. [/quote] Picked up Feb 11 issue of Q&EF today, the depron Fantom jet plans look int...

Thanks for that Mick, a lot of cutting & taping to start with. Once I have done this, I will strain the brain & decide if it is within my scope. Were there any further instructions that came with the ...

Probably because so far I am only a buddy pilot, I am getting as much enjoyment out if putting together the foamies I have bought so far. The work needed to get a HK foamie in the air is a good starti...

Happy birthday Kieran, hope you have a good day, my!! how time flies not just the planes. Cheers

What should now be reasonably obvious (it is to me), I am obsessed with progressing to more advanced planes to cater for my future needs. I think I need to slow this down by catering for another desi...

Hi Bob, I purchased Turnigy 3s 20-30c 1600mah batteries for my HK Cessna. Measures 95 x 33 x 25mm weighing a tad over 140g. I will be there on the weekend and you are welcome to a test fit. $10.99 fr...

Another well researched reply & again thanks Steve. My continuing research landed me at the Horizon Hobby site ( http://www.horizonhobby.com/ ) who tend to stock a lot of PZ planes & much like HK yo...

Maybe when Steve & I in formation, take care of the mustang, you may have raise your hand and give a "Sieg Heil" to us[hr] Am still researching for my choice, difficulty in landing seems to be the maj...

Thanks Steve, that provides me with all the clarity I need. You may be a learner yourself, but what you are saying makes perfect sense. Am now happier to snap up the bargain & let it await my learnin...

I recall seeing a few other PZ warplanes at Hobbies in the Hills at reasonable prices, it was just that the BF109 at such a cheap price that sparked my interest. The did not have a T28 (maybe all sold...

Thanks, excellent advice fellas, might bite the bullet and strike while the price is hot & wait for the enthusiasm to cool down before flying.

Thanks Mick, your comments regarding the T28 are appreciated & are similar to what I have previously heard at the club. I am not disputing the points value of the T28. Given that I am learning on my H...

Thanks for the comments Steve and I had full intention of letting it hibernate with my HK F4U Corsair until I am ready to stick twitch it with the big guys. I believe I am advancing reasonably quickly...

Thanks guys, will discuss more at length in person if anybody flies tomorrow. BOM says 40% chance of showers tomorrow. Dont know how field stood up today. Failing negative replies about T109, I may ha...

On the subject of new planes, visited Hobbies in the Hills today, just to see what was there. They had a Parkzone Messerschmitt Bf-109G PNP with an 1105mm wingspan on special for $169. Following my d...

Many thanks Steve for the offer of a piece of Depron to replace the fuselage underside that flew off my Apprentice. Although it defied insurmountable odds by spin-falling & landing sticky side down on...

Took Ingo's advice & advanced to a larger plane. Broke the piggy bank and wandered over to Liverpool & bought a 1.45m E-flite Apprentice. Have the other half on a day out on Saturday and was looking f...

That guy on the demo certainly showed his ability to throw an obviously manoeverable machine around. Unfortunately to my untrained eye, it just ;ooked like it was out of control & readyto crash most o...

Many thanks to John & Kevin for your assistance Saturday. I really appreciate your contributions to my huge learning curve. Please let me know if I am consuming too much of your "flying time". Did n...

Thanks Ingo, Followed instructions very carefully, even managed to find "reset'. A glimmer of successful fulfilment filled my grey matter when the "oh Susanna" tune eminated from the ESC and the pro...

Thanks to all. Frustration setting in. Have tried every suggestion & feel like I am fighting a losing battle. Will bring to field on Saturday & try for some live help. Apologies to all whose time I h...

Thanks steve, but excuse my ignorance for terminologies. As Pauline Hanson says "Please edxplain":D[hr] pardon my typing too

Thanks for the reply Kieran, Followed instructions which appeared to work, however prop, although did respond to throttle, did not return to zero and idled over. Disconnected battery, turned off rad...

A vote of thanks to all who have made me feel so welcome. A special mention to John Hale who intiiated me into the watching my plane doing a vertical landing. I surprised myself at how calmly I acce...
