Working at Penrith I often get to see local papers and the Roulettes formation caught my eye. This is promoted as the biggest flyover ever with up to 200 planes involved including the Roulettes. Copie...

Are you one of the many people suffering from Triskaidekaphobia. :shock: Perhaps this is the reason so few of us turned up to fly today. Personally I thought it best to test it's validity on the first...

As soon as they invent lipo powered reverse cycle clothing :twisted:

Permission not necessary, Chris. You appear to be of a good character which will fit in well with our club. I quite enjoyed your display of willingness to learn both from what we have to say & your ow...

Initial read had me curious as to the credibility of the stated finds & conclusions, That was until I finished reading about the Aussie's report & then began much laughter. That happens so rarely read...

That looks awesome Jason, shame you wont be able to fly it at McKoy. Surprised at the weight tho, not much different in size to your Yak 55 but 2kg heavier. Guess that is the price you pay for fuel po...

$10 to fly, free to watch. Micro slow fliers or ultra light 3d models are the go, Vapour will be in it's element. There will also be some free flight models powered by rubber bands.

Email received from Graham, "Greetings Funsters Just a reminder that Indoor Flying is on again next week – Wednesday, 6 May, 7.30-10.30 pm – Hills Adventist College, Cnr Hezlett and Gum Nut Close, K...

Thought I saw an ugly fella playing the drum. Hope you are better with those sticks :-) .

Welcome to our club & the forum Tim. Our club officially has use of the field Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays. The field is indeed likely to be a bit soggy this weekend and unmowed. Our forum is ver...

Nice find Steve, have a good range on their website and a few $ cheaper than Modelflight.com.au and certainly much cheaper than local stores. Must take a trip there one day to see what stock is availa...

The Committee has set the club fees as detailed below. Renewing Senior - $50 + $MAAA = $150

Sujit as a new member you do not yet have access to the members only section of the forum. However you should have received an email from our secretary Kevin giving you renewal instructions. Unless ...

Thanks for that Pete but I called in at Kelletts on the way home from golf yesterday and bought a pair of wheels. A bit bigger in diameter than wanted but ideal in width. I will make a spacer to take ...

Lost the tail wheel off my PA Ultimate today, can anybody help me out as suitably sized wheel unable to be found at Ultimate Hobbies or RC Hobbies Auburn. 20 - 25 mm & max 9mm width.

By the time I joined the club, both of you had started to reduce the frequency of your appearances at the club. Nonetheless I have enjoyed your company & wish you both all the best when you persue you...

May we all be blessed with health, wealth & happiness in 2013. Many happy flights & safe landings. Cheers, Wayne

An awesome site, many things tickle my fancy, tickled so hard, burst into laughter. The toilet bowl coffee cup or Beer Bottle Chandelier & Suit Pajamas to name just a few. Margaret wont let me have th...

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...

Not good news Andrew, hope the surgery goes well for you. Try flying model planes instead of running, that way you will only wear out batteries, not knees. Will be good to hear the speakers from your ...

Anybody going to the airshow this weekend. Would be nice to catch up with a few guys. http://www.wingsoverillawarra.com.au/

Craig got stung by one of them during the last bushcare day and stated the next day that the pain had increased rather than subside. I imagine in Europe there are more than 1 species of wasp and which...

Regardless of the timeframe, it is still a reminder of our safety needs. We have had quite a few new members since the last similar story hit our forum. Whilst we try to impress upon our newbies the n...

This is not the first report of a fatality from remote planes and they have been reported in a lot of countries. A similar post last year gave rise to a tirade of examples of accidents causing deaths ...

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 ...

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.

I have vague memories of building a Cessna style balsa/tissue/dope rubberband powered airplane when I was 10ish. My interest died as quickly as the plane did after many hours of building. Didn't give ...

Would be lovely to have & fly, shame we cant fly at Kellyville any more :twisted:

Thanks Andre, I bow to your knowledge and in my defence about "too high" comment, was not from my own research, just repeating what has been said to me from an undisclosed source :leet: .

Lots higher will actually reduce the life of the battery. A little bit extra not too bad. I will leave it up to the gurus to pass on the intricacies.

Ask the question to 5 different people & get 5 different answers. Don't get talked into a high C rating to deliver more power than necessary, will shorten the life of the battery. Before I souped up m...

Hope you can fly it as good as it looks!

Glad things turned out all right for the flight & your eyes. For the life of me I cannot think why people think that to be entertaining. Whether or not they think the laser light would just be annoyin...

Geeez, Steve & Gaz arguing the age stuff, I am 7 years older than both of you and just starting out. So I am reaping the rewards of having a young instructor help me to gaining my wings & I thank him ...

Got home from Darwin 8.00am this morning after the red-eye flight (1.45 am Darwin time 2.15 Sydney time). Time now for some shut-eye under the doona for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. Brrrrrrrrrrr.

Just got back from Darwin Aeromodellers Club. Tarred 150m runway plus numerous cross strips. Mostly big gassers being flown. Margaret happily sat in car while I chatted. Payback is that I do the same...

The guy who came to the door was as unhappy with reception as we were and was glad he put the door chain on. Am back at Darwin now without an occupancy dispute but had to visit Woollies in the morning...

Arrived at motel im Kakadu, was given key to room 5 mins before close. Opened room & already occupied. Raced back to reception & was shut. Knocked on door until answered & was given key to an upstairs...

Arrived 1.00am, up at 5.00. On bus at Kakadu after river cruise. Cant work out how to add photos on my phone.

Broken Hill is a surprisingly big town, plenty of shops. But flying should improve out of site, there is bugger all else to do out here once you've finished being dragged to all the art galleries & ...

Today's tour guide asked me to pass on the notice that their planes are bigger & faster. I wonder if they are aware of our Rare Bear racing team or Samste's suped up EDF striker. Was thinking of invit...

It has a very long & wide runway fully fenced. It is flat & smoothed red soil unvegetated. Only trouble would be that after rain you would have to wait an hour for the surface water to disappear & may...

On the way back from a guided tour our guide stopped for me to photograph Broken Hills flying club venue. Shelters, setup tables, toilets & NO MOWING What an excellent setup & only 1100km drive...

Hope my comments did not sound critical of the P47. Is a good plane that lives up to Parkzone's good reputation, just not suitable for the rank novice that I was at the time.

I bought one of these before my first Trojan which was a bit of a mistake whilst still very much a beginner level pilot. Torque roll left on take-off is a consistant characteristic & with eliptical wi...
