Like I said, no obligation, will not break the bank if not sold & can be stored until I gain confidence in its build. By the way Stinson is no longer up a tree (your signature)

Hi Claudio, Mini Angel wing ribs are first covered with balsa & then film, making it impossible to see the ribs. Poking a carbon rod down the wing spar hole, I was able to determin ribs are spaced app...

Now that is a nice glider, very much upping the size, but ouch, has upped the ante somewhat. Maybe he could go one of these http://www.gfa.org.au/imis15/GFA/Classifieds/GFA/Member_Services_Content/Cla...

Hi Claudio, at a PEMAC swap meet, I bought a Mini Angel 2.6m glider, Balsa wing & fibreglass body. I think I bit off more than I can chew in getting it to flying condition (no electrics supplied) and...

Great stuff Gazza, will look just as impressive in the sky, I will be there to see the maiden.

Hi Kieran, am thinking of taking Jason's advice of getting the moneyshot as a practice model. (If you can re-hinge controls, it will add to the enticement) Mixing Jason's & Gaz's posts (wonder how peo...

What an awesome display of unbelievable RC planes, was the most entertaining day I have had for a long time. One jet overshadowed all others with it's 400 kph + passes & super G turns. I know Gary wa...

Greetings from Nowra, wishing all a merry Xmas. Been to Bunnings 3 times a day since arrival but settling in nicely. Still can't find plane batteries so have only enjoyed SMFC's hospitality so far. Lo...

Merry christmas one & all. May Santa be kind and the good fortune of health wealth & happiness come your way in the New Year. Stay safe over the silly season & I look forward to joining you at the ...

I wont be flying Sunday either, I am being relied upon for transport to south coast golf

Some crazy airports out there. Gave me an appreciation that our airfield, on scale, matches some of the most extreme real airstrips. Proves that if we can fly and land at our field, we can fly anywher...

Worlds most extreme Airports. On now channel 7

Great stuff Jason, will be worth the trip to wherever you fly them just for the spectacle

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...

If I am to photoshop myself into the picture, would like to include the 3.3m piper pawnee as my possession on the day

Thanks Smuzz, like the eratix, it makes me look like a good pilot. Is just a nice stable flier.

Maiden went reasonably uneventful at Pemac. Ample throttle & lift saw it float effortless up to a good height for trim check & adjustments. At 2/3 throttle it wanted to climb dramatically, rectified...

Nice flight Jason. Hope mine performs as well, although there are some differences. Firstly although my Bipe has a 25% greater wingspan, it has double the weight and thirdly the things that control th...

That is the plan, weather permitting. Willey's forecast 65% chance light rain, 25-35kph wind :([hr] Spec build weight 2.1kg, actual 2.3kg :( . Thrust test 2.8kg :) , approx 1.2:1 thrust to weight

Just my luck, dont find out until after I buy them. is definitely a disadvantage, but hey they have been beautiful models ie. MXSR & Rhapsody. By the way the MXSR hanging up at Hobs in the Hills is mi...

As I said in my first post on this thread, the instructions provided, meant that I did not have to ask too many questions. Probably one of my quickest ARF builds to date. A few little hickups along th...

Have had a habit of recent of choosing a plane on Phoenix similar to a plane I intend to maiden. The closest plane found so far that this could have been modelled after is a Stearman Royal Rhapsody an...

Finished the build and now just waiting for an oportunity to maiden. Being a discontinued model, so are the optional extras, most importantly the dummy motor to cover the gaping opening in the front...

Will have to look after it, I think it is a discontinued model. Yeh, I loved the video too, great looking slow & snap rolls. I have tried to find out if it is modelled after a real plane but have ha...

Darn toot'n it will be well powered, same power train as my first set-up of my old Pulse (similar weight)which had it flying over 150 clicks, difference will be that I will be pitching down on the pro...

Thanks Claudio & I do agree with it's looks. You had me stumped for a while Gazz, had to google Exocoetidae :lol: , well done. Although I am hoping you are not referring to Potanichthys xingyiensis o...

OMG :shock: what am I doing, took a trip to Hobbies in the Hills today and started looking at planes to make use of the motors from deceased planes and came home with this. http://www.e-fliterc.com/...

I would say bugger & that sucks too, except the only part I understood was "I can't get one until Easter is over so the Logo is grounded", so I will tone it down to "never mind, it's time will come" :...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Looks like you will have a high demand for your services Andre. I am sure all will benefit from your experience & you will received a well deserved thank you. I am sure I speak for all & thank you for...

I do like model flight in Adelaide as an Australian distributer. $224 with free shipping is not bad. You are likely to eventually upgrade later, but you wont lose much if you sell it later when upgrad...

No probs Frank, you can have first bid on Saturday

Beats storing it at home eh Chris :lol: . Was going to auction it off but by the time I noticed it didnt belong to anybody, there weren't enough people to get a reasonable bid. Will start the biddi...

Somebody keeping Smuzz company at the field today left their fold up chair behind. I have brought it home with me & will bring it to the field next Saturday.

Gaz gave me some of that velcro strapping, good stuff. I have also bought a 5m roll of 25mm 2 sided velcro from Bunnings (Velcro Reusable Wrap) strong enough to hold a house brick.

Another good call Gazz, should be ready for HMAS Saturday flyin. Just waiting on 4S 5000mAh batteries from HK ordered today

Cant see anywhere in the instructions for supplying an air outlet to promothe airflow through the plane for cooling esc & batteries. Do I need to bother & if so could I have a suggestion or location o...
