Thanks Jason, would have been nice to have you there for it's maiden seeing as you had a hand in choosing it's power train. Am going to restrict it to PEMAC for a while until I get used to landing the...

Thanks Frank but not too sure about "well done" unless you mean how my brain was fried during my last landing attempt. I would love to say it was my customisation, but I struggled enough with the impr...

Final finishing setup before cherry flight. I chose this switch/ampmeter wired up between BEC & it's separate battery. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...ispay.html There was a cutout in t...

Thank Gazz, at this stage can you also please confirm I am correct with BEC connection to RX

This build has been painfully slow for me. Am down to the nitty gritties of its power train & associated electrics. My understanding of the section is limited & is puzzling me. Have made connector ...

No work on this for a while, repairs on Eratix then 1500km of driving. Back home Thursday night

Haven't really done much work on the MXS-R. A few frustrations in that aileron pushrods were too long & wheel axles missing from the kit (many thanks to Hobs in the Hills for rectifying that prob, an ...

I am going to run this on 8s with an 18 x 10 prop at this stage. Even that will make this a vertical climbing monster. Thanks again for the tip Gazz. The purchased clevices had nuts included & I had ...

Sorry guys, haven't checked forum for a while. Thanks for the info & offer Gazz, went to Hobs in Hills & bought a length of fully threaded pushrod & matching clevices & now installed on wings. Pretty...

Would be impossible to swap it round as servo arm would not be centred in the slot & have a more than doubling effect of arm length error. Arm would then only swing one way. Thanks for the thought Gaz...

Already have servos from MX2 so did not have to purchase any more. Remaining purchase including 6 x 4S 3300 30-40c turnigy batteries have totalled just a tad over $800. For a quality Seagull model, I ...

And add $20 for my airframe (no postage) :leet:

I dont want to add it up, might scare the credit card back into my wallet or scare me into keeping the plane permanently out of the air. Just kidding, I love this beauty, just hope my flying progress...

I have heard nothing but praise about Seagull Models & expected a smooth run to completion. Bom Bom, looks like I am an exception to that rule. Following the instructions which are minimal, I started...

Looks like the credit card is going to take a beating. Maybe because there are no reviews for the HK speedie, maybe because I am familiar with turnigy reputation, maybe because it is something you ha...

Thanks for pointing that out Jason, looked at the amps, not the volts. 6s limit, oh well back to the drawing board.

Thanks Gazz & Jason My brain is hurting again & I cant get ecalc to work. Specs on the G160 290kv suggests 22.2v - 19x12 Prop - 75A - will achieve 6000g Thrust. More than enough as this plane is a s...

I did say I wanted to push myselt in my progression :shock: , but holy %$#@'n hell, maybe one small step for mankind, but one giant leap for this little black duck :leet:

http://seagullmodels.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=105 Have been looking at this beauty for quite some time and considered it to be my next plane, but the demise of the MX2 necessitated some retail thera...

Bugger, hadn't thought of dudding you Frank :shock: . Oh well, I suppose honesty is the best policy :twisted: On a serious note, I belong to a club which has provided me with friendship & much help a...

Sent an e-mail to modelflight in which I included: - their "Modelflight: Order Completed - 31168" e-mail to me which comfirmed "Billing and Shipping Information" for the previously mentioned order of...

Arrived home today and almost missed the courier. Good news for John Hale, his VQA039 VQ Models Magic .32 Pylon Racer Model Plane arrived but still waiting on other 2. Seems a bit odd that only 1 part...

No probs Guys, I have ordered as follows: A-ALBATROSS Awesome RC L39 Albatross Brushless EDF Jet, ARF -BDS - $99.99 HKGA122 Haikong ZLIN 50L 70e RC Plane, ARF -BDS $69.99 VQA039 VQ Models Magic .3...

Only 1 Zlin left

OK guys, I am in, the Zlin is too good to pass up on. Am happy to do the order & be re-imbursed.

Great stuff, you have to be happy

Will leave it up to the imagination of everybody who looks twice at that photo now that I have drawn attention to it. The word pleasurecraft might get a new meaning, wishful thinking could be another ...

In keeping with the family viewing likelihood on this site, I am wondering why you are showed us a picture of you getting a bit of tail (2nd pic). Given the number of months you have been working on...

Thanks guys, is ready for flight on Saturday. COG set at 30%. Placed my battery in the same position as SRL, very secure but not as mobile for changing COG. Sits sideways passing through the horisonta...

Had searched this complete thread for COG measurement & couldn't locate it. I followed the 30% rule from the leading edge (7.5cm) to get the battery in place. I was looking on RC groups for colour sch...

Thanks for the compliment. Compliment returned for your editing, excellent job. Looking forward to seeing how you edit my Pulse flight. If you edit out all the bad bits, I imagine 15 seconds should do...

My pleasure Jason. I must admit I had a fair bit of trepidation in being the cameraman. Haven't done it before and I didn't think I could keep the plane in view. I presume you edited out where I didn'...

Hey Claudio, thanks for the tip. With my semi-beginner standard of flying, any attempt at flying the 3D planes in 3D fashion on Phoenix only ever resulted in white knuckles holding the tx, endless cra...

Well done Jason, you certainly put a lot of work into the Willow's Cup. Beer taps or not, your efforts match your enthusiasm. But with beer taps it would need to be a lot bigger for all the volunteers

Will see your Katana and raise you 1 HK F4U Corsair. (Crashed first 7 flights before giving up). Mick is not joining these ranks

You'll be right Mick, I have dibs on maiden flight crashes ie. moneyshot

Always happy to donate to worthy causes. I like the eternal gratitude bit as well

I have some spare spare 60 x 19 mm wheels with to suit 2.5mm axle. Also have a pair 10mm wide.

No probs, will pick up tomorrow at lunch. Seven Hills is on the way home for me, can drop it at your house. Email me your address .

Sounds like you are having fun Mick, waiting for things to dry out from a sloppy mess. Same as the rest of us, but you sand after drying instead of mowing. Presume you are using the silk I got for yo...

Oops & fixed. Admiration for all builders

Heaps of admiration for your work Mick, I still consider myself very much a novice in the RC aircraft hobby, still struggling in it's intricacies. Hope one day to do more than just look on as others p...

Picked up a metre today but made a mistake with the price, hope you ok with $14.99. Ooops still making mistakes, $4.99. But you can choose which price you want to pay.

No probs, will pick up an off white metre tomorrow

Dropped into a Penrith fabric shop and they had Bem Silk Lining @ $5.95 per metre, happy to pick it up for you if you tell me how many metres required. White & off white both available.

Or lincraft in Parra Westfields. Will look anyway

I have been told that Cabramatta is the clothing material capital of Sydney. There are a few fabric shops that I walk past on my way to work at Penrith & will enquire for you. Colour?

Have a great birthday Paul, keep 'em coming, there's room for plenty more birthdays.

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

Looks great Gazz, I remember you describing the troublesome mods necessary to convert to electric, but with the results I see, I can understand why you persisted. Here's hoping it flies as good as it ...
