800 size!! Man that's HUGE, considering a 700 is the same as a 90 nitro machine! That would fit a BIG turbine too. :)

Dave, what you said is correct. The only issue is, if the feathering shaft is bent, it can rotate and cause different "incorrect" pitches at random. The pitch may be corrected as you instructed, but o...

All those words uttered above, from me too.

I'm intimately familiar with the B400. ;) Many many rebuilds have created a lovingly close relationship with her. I'll echo Peter & Dave's comments with an endorsement for the website Peter mentioned....

Excellent idea, Dave A couple of guys on YT have a lot of vids relating to helis. http://www.youtube.com/user/NightFlyyer?feature=chclk You may have to scroll through many vids to find them, as he...

Amazing. If they spat the dummy & smashed the racquet, would that be committing suicide?

Won't be there Sat, but will on Sun. Darren is giving me some money!!!!!!!

Hi Paul & Ingo, I will try to be there around 8 tonight too. It will depend on the "weather" of course. :)

Paul, please pass on our regards and thoughts to Kev. I hope he recovers quickly. (And to Emily too)

You are right, Steve, perfect conditions. No excuses today, I HAD to land on the runway!! :) (& I did! ) :)

Hopefully I'll be down there Sun AM for a bit. I've decided to land the spitty on the runway instead of the trees & reeds. Yes I know, I'm being a boring conformist, but it's cheaper that way. ;)

She seems to be progressing well. Not too many labour pains I hope. You can always ask for an epidural if it gets painful! :)

It certainly does look impressive. Is it larger than the Trex 600?? Or is the photo deceptive? How different is it to the layout of the Trex family?

Gday Graham, welcome to the forum. I'm hoping to be there this Sunday, so I should be able to say "welcome to the club". There are certainly enough heli freaks willing and (hopefully) able to help yo...

Thanks for your work on this website, Kieran. I think everyone here agrees that our website is one of the best RC sites around, and the forum....well, it's second to none. Keep up the good work. The...

Congratulations, "Dad". When is your new baby due??

Paul, maybe the problem was begining to happen while flying online, and that's why a couple of us couldn't see you on the screen. Anyway, I hope you get it fixed soon. Thanks for hosting the session.

Paul, I'm experiencing the same thing with Phoenix. I haven't tried this yet but, I'm going to look at the "edit" function for the aircraft and play with some parameters.....frontal drag...thrust..mot...

I'm going online now (1550) for a little while if anyone wants to brave the wet field. :) :)

That's going to look (and sound) impressive in the air Ingo!

Kellets sell a servo reversing lead for $20 or $30. Just plug it in line & off you go.

The Spitty is up and running again, this time with flaps to help for slower landings. Unfortunately I have family commitments this Sat and work on Sun, so I'll have to wait till next Sat to battle the...

Thanks Dave, I agree with Gaz, I enjoyed that sort of flying much more than the mortein style. :) The commentary helped a lot with it too. I love watching you fly your heli because everyone can see ...

I'm doing family stuff this Sat, but I'm planning to be there Sun to fly at 9am. The Spitty will be there with speakers ready and amp cranked up to 11 !!! :) (thanks to "Spinal Tap") :)

Thanks Alex, I got it from Hobby King. It's the TBS (Thomas Benedini Sound) system. Essentially 4 parts required. 1.Sound Card. 2. Amp 3.Speakers (2) 4.USB dongle. (Usually only need to use it once) ...

Thanks for the info, Paul. I for one, wasn't aware of the times, so I'm glad you posted this. At least I can sleep in a bit now. :)

Won't be down this weekend..Spitfire is still undergoing her upgrades, (Sound system is much better with the 3 blade prop), AND I need to recoup brownie points from my work trip overseas. (She was RE...

Gazz, I have just put a 13x9 prop and an FMS 500Kv motor on the Spit, on a 3300mah 4S.The FMS Spit that this setup hails from seems to go well, but I don't know if it will have the speed that the PC9 ...

Thanks Guys. Kieran, yeah it is fully programmable with throttle position but I hadn't fine tuned it before videoing. I just wanted to get it up and running so I could hear it. Thanks for the advic...

The Spitty is finally getting her makeover. The sound system has arrived....Wow!! Here's a quick vid to show where I'm up to in "Bling the Spit". :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MQADA3X-m8

Mick, if you want to buy one here, and save time, RChobbies in Leichardt have them. Also, Acme Solutions at 6/10 Victoria Ave Castle Hill have them. They also a sell a 5 in 1 Simulator disc for $40....

Ingo, thanks for that. I'll be there about 7ish too. Andrew.

I like Josh and Josh. They have a fun approach t the flight tests. The HK boss interview was interesting. I wonder if they will have "quality control" related questions in part 2?

Kevin B, I have a 10am appointment in Parramatta & was thinking of swinging by the field on my way home....around 11 ish if you are still there. Weather permitting.

Can't make it tomorrow, hope to be there Sunday weather & wife permitting. :)

"cause it's the only thing that will save you! ;)

Gday Adam. You are more than welcome. Weather permitting, both days of every weekend will see some of us down at the field. Most fly planes, some fly helis, and some gluttons for punishment fly both!...

Gazz, couldn't today as it was the 1st day back at school. Tomorrow I have to be at the kids swimming carnival......all day! We'll keep in touch re the rest of the week.

Here's a bit of footage from Australia Day this year. Sorry there's not more, I was enjoying myself too much & forgot to film. :) At least I got good shots of Craig's awesome Heli!! http://www.youtu...

Gazz, I am too. I'll check with Mrs brotherblonde to see if I can get down during school hours too.

Gday Dave, welcome to the club. From what I've heard, you are pretty capable at handling the heli's. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person and getting some tips from you. I'll be down there ne...

I won't be down this weekend either, the brownie point count is veeeery low! Hopefully the following weekend will see me there. Have fun.

How come you're selling it?
