Agree with other comments that slow-fly prop is going too fast. I think it is either flexing and creating a resonance. Btw you should be able to see the flex by looking from the side of the prop, pu...

Sunny and light wind... ? gonna be a good day!

Great... had fun last Sunday with Bazza quading and FPV'g... too windy for planes. He and Dirk had even more fun apparently on Saturday with the gates up for the quads... think we need to fix a quad t...

Yep... looking forward to it.

Yep, thats the spot. Weather looks good tomorrow, sunny and little wind, so should be a few people down there by mid-morning. Most people go down there 9-1pm, some stay later. Field can be hard to...

For those looking for an FPV quad... this looks like a reasonable deal https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Racer-250-FPV-Drone-Built-in-5_8G-Transmitter-OSD-With-HD-Camera-ARF-Version-p-1142643.html?r...

Resurrecting this thread, for some newer folk that have been coming down to the field. There are a couple of threads similar, and heaps of other stuff if you google. Specifically though if you wan...

Question... I want to set up my Edge 540T, motor ESC servo combinations... and wondering should I get a separate SBEC that can output 7v for the servos (makes them go faster)? Is there another reason...

I'll be down mid-late morning, need to do some shopping first thing. We have a number of MAAA cards to hand out, if you want them please pop down the field in the next couple of weeks to collect.

That should be fine Jo, make sure you charge the batteries tonite.

Yeah but it happens with props too.... and it flips over violently... ill check esc connections.. but right now thinking to ditch the FC. [hr] Anyone had a chance to do similiar on bench and see the ...

Yep... did the whole setup again and recal the escs... this weekend im going to start from scratch... including redo any solder that looks suspicious. Also find if a way to factory reset a fc board???

Just a reminder for members and RC users. CASA have a discussion paper about drone regulations, and an online survey. Even if your not flying quads be aware that any regulations are likely to effec...

Ok... I am seriously considering the 'set alight' suggestion. I've decided to refit this quad with new FC and ESC. This is the first time I've gone to buy these components individually. OMG... the o...

I like the KISS idea... keeping thing simple, though matching kiss esc are expensive... would i just put a chesper blheli dshot esc with it ok.

I feel so inadequate ??

Sunday looks the pick of the days this weekend, Sat is looking windy.

Thats ok, Baz has a job for us on Sunday at the field :)

If you havent put in your submission for the CASA drones survey... tomorrow is your last day!!... forget that other survey thing in the mail... plenty of time for that... :) https://consultation.ca...

Doh!!

Hi Wayne, thanks for contacting the club you are most welcome and we will help you and your son out, to get you safely up flying. An Apprentice is a great plane to start with! As Baz said if the f...

Long weekend, and the hour shift I suspect that got in the way of attendance today, I certainly got down there later than normal, abt 11am. Dirk was down there early for a few flights, but you must h...

Yeah, probably only a couple of hours in the morning though...

Hi Wayne, Depends on alot of factors and what you want. How big is the plane? Estimated weight? Did it come with a recommended engine size if from a kit, or are you scratch-building? Gas engines ar...

Thanks Baz... glad you got that Helix sorted... thought it wasnt looking good yesterday, look forward to seeing it at the field. Was down today with Jason, and turned airmode on, with a switch. Oh...

What wingspan and weight, did it have an engine size recommendation? Is there a weblink to the retailers/mftrs site? Just thinking, you've got a prop on... do you already have a motor in it??

I got one of those b6 imac... my first charger and still using it, they'll get the job done done and can also be sc powered... car battery at the field. There are a number of knockoff versions on ebay...

What happened to the rest of your quad then???

Ill pick up the trailer.... baz send me address and if i oick up sat arvo or sunday morning. [hr] If you bring down field on sat, we can swap over if that works... btw thanks for this!!

It was a fun day today, that 6S EFX is seriously quick... probably the quickest RC plane I have ever seen... Steve L are you reading this... so you want to do pylon racing with EFX's... it will be MAD...

Reminding all again, that today 8th Oct Sunday, we are hosting the FPVR racing at the field, so no normal flying activities are available. Please come down and watch the racing, I am happy to share m...

60-80 people - I have bought for 45 serves... not everyone will buy something is my thinking and I'd rather sell-out that have left overs. I'll stop to get some more sausages on the way. I've got eve...

Yep... good move... not sure how many braved it today... not me!

Doh!! What happenned to the apprentice? As Jason says crashes are inevitable unfortunatley especially while learning... actually always... i totalled a perfectly good mirage jet a few weeks ago...

If you lost a plane on NY day please let SRL or myself know, a neighbour has it.

Good to here. I'm not sure what version my OpenTX is... but I dont think I have upgraded in more than a year... so seems it might time.
