This is how I learnt to build planes from balsa , when I was 8 my father decided to start flying again(control line). I remember the sheets of balsa, Stanly knife and pins to hold it together while ...

Hi Greg The last few months I've been working on my carbon fibre props and contra motor for my next Depron Index. Just small design imrprovements but they all add up. I'm now planning the next build...

Strip is cut and ready for a good day of flying tomorrow. srl

I’m still working to build the perfect Index3. Below is my latest contra motor and 3Dprinted prop moulds. Just made some improvements that have made the build process easier. The mould clamps now hav...

At last I now have a remote buddy box working for the trainer. Ken gave it a test today. Using EdgeTX on my FRsky 9xd2019 I used this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq1Lh-CIGXY sr...

Forms are attached for the wings flying test for members to practice. We can then get Jason V to give you a test. srl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LargnWPSX04&t=79s Very much in line with what we have seen at our flying field , not good for DSM. Radio master ELRS has come along at just the fight time. srl...

Last one was just before the first lock down and was very well attended. Since then with dementia Graham Ferguson's health deteriorated and he passed away just over a year ago. srl

It looks good. I like how everyone is asking about AG01 stick upgrades on rcgroups. Also the CC2500 version only covers a few of the Frsky protocols(not DSM), looking at the posts it looks like 4in1 ...

For mebers with a new RadioMaster- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Hg2f7RL1A&t=0s

It's a good reason Greg for anyone looking at flying model aircraft to join our club and fly at Mccoy field with all the proper CASA approvals under the MAAA (national association). srl

Hi Greg A few times I remember my FRsky X6R with Horus10x having a very brief LOS at the recovery of a inverted spin. All fine now since changing to PCB RX antennas and a Taranis 2019. srl

I've done a range test walk down the street with a RX. The TX log shows that it went from 25mw to 100 before the RX went into fail safe. I was happy that all was working well. It had good range too. ...

Lots of flying today (Wednesday). Good to see Ian back with his new large build. srl

Just this week I found out that the Ranger ELRS modules only work best in RadioMaster 4in1 TX’s and the Taranis 2019. Other Frsky radios may require a mod. By luck I’ve only been using my module ...

Partly cloudy and light winds for tomorrow Wednesday. srl

Lots of flying today until storms surounded us at 1pm. Had my first ever ELRS flight using a RadioMaster Ranger module. srl

Hoping the rain will hold off over the weekend. Here are some pictures from last Wednesday. srl

You will have to add a module on the Frsky to use the Spectrum rx's. A Radio Master 4in1 like Ross has will work out of the box with your old RX's but the LOS problems may still remain. I would g...

It was a perfect day for flying at Mccoy field today. No rain and no wind. srl
