Good point Rob. If there are guys doing circuits and then an aerobatic aircraft goes up, then chances are that communication alone will not ensure that a mid-air wont happen due to the freestyle flyin...

I am also planning to be there. Probably getting there around 10.30.

Plenty of us flew today. It was a good day. Gave the Trojan a few flights to get the hang of the grass. No problem (crap - I shouldn't have said that).

Good weather considering the "average" forecast.

BB, might have to fire up the McCoy field on Phoenix! Weather's always sunny there.

Well, I think tomorrow will be like today - overcast, no wind, and the odd spot once every other hour. I reckon tomorrow will be a flying day.

Never heard of Gens ace. TP are premium batteries. No issue there but they cost $$$. If you're flying planes, then TP is certainly fine but the batteries via HK (Turnigy, Rhino, Nanotech, etc) are pre...

Don't they race on Sunday? If you are drinking beer at 9am tomorrow, I will come borrow your key. What time can I do that?

Ok, so we just need someone with a key :) .

Hi chaps, Dropped in to the field today to inspect the condition. I am pleased to report that there is no sitting water at all and that only a few places are squishy (as you'd expect). Driving in a...

Claudio: 200V battery? What you got in your garage? Andrew, I kid you not it works. No magic. I was not certain about it - but was hoping it was going to work. Quite amazing actually.

Thanks again Gazz. I would have suffered greatly if I had to get Mandy to come down with the jump leads. Might keep a spare 3S battery in the car with some connectors "for next time". That's twice in ...

Looking pretty good there Darren. What is the ETA until it gets some air under its wings?

Answer - 3 and a half.. and then, a da car she no start. Claudio: Found out why the cigarette lighter PZ charger was showing an error. D'oh! Could have been worse. I could have taken it back under ...

Steve, SBEC and UBEC are the same beastie design-wise. Both are switchmode. Linear v Switchmode - Linear input is pretty darn reliable by design but work at retricted voltages and lower efficiencies...

I have a few 450 heli batteries that will slip in nicely. Kieran, thanks. I might take you up on that until I can replace it for you. Depends when we fly next and cross paths. Knowing when that will ...

Ok plane dudes, time for this heli flyer to ask some simple questions now that I have T28 (looks nice): 1. The motor is offset on the firewall. It points noticeably "right" when viewed from the tail ...

Well, despite a distractingly blue sky the cross strip and main strip have lying water in addition to the usual squelch. It'll be a heli and hand-launch session for anyone flying. The drive way, ramp ...

I like the idea of flying tomorrow morning. I took today off (organised a couple of weeks back) thinking 4 days of flying would be great - only to see the weather turn sour. I am going to check out th...

Might scout there for a plane. Lookout!

Aww crap

I don't understand German but I think you can work it out ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXs16RtzFLA&feature=player_embedded

Just had a closer look at the circuit board and servo close up. It's not the same as the mCPx so they are different units however I suspect some parts would be interchangeable.

I have seen a few of these and some of the set-ups and pilots have produced some fantastic videos. Might be the genesis of a new project for me. It is more about the video than the machine. http://ww...

Hmmm.. why am I charging batteries?

The Solo Pro 180 looks good. Access to spares will be important.[hr] kizza42 Wrote: (09-09-2011, 12:01 AM) -- I'd put top dollar on it being made by the same OEM as the MCPx. -- The video showed the...

brotherblonde Wrote: (07-09-2011, 11:08 PM) -- Cool. Is it the Eflite MCX thingy? -- mCPx - Yes. You are mode 2 so when you get back to the field again, take mine for a fly and see what you think.

1. Drew, so sorry you didn't make i t down. We still need to discuss your mode 2 DX6i - which I would like. 2. Magic day indeed. My lovely wife said zippo when I was at "Bunnings" for 3 hours ;) . Dro...

Thanks BB. You should see the new machine. I have a new heli lined up for you. One you can pack in your bag next time you go to work ;) . Lots of fun for a micro and surprisingly agile.

The pilot Kyle Dahl id is a Mikado factory team pilot. I would bet he didn't pay for the scale fuse (maybe didn't build it either) and he is also at a large event with spectators. That's the 3D coming...

Boy, this would be a great scale fuse for the Logo. It is one big fuse when you see how small the Logo frame is when mounted inside (..and the Logo ain't small). It adds slightly over 1kg (3.9kg becom...

Be careful! This happened to a guy with a Trex 500. He turned off the TX before disconnecting the battery and didn't have the failsafe set up. It spooled up - he tried to grab it - you can see the re...

Tally ho chaps. Smashing job eh what.

Hi all, I dropped by the field today. Several issues I'm afraid: 1. A motorbike has been in and left tyre marks through the main strip. Not really bad but... 2. There is no laying water on or n...

They grow in to flyers ?

I'd be thinking the grass would be needing a trim. PMT time?

Hmm... I think the runway is in the wrong place :D . Should be a bit to the right ;) .
