Hi Mick, The best price I have seen nationally is Hobbies in the Hills at $159 for the BNF version. They are local too. Not sure you will squeeze a club discount out at that price. The guy that often...

That's gold!

Given there were lots of questions on heli set-ups and that our club is electric only, I though I would post some excellent information for the heli guys on setting up throttle and pitch curves and th...

Rob, the only reason you weren't there in the search party was that your shoes were too pretty! Yes, quite an effort. What ticked us all off was that we couldn't find that darn nose cone.

I have been using Rhino batteries from Hobby King for years and they are the oldest lipos I have. In 2009, I crashed my HK450 in the back yard and somehow managed to sever the balance lead off the bat...

So Polyquest are premium lipos Kizza?

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...

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...

Damn those trees!!

I seem to have escaped the detective work going on.

(answer removed).. You might need to ask for a clue

so what does mine say?

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...

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 was on a flight in to Melbourne on an A330. It got a bit ugly when the wing tip was about 40' off the ground after crossing the runway threshold (note: the other wing tip was about 80'). Mr pilot hi...

Yes, not a good day for Strykers with Steve B putting his in to the sharp edge of the power-line staunchon at high speed. Ouch! I think the motor is still bouncing down the road (somewhere).

Go the Stryker-Q !!

Good luck with the maiden. Gazz will tell you to make sure you have batteries that haven't lost their mojo to make sure you don't plant your EDF in to the grass at the end of the runway. :D

I have been considering my next addition to the fleet. I have now placed on order a Mikado Logo 600. The Trex500 FBL is flying absolutely fantastic but I have fancied a larger heli for some time. Had...

Andrew - thanks. "Baby" arrived last Monday. Picked it up whilst in Melb. Kizza - yes, belt drive. The only option on the Mikado helis. Prefer TT but there isn't a choice. Just need to look up a...

Is that a new turbine or one of the "preloved" turbines?

Yes, of course a Trojan. I don't know Gazz. They have planes "in progress" that don't appear on their website. There is a P47 Thunderbolt being restored in a non public area. It is for a South African...

The prop appears fine. It seems like the spinner only isn't perfectly aligned. I doubt that will cause any adverse vibrations.

No maiden. Darren's advice.

Hi fellow clubbers, Has anyone got a Dremel tool? I bought a new Scorpion motor for the new heli and the shaft is about 10mm too long. Missed a critical dimension. Shaft is 6mm dia so perhaps a ...

Quite often a club member will volunteer to do this. Check out the "field condition" and the "flying this weekend" for the needed reports.

Now you know why the battery order went in on HK. 6 X $4.99 for 1S 0.3A 35C Nanotechs!! :)

Well, I finally caved in and decided to get a Blade mCPx. So now I have a big heli and very small one. All flybarless for the record! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqunygaQlQM&feature=player_embed...

Shooting stars BB, glad you got the bird down ok. There are plenty of neanderthals around Tulla. You read about crap like that but you never think it will affect anyone you know. WRONG!!

Keep the bullet connectors on the batteries!! It is also easy to obtain (or make) a charger lead with bullet connectors also. That is what I use. The Gaui 550 was originally designed to use 2 x 2600m...
