I've never had much success with hot-melt glue :( There are two things which annoy me about it ... 1. It tends to produce stringy tails when I withdraw the gun after applying a dollop 2. The sett...

Closed.

No problems Robbo - see you then.

OK Robbo - sorry about the delay, here's our flight report of one that my son and I had a few years back ... http://forum.rcflyingclub.com/showthread.php?tid=239&pid=4046#pid4046 (we originally got ...

No problems Robbo - I'll get some photographs of them tomorrow and post back here. If you like the look of them, I can bring them over to the field on the weekend if you're going to be there. Cheers...

Well, fellow enthusiasts, I've got to move house soon and I'll have to down-size at the same time, so quite a few of my planes won't be going with me. I've got several planes, mostly new kits still...

We'd probably run into trouble with the council (... whichever one it is that takes responsibility for that part of McCoy Park) by creating access/exit obstacles. This is just one of the frustrating ...

Knowledge != Understanding .... yep, that's me with women ... and I ain't made the "I can" moment there yet!

Hi Bob, When it comes to rules - there's always CASA first and foremost, and then the MAAA MOPs. Other than that, we haven't got anything more. Complying with the MOPs is sufficient since they're c...

It's a cheery title for a thread - definitely eye-catching. Glad you got it all sorted though, Wayne - a lot of people don't get more than one bite of the proverbial! Now, I expect you'll be saving ...

I also walked in when I took the shots above - the tyre tracks were already there and they were from a substantial vehicle. I expect it was a council inspection.

Predictably, it's not a good look at the moment and Willy says we're in for another hammering over the next four days :( This is what it looks like now (Thursday 30th, afternoon) The rectangular...

With water at the base of the HV tower, it'll be a while before we're back flying. This shot was taken from the houses on the other side of the basin, looking northwards.

Rob - thanks for the reminder. I think the committee should be planning a meeting some time soon, and surely this should be one of the discussion items. Thanks for going to the trouble of obtaining ...

Yes, it's difficult to predict how it will be tomorrow as a certain amount of the water on the runway depends upon what's flowing into the basin from rain upstream. Unfortunately, the steady rain in ...

Hmm - interesting. Hopefully this won't impact us further down the line as I expect HobbyKing, RC-Castle, Philip's Workshop and the other internet vendors will still enjoy a healthy export market.

Nice idea Andre! A fantastic proposition. I'm going to make no comment at all on your better half's appraisal - I might be an idiot, but I'm no fool.

SOLD! I don't want to do this, but it has to happen. A brand new FMS 1400mm P-51D in the "Gunfighter" livery. I've mostly assembled it, but there is still an hour or two's work required to co...

Yes, Willyweather says Toongabbie had 22mm which I think was a conservative figure :(

Nice bit of research and reporting there Andre!

Cheers Simon - the build was good fun, particularly because it was WAY quicker to make a lot of progress in short time, compared to a conventional built-up balsa and film airframe (as I guess you'd kn...

Willy (and other sources) are suggesting things are going to be a bit of a shitstorm tomorrow ... Sunday might promise more, depending upon the rain we get tomorrow night. I guess checking the condit...

OK mate - all yours! Cheers, Steve

Just as with the other one, I've got one of these brand new in box and I'm never going to get to build it. RRP is $130+ but it's yours for $80 if you wish. It's expensive compared to a HK model, but...

Andre - it's most definitely a kid/family-friendly thing on the Sunday, but the Saturday is intended for setup and for the host club to assess candidate pilots for Sunday. I don't really see a proble...

It's pretty windy right now mate ... might die off towards sunset but at the moment it would be very bumpy.

No worries Champ - we've got a dB meter there, but you're right anyway - there are MANY high KV electrics which are louder! Looking forward to it :)

Nice work mate - I'm impressed! You certainly set yourself a challenge with a 1.3cc diesel for a model that size. Is it a genuine Mills? Hope the weekend goes well, Mickey - I'll come along to the ...

Cheers Albert :) I lived in Penang from 1973 to 1975 and used to fly Cox control-line models on vacant land in Tanjong Tokong. There wasn't a club in existence at the time, unfortunately. Happy d...

I've never been a Bixler person myself ... but at least this one offers the chance of completing a bronze-wings test, since it has an undercarriage.

Wayne - the great majority of those thread hits will be search-bots not actual human users, but your point is well made. Thanks for the reminder!

Last Sunday turned out to be pretty good for flying. There was the additional bonus of seeing Mick in his natural repose :)

Yes, thanks Andrew - I'm pretty sure that's Vu's machine, which disappeared without a trace on Saturday.

Nice work mate - top stuff! I saw that Pete had smoothed the edges out nicely yesterday and it didn't look too bad, but the extra topsoil you've put down is excellent. In a couple of weeks most of t...

"Roger that", George - I'll be on your wing!

Excellent - the timing is great as I'll be heading out to the gym about then. Thanks mate, and see you later!

Sorry Rob - been out all day. What about tomorrow (Tuesday) evening some time?

Omg, I've gotta take that Sabre from you Rob! Give me the nod and I'll follow up with another EFT. Cheers, Steve

I'll take the Twinstar, Rob - I remember Kizza doing the maiden on it. Yep, $60 is a great deal - let me know what arrangements would suit you best. Cheers, Steve

I don't think so, Peter - not the v3 Trojan anyway. I ended up getting the red/orange and white USN version from Philip Worshop. I asked about the grey scheme at the time but I think he indicated th...
