It's a full basketball court size, and there was a dude flying a liddle Trojan around just fine. Ceiling height was good too. Folks were doing full 3D stuff with regular size profilers.

Ok, might appear after lunch. Looked outside at 7ish and gave up on the concept.

I have one of those Aerodrive motors (1050kv) in a rc Pajero. It's a torque monster for certain. Nicely finished, too.

Are we going to be blessed with it's presence on Saturday? I will bring a proper video camera this week.

Yes, thanks guys. Appreciated. Beginning to charge and load the car now. Planning a big one. Normal two stints with the Devil, put a couple of packs trough the little Piper Archer and if it lasts tha...

I'll have my video camera ready. Serious.

Just a note, tomorrow I'll have the video up of Gazz's, George's and Jason's FMS saturday silliness in the club video section.

Very soggy at the moment.

A question: Can someone please explain differential to me? I understand the reasons why and wherefore about differentials in land vehicles, but as I have found nothing transfers over to the air. My ...

Thanks Steve.

Thanks guys, I do get it, but it is completely barse ackwrards to my assumption, being that the inner wing turns a tighter radius so it needs more throw on it's control surface... car stuff again :tou...

Pretty much. Being reserved in my commenting here, because it is the public facing side of the forum.....

Not looking good, wind wise. If it is too gusty I will stay in and play with the bits of my little Eflite Jenny for indoor flying. Not good for maidening.

It's calmed down a lot now.

Every "four button" charger I have owned or used since about 2010 asks for confirmation on cell count in every Lithium charging mode. However my old Swallow 2 (2007?) doesn't.

Oh snap. I'll be up at Vineyard on thursday having a fly with Seen, since under normal circumstances one of us is working while the other isn't. Have fun peeps and see you saturday.

Bugger Gaz, I need ALL the runway.

It is. With all that available sky, I didn't know what to do with it :D Seen mentioned there was a river "over there", but only when I was reviewing my on board footage I realised it was only about...

Agreed with Wayne, no apology required. I knew it was the 1st wed of the month, I forgot about it!

That's the new fella's - Chook or one of his mates, nosed in there a month ago.

Thanks guys.

That's a big birdy. They might of well just put the horizontal stabilisers on pivots, there is only enough of them left to mount the elevator hinges to :leet:

Providing the wind stays to a sensible level I shall be there. I've doubled my collection of 2200 3S's so no excuses for dodging max flight time.

Wayne, I too have been searching for the origin of design of this model, and I think I found it. There is a stunt team in the US who have a 1940 Stearman that has had an oversized P&W engine (along...

I'll go and make a fool of myself with my little Eflite Jenny.

Good news Wayne!

I don't know... but I might have to strap those 25 size floats to my Funjet.

I had to work. Would like to get a chance to get in the air in the morning, will check back in the a.m. to see if there will be any instructors heading down.

Shame my little seaplane is on it's way to Antartica :upset:

Hmmm. Seems legit. Loch McCoy Monster. I know a cryptozoologist that might pitch a base camp in the park if he sees this.

Hey all, dumb question time. Is 36mhz still an approved band at MAAA clubs or has it been booted to the kerb?

Thanks Steve. I've now bookmarked that manual, too. It's just that I have a new old Optic 6 kicking around, and wanted to eventually insert it into my Funjet, rather than use a 2.4ghz unit because of...

I have never flown a plane on fixed frequency, so I am all ears to what has been said. My thoughts just hark back to when 2.4 was being introduced, and reading up on it where ever I could. At the tim...

I'm a mode 1 lefty... and I can't hand launch to save myself. Even if that unlikely situation should ever arise.

Hey Bob, this is not something I make a habit of doing, but if you need some quickly, we have some 2200 3S Redbacks in the shop for around the 20 buck mark.

Yeah, been thinking too... This is the little guy I want to try. I know one of Chook's mates has one but looking isn't enough sometimes :tounge: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/catalog/283...

But yes... running that kind of current, an opti-esc would be more ... suitable.

Hope y'all have a good day. I was coming down but seems I have a little car work to do before I go anywhere...

Many voices said as one "Get a T28, you can't go wrong" So I set the throws with the included batt, and off to Vineyard with plane, tranny and hat to only look like a complete mug when my good packs ...

Spoilerons - is a little bit of that a positive method of aiding in the decent of a large(ish, it's all relative) model when the wing structure pretty much rules out adding flaps? What's the detracto...

Indeed, there is some good learning in everyone's posts. Thanks! Gaz, I am thinking about it for the 1640mm 1/6th scale VQ clipped wing J3 that I will be building soon (as soon as I get the little Cu...

Ok... Re-maidening the core of the fleet on the DX8 is off for another day week

Will there be any mode one instructors/CAFI at McCoy tomorrow? I won't be at HMAS, I have shelves to build, but a quick morning trip to home field is not out of the question.

Ok, sleeping in is good too.

Steve, I was thinking about coming down in the afternoon to see if there was anyone there to hold my hand. I'll be observing the weather for the next hour or so...

Hopefully it's like this in the morning... My life has sucky timing regarding flying.
