I see another RareBear !! That's got to be worth at least two heli's ;)

Easy done that is

It's out of stock in all the warehouses unfortunatly. We might be able to get some from the manufacturer. Tony Jones, I think, knows who that is. It shouldn't be hard to find out.

Well done mate !! A very neat job as always, :) and the colour scheme has been tastefully adjusted too. Black goes with everything so they say. Lookin' good It'll be back in the air and flying har...

It really smokes along, It's hard not to be impressed when your standing at the flight line and that thing goes blasting past at 300 plus clicks !!

Here's a pick of what the ill fated great planes rifle did to wingtippers MX2 It looked like the leading edge of it's wing struck the spinner of of 'tippers MX2 and wrent it from the motor, s...

test flight tomorrow ??

The field is looking good !! You should see a few less reeds at the end of the strip as well :)

They are 12mm rods drilled and tapped in each end. Measure up and tell me how long you need them and I'll have a look and see what I can do :)

I was there this afternoon just in time to see the last flight of the day and it's a beautie !! It flies very well, and looks nice and stiff for a foamy, no visable wing flex in high G turns. gret...

Here is the flier for The Maitland day Tony emailed it out today. All are welcome to come along and enjoy a day of fast foam and fine scale We need to have a strong presence from PRCAC just ...

Here it is all packed up in it's new box just about ready to go to Maitland. I've taped up the gaps in the aileron and elevator hinges with blenderm tape and potted the windings in the motor. So I'...

here's a pick of how I did my motor mount I just spaced the motor off the mounting plate the spacers are held against the motor by studs made from long grub screws.

That's very interesting Kizza, Looks like they are reducing noise by unequal spacing of the fan blades so that you don't get a reinforcement of the sound at the same frequency as the blades go past...

Did you give Jeremy a ring? you might be able to go and pick one up from him if he's got one. I'll test you his number.

Yep it's an Extra 330L it's sitting on the bench in the workshop at the moment But even if it was ready to go I couldn't fly it on Sunday cause i think its an electric only day. It may also need to b...

Looks like it's getting close now Great Job Steve!! I'm keen to see this one fly !!!

I think part of the idea may be to reduce turbulence behind the blade so the next blade passes through nice clean air. Although it should do so mostly, as it's advancing through the air and the in...

Yep we are heading out on Sunday morning. If you want to meet at my Place that would be good. I'm going to take the trailer and my genset as there is no power up there for charging Lipo's I...

I'm going to have to google that now Kizza :)

It's hard to say what extra pace I'll get with them on, in number terms. But when you think about it like this. Drag goes up as the square of the speed so any reduction in drag will make exponen...

I'm putting a few more in the in mould this week. I should have a few ready if Anyone wants to fit them for Sunday It's the work of a just a couple of minuets to zap and kick them on.

The rarebear and the spare bear have been given a good going over for the maitland Pylon day this comming Sunday. Motors have been removed and the rotors nicely balanced two new (and legal mi...

I found this link with a bunch of info http://www.brokenhillmfc.com.au/ Been established since 1961 interesting place I'll have to take a plane with me next time I go through Broken Hill

When is their next fun fly Wayne ? :)

I would just build another one the same, Ummm that's just what I'm doing at the moment actually. I picked up a flat pack of SRL last weekend :)

And now for something completely different, well it's still flying but with no motors and with a very nice view!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxsCJyVrWjs

had a fly of a Sebart 50 size Katana and was super impressed with everything about it, What a nice machine !!

Do they still have one of those thunder tiger Yak 54s in 45" span ?? Wingtipper said he saw one up there a week or so ago ?

Conditions were EXCELLENT and the field was in rather good condition, the only small issue was the usual paspalum heads poking up aboit 6" high from the short grass. No wind at all had the plac...

I'll be down to have a look at least in about an hour It's probably going to be a case of walking in as the grass is probably too wet to drive on

The wind is forecast to be almost non existent But there is a 90% chance of 5-10 mm rain

I was going to have a look at the field this afternoon but got held up with other things I'll be heading down tomorrow. It should be OK I'd think. I'll post up what I find out

That was a beautie!! I really enjoyed watching that. I particularly like how that verticaly down 8 point roll just turns into a flat spin.!! The 180 degree turn in the middel of that rol...

G'day James, Welcome to the forum, I usually get down to the field between 9 and 10 but often there will be someone arriving there between 8:30 and 9:00. Normally if the weather's nice there will b...

Just to get this thread back on track :) Here's an interesting link I found discussing various experiments with motor Jets. It's also interesting to note that some people are using EDF set ups to su...

I must confess to having something similar still sitting in a box in my shed it may be a little while before it gets to the front of the cue tho'

Gazz, That is true but if you hold it too steady for too long you seem to get like a ring vortex going and loose aileron control, you need to stir it up a little now and then but not like he was doing...

Yep patience :) I think if you go for a much lighter motor you'll have to add weight to the nose so you won't end up anything like 400g lighter. The tail wheel is already pretty light on this ma...
