It must be float plane time?? Or does that risk really annoying the gods???

Just popped down to the field To have a look at and fly some Rearbears

Just stopped by McCoy field it's definatly flyable but it might be a walk in. Though the track in is almost drivable

I'll be there early See you there

G'day Yudash, There are a bunch of great planes to fly as trainers Two I would suggest looking at are the Parkzone T28 Trojan or the Eflight Apprentice Both are very ver...

Very cool Thanks for the info guys. The CC3d worked very well with the older version of open pilot. But I will try Librepilot out on the next CC3d I set up. I guess it should be even better ??? !!

It was a reasonable afternoon's effort, I managed to get rid of a heap more weeds and long grass on the eastern side of the cross strip, The area we need cleared for Racing on the 17th of next ...

Wow that was a while ago I still have the plane and it’s in flying order It’s only had a few flights. Here some video of it that I didn’t get to post on here https://youtu.be/o2yJ1m4FWiQ

Wayne and I had a great day in Wollongong. The Flying conditions were just about perfict. The only slight, on the weather was, that by the late afternoon the sun came down to sit on the top o...

I'll be there shorty

I was on a Geruda flight into Dempasar some years back, the strip there must be pretty short 'cause they slammed the plane on the ground so hard some of the over head locker doors opened. landing...

It will probably be ok today if it doesn't rain any more Or hasn't rained heavily during the night

Things you do when it's too wet to fly. Spent some time tinkering with Snagit video capture software and flying on Phoenix Soon enough the hours were gone :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0HdatRvyh...

It will work with the Taranis, no probs at all The output will be pretty much the same as long as you make sure you set the radio up in PPM mode you'll be fine. Hope this helps

Thanks SRL !! I'll have a look and see if I can find a round prop nut in bunch of parts, I'm guessing that this for better air flow for cooling? I'm not sure how well balanced the spinner is on...

Awesome!! That look great Remember the powerlines are hard to see with FPV Ask me how I know

Not actually one of mine but from a collection we visited yesterday[hr] This is one I've often thought about building a scale model of Do you know what it is?

We can get some cores cut for about $20 each plus the price of the foam and the postage will be zero dollers. They will be a better model, only thing is there will be no instructions but you don'...

We havn't had much rain since the 5th when I was there so it shouldn't be too wet at the moment. The chance of 10-15 and 5-10 mm for Friday and Saterday is pretty high tho' We could be lucky, :...

I might be able to get down there for a little while this afternoon if things go right

Interesting, From the reviews it sounds like it's a nice flyer. It should look good in the air !!

I must have just missed you by the time I'd got there the field was deserted and yes there was water covering the usual low patches except for the one that we recently filled there were a couple of bi...
