Does it measure up to the rules for EF1 ?? Here's a link part IV is the aircraft specs Cheers Jason

They definatly race EF1 in the NSW Pylon days. I saw them when I was out there, they seem to be about the same speed as the Q 500s (thunder tiger 46 powered Vipers) and they races them in heats with t...

Nice to see you at the field today Dashi. Hope you and Aunty Katherine had a great day See again soon

Hi Dashi, Jeremy mentioned that he gave a keen young fellow a hand to set up his plane and few flying lessons,out at Pittown, not so long ago. He also mentioned that he recommended our club as a go...

You'd have to go up in the series cell count if you go low KV but it's also a good way to add usefull weight. might need a HV ESC tho'

Nice one George !!

That MX2 will be such a nice plane. It looks like it's got less tapered wings than the Edge 540 and the Sbach. This should give it nicer slow speed handeling than both of those. At that price ...

Looks very nice can't wait to see it fly!

What prop are you going to be running on it Gazz? 63 A with 10S that's about 2500 W :) It should haul !! Was just looking at your pics, that's a nice neat fit out you've done !!

What prop is she spinning Gazz?

Nice We should see some very nice planes at the field if the weather holds for the weekend I have my fingers crossed !!!

That looks like a very nice unit !!

Awesome !! I think it would make a great FPV platform !! I'm interested to heat how it goes !!

That Cub's going to be a beautie George !! and a good size at about 74" That will be a fantastic flyer !! What Motor and battery set up are you going to use in that ??

AWSOME Gazz, nice work with the conversion to electric power!! It will defiantly have some presence in the air!! At nearly 5 1/2 kg it will have a highish stall speed and want to land with some pac...

It looks very nice !! Hope to be at the field to see it fly this weekend ??

Happy birthday John !!

Just unpacked a new machine this evening. It's an edge 540 from super and cheaper. It's light straight and very nicely built. should be a bit of fun to fly.

You've convinced me Gazz !! I'll keep the clevices. :) What motor are you running in yours? I've ordered the 2836 -2300KV http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7993 ...

Very nice machine Gazz :)

Hi matt, There will certainly be people flying on Australia day, best to get to the field earlyish, around 9 I'd think. See you there !!

I personally like the viper Jet. It just looks like it has a longer tail moment and a slipperier fuse and wing. I think it would be the better flier of the two. Just depends what you like i...
