Hi All!
I'm looking to get a bit more serious into the hobby. I've done a few hundred hours in flight sims and have done a 30min glider flight. A few years back, I spent a few hundred dollars on some RC planes and helis before gyros were in everything and, long story short, basically crashed a couple thousand dollars worth of kit which discouraged me from going further.
Recently, I won a DJI Phantom 3 drone in a competition and it has rekindled my fascination with RC. For airplanes, I have a few cheap trainers from Jaycar (3ch and 4ch), a Flyzone Aircore, a HobbyZone Supercub S (with SAFE). For helis, I have a broken Phoenix 350 CP, a Double Horse 9116 FP, a couple of cheap 3A gyro cyclicals. I have a couple of cheaper drones as well such as a Hubsan X4 and RCTech Hornet.
I'm also greatly interested in cars, with a couple of rock crawlers (AX10, Wraith, HSP Pangolin) and some brushless models (Kyosho Fazer, HPI Cyclone).
At the moment, I've started to heavily get into robotics, prototyping some stuff using Arduinos, Rasbery and Banana Pis, servos and motors, etc.
I usually fly my gear in the local fields in Seven Hills behind Lily's and opposite the RSL (I only live a minute from Riley's Gym), so a dedicated field out in Tucks Rd sounds ideal!
Hope that wasn't too much to read lol
Really looking forward to meeting you guys!!
