Interested in prop planes, currently getting into EDF JETS (the Techo and Poof for pounds there now) me Airforce currently consists of Goldberg Super Chipmunk (it's 69inches weighs 9lbs odd flies on ole 24 cell nicad), Peliken Bonnie (Great machine for the bucks) New Twinjet Blue Shark version (other one died) also have SU-27 (from the Allen Lawerence stable) currently have a EJF BOBECAT on the building board for 90mm fan (Wattsup gettting those in soon) should be a good flyer.

Hey, just noticed this section.

My name is Marcus Sargent, I am in down south here in Timaru, 100% electric. 6 years on the go. In a bit of a slum as far as models are concerned, I have let nearly all of my airframes slide in terms of keeping them airworthy. The reason behind that is I am saving to goto Asia on 06. Plenty of model shops over there :D

Right now I have a Skeeter 30 flying, and I dabble in the micro heli's, I do lots on Aerofly pro deluxe and can fly some decent 3D.

Goals:
*Compete and be sucessful in sportsman aerobatics with an electric model, my no 1 expense next year will be having a powerful, reliable aerobatic setup with enough lipo's to go through a days competition.

*Get into ducted fans

*Learn to hover nose in and do FF confidently with my Micro.

That's about it for me!

-Sarge.

[jackosmeister]

Haha, I saw your name siang and thought I better have a look! Flying with you is always exciting! Shaun said you decked the raptor! Tommorrow looks nice, you should head out to clevedon.

Me. Im Chris (Jacko), 26, Auckland, PMAC. Current fleet is (changes regularly...) Hyperion sukhoi 25e, PA addiction, X31, depron pylon prototype, X42 deltastorm (dead at the moment)

Previous beasts that have been killed- HoneybeeCP2, CopterX450, Parkzone trojan, Hyperion CAP 232, Depron Fokker DR1, A whole bunch of scratchbuilt depron wings, 2 spad wings... Thats depressing...

[siang]

Exciting??? lol, I know what you mean, get ready to run or duck, lol. I will be going to Lloyd Elsmore in the am and if wife's in a good mood then I'll pop into Cleavedon.
Hey I got my third fleet now, still on assy ...... trex 600 pro, hahahahaha, fantastic eh, without my wife's knowledge of course, lol. Wellllll, I bought myself a present for father's day, lol... what a lame excuse but a good one :D
