I have been flying for about 15months now, and most of it has been down at my local Park, which is in a rural area.
A man and his wife have a house which boarders the park, but I avoid flying too close so I don't annoy them.

I was just flying this morning with some electric warbirds, and he came out and told me to leave.
the model was not making a lot of noise, I thought, but I immediately stopped flying. He said that he had enough of people flying over his house, and flying petrol helis so as far as he was concerned all could go. I tried to apologise and reason with him, but he was not in a mood to discuss things further, i guess because it was 0610.

So, my early morning flying at the park is over, and I will continue to fly after 0800, but staying well away from his house.
Because this is someone having fun, I expect the fun police to jump on this and have signs up very quickly. In the mean time, I'll continue until the park is officially closed to RC.
If I see the Wankers with the petrol helis in the park, I will certainly make them aware that they are being inconsiderate and should take their helis elsewhere.

There is no doubt, however, that I will lose the use of the park very soon.

I just wasn't flying her, and she needed to fly.
I took her down to my Brother's place on the weekend and gave him an early Christmas present.

He flew her at 0530 Sunday morning, and the flight was beautiful,m as expected, but his landings were amazing.

John's mate Mark was there with his super dooper lens on his camera and took the following shot against a very interesting sky.
Enjoy

Remember, I said mixed results?
Well, these are her pics of my B17 The Pink Lady.
I'll only post those which are good and ...OK.

I have been getting my 5 year old daughter to take some pics of my flying for me...no one else is available, and my Digi vid sunnies packed it in.
The results have been mixed. Some amazing shots along with some pretty ordinary stuff.
The results of a 5 year old and a Nikon D70....Continue Reading

I have this really cool new app for my phone called 'Water My Photo'

I've flown this model as the Pink Lady now, and she sure looked good in the air,
just didn't have anyone there to take pics for me.
Anyway, these are the pics I took of her on the ground after the flight.

I have a new project.
the plan is to customise the standard Green model into The Pink Lady.

Stormy Weather:
Finally finished detailing Stormy Weather, and she looks Good.
My brother (30 years RC experience) will be here later today, and we'll be going to a Warbirds weekend at my local club, TARMAC. I'll get him to fly it for me so I can get some good fly-by shots.

Here are two more pics of Stormy Weather as she nears completion.

Righto, Last month Isaw the BIG P40N from Hobby King and HAD to have it.
On the thread for this model, the build up to its release was very promising.
So, as soon as it became available I 'pulled the trigger'.

It took a while to get here but finally made it.

here is the vid to my unpack.

Then a started to assemble it and read on the thread that some guys had noticed that the under carriage sequencer was missing and that they had a wobble with the prop.
Again, my video on that subject.

G'day all.
I have only been flying RC since September 2010, but have now become a bit of an RC WARBIRDS Tragic. I intend to share any 'Discoveries' I may make through text and imagery, and to do My Level Best to advance the Hobby of RC Aviation.
I also intend to share my flying experiences here, so look out for stories of my successes, and failures, all of which should be accompanied by photos.
The attached image shows 1/4 of my existing fleet after an early mornings flying.
I will tell you more about my ACFT, their assembly, and setup, a little later.
I look forward to chatting with you in the future, learning and educating.
