I just noticed this addition

My name is Heather Mardon and I live in Hastings. Belong to the HBRF club and have been an electric flight junkie for about 5 years.

Its not an addiction I intend to give up

Hi James
Me I'm Nick Furmage outa Wellington belong Kapiti club and into Electric's have been for a while now. 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.

Me big project is a Super Scale SAAB VIGGEN for the new Schubler DS-94 120mm fan this thing is capable of pumping out 18lbs thrust on the right motor battery combination. Hope to start in Winter as wanna do some flying over Summer.

Heli's no helis well not yet..........:0)

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

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.

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...
