Its pretty tough to get a reasonable video of plane, apart from being a small fast moving target, I found the autofocus sometimes has trouble against clouds and sky.
Mark took a video of my F-15, I cut it down a bit for a short download, the link is:

Hi Guys,

seabreeze.com.au shows that Tuesday and Saturday are good days.

I'm opting for Saturday, I'll bring the cameras and tripod to get some good pics and vid. Who's up for it.

I may have a new addition to my hanger if I can get it finished.

Saturday sounds OK, I might have a new one to try out as well...
With the extended light after work, we could probably do some flying before sunset.

I am planning for Sat too if that lull on seabreeze doesnt shift any more!

Should have 2 new birds to maiden, the SU27 (if it doesnt happen during the week) and the Huckebein!

Got caught up yesterday Glenn, will call you early in the week.

No worries Mark, sent you a mail. Made a motor for the little F-15, just trying to source a 3.0mm prop adaptor.

Waiting for Ford Roadside Assist to turn up now.....waiting....waiting......waiting......

bidlynd · Sep 10, 2006, 06:57 PM

Mark the SU-27 looks fantastic love the colour scheme.

Definitely have to bring the cameras now.

Glenn which particular prop adaptor are you looking for I have a couple lying around.

Lyndon, I have a 3.0mm motor shaft and want to adapt it to a little APC E prop. In the past have drilled out a Graupner 2.3mm adaptor, but theres not much metal left when you do it.
Looks like roadside assist is here....finally

Glenn I have two of these that I'm not using: http://www.ozhobby.com/product_info....09993727ca38ea

Can the APC prop hub be drilled to allow the 5mm shaft, what size is the APC?

Funny, I was looking at them on the Ozhobby site last night. Will have to check the hub size, there are three push in bushes with the APC props, one might be 5mm. The APC prop is 5.25x4.75.

Glenn,

I meant to ask where did you get the APC's from I need some small props other than the GWS.

The props were obtained from The Hobbyman in Dandenong and Extreme Hobbies in Nunawading. The APC has a 0.25 inch bore on the hub, there are some adaptor bushes that come with them, 5 and 6mm I think. They dont have that much information on the APC website to confirm it though.

bidlynd · Sep 11, 2006, 12:13 AM

Glenn,

I can post one to you or I can bring them on Saturday, I don't mind either way, do you need it for a model on Saturday?

Need your postal address.

Lyndon

GlennS · Sep 11, 2006, 02:07 AM

Lyndon,

Yes, it was for the model on Saturday, thanks for that, will send you a PM.

Glenn.
