I recently bought the dynam ME262, although the model is stand off scale it still appealed to me, I am not normally a edf type person, but I thought it would be a challenge, that being a understatement, after checking the thread I knew that the retracts needed replacing ( standard retracts are very average). But once started the mod list started to grow, I have now gone way further than I ever intended.
Now the plane has had 4 coats of wbpu, Ofcourse the retract mod, nearly all servos have been replaced, fans,motors and esc's have been replaced, flap mod has been done, this has been more involved than I wanted to do.

I flew my new dynam bf110 today and it flys really nice, only a couple of things, better airflow for the battery and esc's, limited battery choice due to location.

The plane could carry a bigger pack but there is not enough room any bigger pack than zippy 2800mah 30c.

I am pleased to report the successful maid of the durafly vampire, I decided to repaint mine because of other silver ones at the club, decided to do a camo version then someone brought one, so that wasn't a option any longer. Then I came accross the sea vampire, quite a simple paint job and I was sold.

Usual boom mod was done and upgraded the fan and esc, thrust tube mod also modded, greater air in was achieved but opening up the cheater holes and removing foam from behind nose wheel.

I am using 4s 5000mah zippy compacts and it flies great, with being heavier it is positive on the landing approach and less likely to float on landing.

Ok I ordered the new durafly mk24 spitfire on the 22nd and hope it will make it here by Thursday.

Waiting to see if the world comes to a end today, I ordered a Gyrocopter from Hobbyking this morning, so will be a good buy or not. I may never know lol.

Well nearly another year as passed since my last entry, something's achieved and others no lol. I got the seafury funfighter which has been great, I crashed that due to pilot error, then got the T28 funfighter and now am waiting for the Me 109, I was on hobbyking on Sunday night and placed a item in my shopping cart and a freebie popped up lol, to my surprise it was the 1700mm P40N valued over $250, after a frantic order frenzy where one order was oversize and unable to be shipped I finally got the freebie.

So it's a jit item and won't be packed until near the weekend, ems freight to here should mean it will be here around the 2nd of November.

Almost a year has gone by since I made my last blog entry. Life has been interesting to say the least, I lost interest in the spitfire due to a bent tailplane but I am currently trying to get it straight so I can finish it, I also have a ams corsair which will be flying soon, then I can work on the hk mossie and windrider hurricane. I just ordered batteries for both those aircraft so that should keep on the track.

Modified the motor mount for the Durafly Spitfire and hope it will work well.

It hasnt been a week yet and I am missing my car, I want it back

My car goes in for repair on the 3rd of november and it looks like I will not have any wheels for 2 weeks.

On the way to work yesterday some nice gent thought my car needed a bit of bodywork and these are the pictures.

Sure the insurance covers the damage but I will be without a car for over a week

Insulation paid for and ordered, thanks to my tax return lol. I am going to be working on the shed during my holiday.

I have been trying to get some outstanding projects finished, This is my 6s scanner conversion, need to run the new motor to work out the amp draw.

Just a big shock, got a price on the insulation and it was nearly $900 delivered

Things are going nice but I have run out of insulation batts must get some more.

I was going to work on the new workshop today but have been given overtime today, nearly $500 for one day, I couldnt knock it back.

Next chance is wednesday lol. Thats looking really clear at the moment

Had a phone call today and the roller door should be fixed tomorrow, now I can stop the dust from blowing in

The shed is progressing slower now that my holidays are over, I worked 12hours overtime yesterday.

Shed is up but the roller door is buggered, so it is slowing the finishing of the shed.

Hi

I decided get myself a 6x3 metre shed as a modelroom/workshop, now I am putting a timber frame inside and insulate the roof and walls.
