My fav backyard plane.

Can't wait till I can fly in the back yard like that!

Does anyone know if Hobby City do gift vouchers? My birthday is coming up and will prolly score a $250 gift voucher from work. Was thinking Hobby city caus I need a bunch of servos and batteries at the moment. Could go modelflight, but i only really buy little stuff there, and they don't really have any planes I'm interested in at the moment. (I could do with a full range 6ch receiver I guess.) Could just ask them to grab me an Addiction straight off the PA site - that'll just add to the hardware bill though. Hmmm... decisions decisions.

You're gonna get a gift voucher from WORK for your birthday???? I want a job at your place!

Ben,

Haevn't heard anything about the MPXT. There is a great thread in the sports plane section about the MPXT.

Have a read, well worth it and should fire you up on the build.

Never let a chance go by.

The wind dropped so out for a test fly. It was a bit disappointing that there was severe power sag after 5 secs of full throttle. The battery is at least 18mths old so I guess its had a reasonable innings. Otherwise the short bursts showed some promise and apart from nearly landing in the pool with no power it's all good.

Geoff that's a decent sized backyard....not quite in Machette's league, but still bigger then the average. Our backyard is really only suited to the heli. I guess I could buy the vacant block next door..... if I had $600k

Hey crew.
Wondering if any of you guys know where I can get carbon fibre landing gear in Australia?
I need a couple of sets for some .40 sized planes I have.
Sick of rebending ally gear.

I know Bolly in S.A sell it. But they have discriptions and no images. If I am going to spend that much on gear I wanna know what it looks like first

I have looked around in aus as well VeeAte , but haven't found anything either
Sounds like you dont land , you arrive like i do

Mate I'm absolutely committed to getting her in the air, and I'm sorry I've kept you waiting so long for a maiden report, it's just that I'm still short 4 servos and a speedy. With the Bday coming up I'm sure there will be some cash floating around (gotta love being in your thirties and still getting money in a card from your folks), and I'll have a Hobby City order in quicker than you can say "too much of a tight a$$ to buy electrics from his LHS"!


Had a quick look on the last few pages of that thread and love this vid by the way:

E-Flite Mini Pulse XT (4 min 29 sec)

That's got me fired up!

Wonder how he got a head cam to work. I tried gaffer taping my handicam to a bike helmet but was so heavy I could hardly hold my head up straight.

Went slope soaring today for the first time ever on Mt Taylor. The killer bee was silent for 30 or 40 minutes as I soared around with eagles etc - brilliant.

Plenty of other flying too - although no more combat this weekend - hopefully something again soon.
