Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Cheers box, yeah... not too shabby haha. The cheque didn't fund the RC gear, though - that was money I could afford to spend. The cheque is going straight to my 'Around Australia' fund! - boingk

Haha, pure gold. "Pretend like you're breaking a pool cue over somones head... no, wait - pretend stopping a beer bottle from hitting you in the head, THEN then pool cue." ;D Cheers guys - boingk

Nice start mate, loving that thumb throttle... although I reckon it'd take some getting used to! Either way, you've got a nice build going and I'll be interested to see where it ends up. All the best for it - boingk

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Well, sort of. I was flying at a new field (off to one side of Gil Waminda) and brought her around to my left... forgetting the double-whammy of powerlines and fencing. I missed the powerlines but didn't pull up in time to avoid the top...

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Brilliant videos - digging the C-130 chute drop haha, not to mention everything else! In other news, the F6F arrived yesterday: Still waiting on the lithium polymer batteries and appropriate charger to turn up, but otherwise I'm...

Bloody brilliant! What a champ... especially running a speed camera in that thing haha. Cheers - boingk

SNAP! Spot-freakin'-on. - boingk

Crazy stuff, but pretty cool from an engineering point of view. Definitely agreed on the must be rideable aspect of a bike, though... anything else is just a pretty sculpture. Still, brilliant fabrication skills on both those bikes. - boingk

Good to hear it all works mate! Sounds like what I did with my CBR250R - fix, ride, sell, profit. Cheers - boingk

No idea on this one, but agreed that pre 90's Suzuki wiring was crap. My '84 GSX has bad wiring - think the starter circuit is fried... and all the damn warning lights keep going on for no reason. Headlight and signals all screwy, too. Hello rewiring project! Anyway, I say it looks the goods...

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Yeah it is, behind the old orphanage there in Mundy Street. I'll probably use the sporting fields over the railway tracks in Eastgrove, much bigger and all well-kept and level, too. I've seen some of the EDF stuff... they look right up...

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Wingspan - Definitely try outside, its a lot of fun. You can get the thing quite far away before you start to have problems with orientation, too. On control throw, I'm not looking for a vast improvement, just everything I can get out of...

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Flight video] Thanks guys, good to hear some positive feedback :) On the plane, it gets out of visual range quickly because its so small. Ended up on a neighbours roof yesterday afternoon actually. It might look squirly, but remember I've got the...

Re: RC model airplanes - anyone into them? [Package arrived today] Video of a flight this afternoon: Parkzone Ultra-Micro P-51D Cheers - boingk
