@#$#$^% Radio

so the main PCB on my radio is poked. 1300 bucks to replace it. not worth it. so if anyone wants to buy it and repair it, ill let it and the 2 receivers go for a song.

Nice day. not a big turnout. Congrats to Ian Saunders on his daughters marriage to Stephan. Had a smashing time with my heli. was hovering inverted and the gear came loose. so it landed upside down. damage not too bad. also dropped my radio and now it no longer works arrggggh....

anyhoo. also flew louis electric pegasus again. only trainer i know that can climb vertically and prop hang!

Incidently the guy who came to give us a quote for the runway never bothered to come back to us. so back to the drawing board.

Better late than never

Hi Guys

Got feedback this morning that the guy for the quote to do the tarring on the runway is coming tomorrow morning to the club at 10:15

anyone who is interested is welcome to come along and give their input etc etc etc have your 2c say :)

nice day on sat. not much wind. flew my V2 heli. enjoyed it. did some pylon racing with it. that little heli gets up and moves when it wants to! flew louis converted harvard with electric power now. very nice. only thing is that it burnt the windings on the motor due to too much load caused by a 13x8 prop.its amperage which burns windings. so if you want more power. remember that you can lower the amperage going through the motor by upping the voltage. ie increasing the cell count of the battery you are using.
reminder guys. subs are due. R200 is not much for fees. lets contribute and get the lapa covered!

Mamemoiselle Build

Almost finished. just need to cover it now. cute little electric old timer that i build over the past week.

well sat was a nice day all round. no real wind to speak of and the rain Gods were smiling upon us.

Flew my new 450 V2 . Flies nicely. cant notice a difference to the v1 in normal flight and hovering but when it comes to aerobatics. its definitely crisper and more responsive. i suspect due to improved dampers in the head

Flew Louis new Aquila which very much resembles a lancair. very nice model but the nosewheel is a bit short so it jumped off the ground rather unexpectandly and was on the verge of stalling. it also happened to be tail heavy which didnt help. anyway he is going to move the batt pack forward so that will help quite a bit. possible also going to convert it to electric power after seeing how his pegasus trainer performs with the Turnigy motors that wifly supplied him. unlimited vertical on a 13x6 and it will hover on a 12x6. crazy stuff!
