Futaba 10C transmitter.

Wed, 16 May 2012 08:45:28 +0000

I'm upgrading to a transmitter with a couple more channels for my jets so I'm seeing if there's any interest in buying my Futaba 10C transmitter.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti...LXWVT5&P=0

Is the link to the Tower Hobbies page for more information & a video.

It's the transmitter I'm currently using on my Habu, large scale Edge 540 & BVM F-86 Sabre. Of course it works perfectly. It has the original packaging, manual and charger. It's a 2.4 ghz module model so it can be used on 36 mhz as well with an appropriate module. It came in to Australia via the local distributor & is 'C' tick approved.

Before you ask, yes the non-genuine Hobby King recievers are available to suit. This is a very sophisticated transmitter which uses the Futaba FASST 2.4 frequency hopping system, not Spektrum. It's on mode 1.

I'm asking $300, just reply on this thread if you are interested. - John.

To swap: Trainer for Beer

Sun, 13 May 2012 07:54:08 +0000

My old Blu-Baby is taking up valuable space and it's time for it to move on. I want to swap this for a six-pack of 500ml Oettinger cans.

The plane was made by yours truly off a plan obtained from RCGroups (there was a build-thread somewhere amongst the forums). I learned to fly with it and can recommend it as a very veryeasy to fly trainer. It's had its share of dings with most of these still evident, but still does the business. It comes with everything except a motor (a Park 480, Turnigy 3530C or equivalent will do it) and receiver - I will throw in the rubber bands, and two or three puffy old 2200mAh batteries and there's a Parkzone 18A ESC still in there.

See me at the field some time if you're interested - you bring the beer and you get the plane, quite simple.

Anyone know what happened to HobbyKing store in Carringbah?

Sat, 12 May 2012 10:41:10 +0000

I tried ringing HobbyKing in Carringbah ... phone dead. I went for a drive to their shop and it was just an empty shell.
Just wondering if anyone in the club knows anything about them moving or shutting down.

How useless is this!!???

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 08:08:05 +0000

Not a plane, it doesn't even fly - how useless is this invention. My eldest son and I spent an afternoon in the shed and all we have for it is a "Useless machine" (google it).

I am keen to get some new lipos as i have several on there Last legs was wondering if its worthwhile doing a big group order so we all save on shipping ? As all the Good lipos are at the International Hobbyking Site.
But I guess depends on if anyone needs new lipos at The Moment and if its worthwhile.

Making sim progress

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 02:28:48 +0000

I have finally organised myself to get a sim and started to play with it. I have three main questions.

1. So far I am having difficulty landing. This difficulty comes in two parts. First I have so far been completely unable to line up the approach correctly - I seem to be about 2 to 3 landing strips too far away. Any suggestions how can I line up better?

2. When landing itself I am landing fairly hard and bouncing back up a bit. Is that too much speed coming in, too hard a drop or a mix of both?

3. Assuming I can fix both of those and take off, loop around and land smoothly is that the point where I am ready for a trainer (I am looking at the T-28)?

Fugly airlines - where Everything flies!!!

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:58:32 +0000

Here`s the latest from my workbench. I saw a youtube video on folding a wing from foamboard and another doing the same with depron so I decided to try it. Obviously, the wing then needed a fuse, etc

I will post photos when I get to the real computer.
