  1. Broken, but that seems to be a genitic problem with those Jabba's. I think there might have been a bit of inbreeding up there at Bundy. JabbaPete says not t worry RiverlandLass I have just the thing I have.....
  2. we use lockwire these days says jabaPete, but not cheap stuff, we only use quality good from Clear Prop:thumb_up:. Suddenly Gynie Pete gets a call from Jabba HQ in Bundy. A j430 is in early Labour and his assistance is urgently required:chuffed:
  3. Sure Brett, You did an insurance job didn't you. Even a drugged out criminal wouldn't bee seen steeling a Mac:laugh:
  4. I only have One drink per night now!!!
  5. So would I and she is a stunner!!!
  6. I am already amazed Brett at the fact you are able tolog onto these forums, I didn't know that internet access was able to be used through the old tin can and string phone system:laugh:
  7. You mean they might actuall look at running power to WA?
  8. Ian, To here of those emails is very disturbing. I can't wait to here them named so hopefully they will crawl under a rock and dissapear. To make the accusations about your family and especialy your kids is just down right a discrace. As Turbo stated that for everyone of those oxygen thieves there is 3000+ people who are appreciative of your efforts. AND TO THOSE WHO ARE SENDING THE EMAILS GET A LIFE!!!!!!! karma is a real
  9. Agreed, all the best Seb, depending on where you are based try and find a local club and join their forums.
  10. I'm speechless, all I can say is
  11. As far as a twister 3D being a low class toy thats the attitude of the toy stores you say are after money. I have a twister 3D aswell as a T-Rex and to be honest the Twister spends more time in the air as it sits in the back of my car and I fly it nearly every second day. There is not a thing that the Twister won't do that the T-rex does and a crash is no where near $200. As far as pranging a plank and being up for a new airframe, I can name about 6 high quality ARF kits that are about $100-$150. Lets see here ARF kit $150 Radio $400 for a mid range JR that can be used for a Heli aswell. Engine a OS 46 can be picked up for $105 off the net brand new so thats a total of $650 and if you pay $100 for a flight box you shop at the wrong place. A sig flat pack is $45 fuel $18 Glow Plug $4 and hand pump $10. I really believe that there is a big case of Tall Poppy Syndrome in the world of RC and so many new comers are ripped off and told absolute:censored:. I have one a pattern competition using a low wing trainer and a flogged out 46 that I built in 4 hours and flew the next day after loosing a model the day before, only to have the so called experts leave before the trophy ceremony in a jealous dummy spit. On a last thought I would like to see a nitro Heli getse up for $650 including a radio you can use with other aircraft and also a sever prang in a heli will nearly always cost more than $200, god a set of decent blades and a tail boom for a T-REX is nearly $300. Turbo have a look at this link, YouTube - Twister 3D Helicopter Nothing special about the flying but it shows a twister 3D flying really well for a so called low quality toy.
  12. Isn't it good to hear that there is still nice people out there, it's a atribute that seems to be more common around the smaller airfields. Have a safe trip home pduthoit and well done to the anonomous helper:thumb_up:
  13. No thats a xmas present that tops them all, we all need friends like that Ozzie:thumb_up:
  14. Adrian thats a fair call but I honestly believe that as a starting point in the hobby for value for money you can't beat a fixed wing trainer and if helis are your way than a cheap pre built like a twister. I to was a MAAA instructor only on fixed wing and from what I have seen is that when people start on helis first, they outlay a fortune and when it all turns bad they don't have the basic skills of radio set up and rebuilding. Thats the problem with the MAAA and I am not saying its all bad but I couldn't believe when I heard some club instructors actually charged learners for lessons, where did this hobby go
  15. Tried to connect and it says that my version of FSX doesn't match the host?
  16. Well finally with all the dervisions navigated around thanks to Biggles who put us all onto these great $2 compasses every one at the field packed their cheetings,jabakanga's and the other various marvels of flights and taxied out to rumway 251208.

  19. I second that!!!!!!Thanks for a great year Ian, and thank-you to your wonderfull wife for allowing you to continue:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:
  20. Crikey Ahlocks us mob doesn't have multiple personalities we just have trouble minds:loopy: or we may drink to much:yuk: or both:thumb_up:. Anyways as Biggles had left the clan for an extended fly-in all the others were lost, withut his high flying aeros and cheap stories the field felt empty and just as the clouds started to form on the horizon everyone was putting their planes to bed, everyone except.......
  21. After going away for flyin for two days a few locals came back to notice Biggles was absent:loopy: what kaos did they miss. Did he upset the average joe or was his stories just a bit far fetched for junior ears.....
  22. biggles realised that the hairdryer just burnt out and he was falling, he turned of his ipod hoping this would give enough power to crank over the retrex. Nope nothing so he quickly rolls the cheetah over and comences a spiral decent. He notices the wonderfull Caroline running down the other side of the security fence waving. Thinking she has changer her mind about marriage he lands and slides to a stop. Getting out to greet her she runs straight past him and into the arms of......
  23. Caroline, She has been hiding in the shadows spying on Biggles, he had recently flown to Sheperton to ask her hand in mariage and she nearly said yes but when he walked her to his Cheetah for a bit of ??????? she noticed on the front seat a .....
