boleropilot Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 thanks Wally - I'm the first to admit I'm a bit precious (and a little thin skinned) - two traits that should make me avoid forums.... BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 considering the total (apart from 1 x Like from RKW - thanks m8) lack of interest in my offer of the use of my property for a RC weekend, the event is cancelled permanentlyapart from that I find it a little unusual for a poster to join a forum/thread and says g'day, then doesn't even get one reply? feels like wandering into a noisy pub in a small country town and every set of eyes turn around to look you up and down, and it gets real quiet...... I'm just sayin'.... BP I'd be there if I lived down that way. Maybe there aren't enough model aviators on this forum who live in your neck of the woods...

winsor68 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Welcome to Australia, tall poppy capitol!:-) Don't take it to heart,every interest/hobby/industry is like that to some degree:-) The R/C fraternity is a fickled bunch, most clubs are political & toxic. I got out of R/C clubs years ago, too many wankers & know-it alls! Sarina Aeromodellers Club is a great bunch of blokes. I don't get to attend as much as I would like to due to work commitments sadly. No politics just a bunch of blokes having a great time. This past weekend they even went R/C speed boating due to all the rain we have had. If anyone is up this way you should attend the Old Timer flying comp coming up in July...should be a great weekend camping on the airstrip...and running Combat and control line and anything else also between the formal comps.

Mick Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 This is a video of the maiden flight of my 150cc 5 cylinder radial powered Corsair. I left the cowl off for the first flight to ensure proper cooling. It has since flown with the cowl on. I have telemetry transmitting cylinder head temp to me on the ground & it has shown the motor actually runs cooler with the cowl on & fitted with appropriate baffling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsor68 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 KA8 Scale... just under 2.5 meters span and a cheap foam airframe but these babies fly great on the slope. Yet to be maidened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 ASW28 2.65 meters with electric motor. I am thinking of taking the motor out and using it solely for slope flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
