nice fish 😀
excellent detail btw, is it going to powered and converted into a r/c boat or are you going to leave it as a static model?
kinda like a yellow bee i guesssss, but it has alot of control for what it is.
down sides are it cant do barrel rolls and the electriconics cant be moved into another plane.
but i dont mind at all. its fun to fly does loops with ease and goes fast. i like how you can control the engine so you can do level flight and save on battery time.
also if you break stuff everything is replaceable which is great for a guy like me!!!!!
yeah heres a photo, i didnt take the pic but it shows it in flight

man what a great flying day i had! i flew my aerobird well this morning.
i took off from a cricket pitch and it flew really well. climbed like a dream did some high up loops and stall climb’s. but i flew very far away and it got so far away that i wasnt able to hear the motor and could barely make out the plane!!!
i was having trouble getting it back in because the wind had taken it far away from me. i had to dive down get some speed and get it closer to me. then i did some close in loops and turns. very cool indeed.
i also some how managed to land the plane on the same cricket pitch i took off from. i idnt damage the plane at all today not one strach nothing! i am so very proud of myself.
in all i did a 10-15 minute flight and i had a ball, when i landed it was the best feeling. still feeling excited so if what i siad dont make sense im sorry :D.
trash you got to get your hands on one of these if you thought the a-40 was cool this 3channel plane is awesome. you have alot more control and heaps more power.
damn man those things fly!
cant believe how stable betty.K’s bit is. niceeeeeeeeeeee
damn man 1;15am! i thought i was keen flying my planes at 6am 😀
get some more spares if your gonna order from those guys save on shipping and time. you never know when your gonna break a wing or rudder.
BLAST!!
damn i wish i had the power to control the wind (give a few weeks ill work on that idea)
i cant go at the end of the week! going to the cricket this thursday and its also my birthday!!!!!!!
looks like next tuersday or wednesday f not thurs or friday! it has to be done damn it!
oh yeah i am (if the winds aloow) going to do the flight with chris boyce same guy you said aye.
yeah i have heared good things about the outlaw you will get a big shock seeing a outlaw next to your mirage plane.
the outlaw looks like a monster compared!
i just bought the sister bird of the outlaw the aerobird after playing with a mate of mines plane i had to buy myself one! now this plane rocks can do loops on command and can do some cool stunts.
its still a toy rc plane but its one of the better ones out there. i just got to correct on my landings and remember to cut the engine when im going in. i forgot to turn off the motor and the wing tip hit the ground causing it to move into the blade!!
took a piece out of the wing, no biggie wing cost 20 bucks each so i learnt my lesson!
and the damn wind prevented my handgliding today it came from the north instead of SE so it has been postpond to wednesday, fingers crossed that the wind blows from the SE then!
yep its at stanwell its with the sydney handgliding centre.
i flew my mates aerobird today its cool 3ch planes are cool, its so easy to do loops and stuff. had a bit of a heavy landing but hey it was the first time i flew this thing. i might invest in one myself:smiley16:.
btw trash how long does it take to learne to flew a handglider? and do you still fly?
yeah i just booked in a tandem lesson for handgliding. its a birthday gift to myself :D. ive always wanted to do it but chickened out in the last minute…. not this time (figers crossed)
any advice on what to do when im flying through the air?
yeah i know i do some real strange things sometimes, i dont mean too it just happens
.there must be alot of radio interfearence where i fly my planes cause they do cut out and drop out of range when im flying them. if i wasnt so lazy i would go to another park hahahaha.
i might try another park then.
second hand gliders? for 300bucks? serious?
nice work Impreza! cant wait to see the GT-40 shell all painted up, you going to do gulf LeMans racing colours???
damn well it comes with learning and the great thing with these types of planes is that if you crash em they are easy to fix and if they are beyond repair it didnt cost you much :D.
just dont add to much glue to the sucker the extra weight of the glue will effect performance so glue lightly :smiley2:.
trust me i know from experience and the many mistakes i have made!!!
yes i know now not to go to high up! its a shame that these things dont have better ranges but for like 50 bucks what would you expect aye?!
im hooked on this flying business and want to fly something a bit more advanced.(with better radios and more control surfaces!!!!!) was thinking along the lines of a GWS slow stick heared off other forums they are good to learne how to fly 3channel planes plus when you mastered the plane you can use the electronics in another plane.
i just have to find a place that sells gws stuff i guess now.
but ill still fly the A-40 i was doing some mad acrobatics with it before i lost it!
I LOST MY PLANE!
well its not really lost i know where it is i just cant get to it! i was using my 49mhz plane and it was flying great when all of a sudden it just kept on climbing and climbing and climbing it got so high that it got out of reception! then it flew straight for a while and landed in a construction site! this has happened to me before but before i was able to climb the fence and get the plane now……. now the bastards have put up an electric fence. i thought they were joking or trying to scare people with fake signs but to my disappointment and shock(literally) its powered up. i can go in there tomorrow and get it when there working.
it just led me to ask this one question for trash can you get plane without controllers?
just in case you never know
yeah dude you got to fly those things in like 0 – 5kp/h winds, try flying them in a gym if you can.
yeah i flew the plane today and it was great. startin to get the hang of the thing really well now. can do up to 5 min controlled flights before the batt starts to lose its charge and it flys slow and doesnt climb as easy.
anyway i got range issue with my 27mhz plane seems to lose reception at a range between 20-30 metres. i can tell its losing reception coz the plane starts to drop and i cant hear the engines faint wine at that distance. has anyone else experienced this problem? i havent experienced it witht eh 49mhz before. that would explain why i cant get to the hights you get to trash coz my plane just drops out of reception and doesnt climb no more. i dont mind the range issue coz i like to fly the thing in real close, but i wouldnt mind seeing it fly at hieghts up to 60metres!
i tried ground launching the plane today but the tar road doesnt seem to smooth enuff where i fly coz it kept on bumping along, how much room do you need to ground launch the A-40. ill try to launch it off the net ball courts tomorrow or the day after.:D
well i got my first batch of foam at the back of just fish store:smiley2:
but if you want to get the fresh stuff which is probably a good idea then go inside a fish store and buy some. you can get 1.2m by 50cm sheets for 3 bucks each.
12 bucks a year is peanuts and i like peanuts put us down for it when it finailly gets off the ground.
hey trash how high does your A-40 fly too? i can only get as high as the rubgy post i fly at, i finailly hit the post yesterday but did no damgae!
also how much do you charge your plane batt for i just do it till it gets warm is that the right thing?
man after seeing these things i want one but still thinking whether to get this or a racer mini z, but it would be fun jumping/running over stuff 😀
hey all well i found a video of a A-40 in action its off some dudes ebay auction, i dont know the guy nor am i tryin to sell his product all i am pointing out is that he has a video of the A-40 flying. it has weird background music the type you listen to if you want to get to sleep, very relaxing anyway heres the link.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3167528643&category=2563
btw the video link in under the title video
well if things work out i will get a mini z for xmas. 😀
and a million dollars wouldnt be bad either….
you must have shares in 5min epoxy trash by now!:D:D
we really need more people coming then hopefully we can start a mini z club and get some racing going, show those 1/10th guys that these things can race as well.

man u gotta relax a little.
i meet the guys they are cool. all they are interested in is micro racing and anything to do with micros to be exact.
i reckon there should be a mini z club in sydney all we need is some leadership, im more of a tag along type of person.
if all goes to plan the guys should be able to make a mini track for outdoor use, will be cool.
