 I have the opposite problem.I can't get them together.Admittedly,they are not the real  McCoy but the oriental copy!

  The AUD has fallen 30% in 3 months so prices will be up in OZ  too.So buy now before they go up.

  Which radios are the easiest to program?

  Great weathering technique on the 109!

  35Mz radio will only get better as more and  more flyers switch to 2.4GHz.

  I have been using a DX7 for a few years and now want to upgrade to a DSX9.Here in Oz it costs twice as much.Is the quality of the DSX9 better than the Spectrum sets?Some people say they are made in the same factory.

 Old Timers make great solo trainers as they fly real slow but are very fragile.

  Has anyone out there in balsaland used hot melt glue guns for building?They seem to be a good idea.

Yes Ian,the DX6 is unbeatable value!99% of flyers will need no more than a DX6.

 I have had a DX7 for 3 years now,with minor niggles such as a blown fuse[luckily on the ground] and am upgrading to a JR 2.4MHz 9 channel Tx which is a better quality product,Yes,I know it costs twice as much!The price of peace of mind.

 The flywheel effect of a heavy spinner produces a delightful idle!

Great magazine!I enjoyed the recent article on chargers.They are certainly more advanced than the old 24hr trickle chargers.

 They should rename this as the Colin Buckle blog site.

  I too had a break from R/C flying for 10years.I was amazed at how difficult it was to start again.Not quite like riding a bike.It really took a deliberate effort.We are fortunate here to have great weather.I fly 3 days a week now which tends to be hard on ARFs which only last about 3 months before the covering falls off and they start to look tatty.The sim is a great aid to learning;it costs nothing to repair an image.

 I like WOFTAM=waste of effing time and money!

  I will be flying all the time in 2038 with feathers on my body ,in Heaven!

  Come to Australia.Our strip at our field is 1 kilometre long .

  I tried my local sex shop but they did not have any amyl nitrate.

  What is FOD?

  Just keep sand and grit well away from the motor.

  Switch to petrol!It is 1/10th the price of glow fuel but you don't have an excuse to go to the hobby shop.

  It is a bit sad .

  I remember the R/C models in Aeromodeller magazine,huge bulky fuzes with a tiny motor perched up front and sooo expensive! We used to fly C/L in the local park with our Taipan[Aussie] diesels.Dad was a doc and used to wonder where his ether and castor oil stocks were disappearing.

  We get lots of bright sunshine in Australia and I prefer sailing glasses by Vuarnet.Good to for that glare you get with cloud.

  I have a DZY 48 twin for it.
