24.01.2022 New Skyleaf Leader A1 have arrived price is $7388.00
24.01.2022 The old girl has done quite a significant number of flights now since she first flew in 2010 so it’s time to treat her with some new servos. Big thanks to Brian... Simpson from Futaba for the quick service delivering these new HPSA700. The rudder and elevator was easy enough to change but the ailerons had me worried as I had to cut the covering. To my delight I found I had made prevision for a servo change when I built the model so that made life a lot easier. I recently read a Peter Goldsmith comment about using PVA like a contact adhesive then reactivating with an iron. I love trying different techniques so used this one to re apply the covering when I folded it Back. It worked a treat. I think I will be ready to have some flights on the weekend and re trim.

19.01.2022 For any body that wants precision and power like never seen before in a Servo you have to try the Futaba HPS 700. I started by retro fitting these into my comp...etition Pitts S2A. I am now so impressed I am changing over other models and would use nothing else in my new builds and big jets. These servos are just the best. See more

01.01.2022 Vietnam Challenge 2020 - Race Report Q1 was up. I hit the track, and my car was feeling super dialled. Unfortunately got tangled up with a car over the rhythm section coming onto the straight which cost me some 8 seconds. Drove hard and worked back to within 2 seconds of Hara but ran out of time. Finished 2nd for this round. Q2 & Q3 were similarly uneventful runs for me. Car feeling great both runs, just riddled with driving mistakes and plenty of hook ups with crashed cars a...nd back markers. I would settle for 2nd in both of these rounds, making the TQ out of reach. Q4 was ran on Sunday morning. I managed to finally have a clean run, taking the win by 9 seconds and setting the fastest overall time of the weekend. All my equipment was on point heading to the finals. Finals Finals time was quickly approaching. About 45 minutes prior to our practice session for the A main, we had some rain. This really affected the track because of the surface adhesive they had used, which was glue. We took a gamble for the final, looking at the conditions of the track and the coming weather, we mounted around 8 sets of tires including some super soft long wear Zipps. Start of the final kicks off. Hara, I and Wataru getting a clean start. Hara making a small mistake over a jump allowed me to take the lead. I led for a few minutes, before subsequently making an identical mistake on the same section of track, giving Hara an advantage coming onto the front straight. I was positioning myself to take the inside line coming into the first corner of the straight, when suddenly it started to rain, sending both our cars running off the track into the fence! Luckily, I managed to recover quickly with Hara right behind me. The next few laps were chaos as we all adjusted to the new conditions. Fortunately, my car was working well in the wet conditions, allowing me to make a clean break and build over a 25 second lead. They called the race 20 minutes in as the rain was only worsening. All the drivers voted to have the main result stand in a majority vote, resulting in me taking the win! The track was super dialled. A fast, fun flowing circuit with medium grip from the glue. The new Futaba 7PXR performed brilliantly all weekend and the Futaba HPS CB700 servos performed perfectly (even in 15 minutes of rain during the A MAin) Big congrats to Zac Ryan and Watura Takishiro for the podium finishes. Big shout out to Hara, who was an unfortunate to not have a finishing result reflecting his true pace. It was shaping up to be a good race before the rain. Big thanks to the organizers in Vietnam for setting it all up and making us feel welcomed. We will be back again for the next one . Cheers Mark and Aaron Stringer
