Status: offline 		Hey sama,i am in Perth some of the time as well.What do you fly,and where you at?
The best part of forums like this one are that it doesn't really matter where you are,the information is good for all,and the help is universal.
No expert by any means,but pm if you need anything.
Cheers,
Bleary.

I fly my stryker around the back of a council house. Large, open space with a road on the other side. Nice for showing off stunts.
Sama, You asked in the stryker thread if there is a slo v in Australia, well I talked to the owner of my LHS and he say's they dont sell them down here.
Ps, seems like everyone here lives in Perth, anyone live near me in Melbourne?

Status: offline 		Hey im from sydney. Fly strykers at the local footy parks mostly. When i say fly i think i should say crash. Self taught and fly alone. Altho i am slowly seeing more and more people at parks flying planes.
Im looking forward to being able to order a few F27-c bodies. That F27-C motor mount looks tough.

Should be good for us to complain on if it takes them 12 months to get the F27-C to our shores. I spoke to Model Flight last week and they were a little bit vague on the possible time frame for the RTF and ARF versions - I guess too soon to get an idea?
