Hey Ben,
Have a look for maybe a ford or holden station wagon. My family had one early last year and i could fit my 3m yak in it and all of the gear plus an extra person .

Look foward to seeing you in a few weeks at Toowoomba comp or maybe even sooner
Cheers
Aaron

Could fit my super extra comfortably in a BA Falcon wagon. Heaps cheaper than a SUbaru and more versatile with decent towing ability.

Bummer hey, well I was hoping it would fit in. I wont be taking anyone else in the car with me. I still may buy it just becasue I can get it at such a good price, PLUS it has a tow ball lol.

Hey Bones I'm looking forward to toowoomba too, I still dont think i'll be flying (due to not having a plane still lol). Though i'll just come and talk smack get some IMAC pointers

Anyway hope it helps.

Yeah someone else mentioned that a program was floating around in their radio as well, but also deleted that model and restarted again and the problem was gone.

Hi guys

I have an AXI 2208-14T 1500kv electric engine and a 10 amp speedy running on 7.4v's that will start and run on any throttle setting for about 6 seconds and then cut. after that it wont start again until i replug the batt in again. i have rebound it and cleared the model memory in the Tx and re-programed it and it still does it.

Thanks for any help
Matthew

Speedy might be set to 3 cells causing the low voltage cutout to cut the motor early on a 2 cell pack.

They are 2m from the back of the front seat to the hatch.
I can fit a 2.1, or a 2m pattern plane in without trouble.

2.6 would be to big by the sounds of it.

Falcon BA wagons are great, never buy one new for they are worth less than 50% after 60,000 kms. But you get one with that many kms you will get years out of it, without loosing much more on resale -150,000 kms. I hate fords but them is cheap.

There's a mistake on one of the 2010 IMAC sequence descriptions on the ASAA web site. Only one person has mentioned it to me so far. Has anyone else noticed it?
