snap Nick, took me 25 yrs to do them all, it’s a long drive from Kent. 😒

Probably the best day of the week so we had to make the most down here in Kent. Club mate Andy flew his one-tank Sabre. We have asked why he flew it with one tank missing but haven't had a sensible answer yet. Mike flew his newly built Chilli Breeze EP, very nice, and I maidened my new Stork Light F5J (new to me).

Reminds me of my time with the mag', and the special issue with the Nijhuis FW 190 on the cover a few years ago. Just as well we didn't sell many issues in Germany because the whole lot got pulped the moment the German distributor saw them 🙂. Perhaps it should have done but it never even crossed our minds...

A fine spring day with calm conditions this morning. Jim flew an old model donated to the club last year. It was obviously i.c. at first then electrified in the late 1990s with a brushed motor with a belt drive reduction (sounded really good). It pottered along beautifully. Only thing is we've been arguing as to what it is, the word Matador keeps cropping up but is this correct?

Perkins service and repair Futaba so give them a call, Geoff in the service dept will advise. They’ve also invested in a new Futaba UK website.

An excellent account Mark 🙂

It’ll have to be compatible with your radio’s protocol John. In this case the add-on SBus Rx is bypassing existing board’s receiving duties. -

Good question Rich. I’ve subsequently bought an aftermarket Fuby SFHSS RX from Ali Express, bound and flown it using a Futaba TX. I’m going to cover that in a future column. But I’ve not tried the Radio Link. Why not give Perkins service dept a call and see what they say? -
I think we’ve found it. It’s rather nice…. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/151687-if-you-have-flown-by-betty-huyler-gillies/

Morning all. An unusual request but, one of our club founder members recently passed away and, at his funeral, he asked that a poem ‘if you have flown’ be read. Trouble is, the family can’t find the poem and a web search has shown anything. Can anyone help please?

How many flyable models do you have?
David Ashby replied to David Ashby's topic in Model Flying Polls
I just had a little count up, it's 30 ready to g - the majority gliders - with Rx, and about 5 more that fly every now and then when an Rx needs a home. -

Someone once said "the person with the most models wins", I think that may just be you Brian 😉 -
No, sadly not.

Hi Erick, I'll ask Tony if he still has his.
