  1. Very nice Darryl and looking forward to seeing this fly on Saturday when we meet at the field. Travelling up from Muscat on Thursday and will be at the field at about 05:30 on Saturday and will bring the camera and video. No wonder there is bags of thrust from that size prop.
  2. Hi Darryl Excellent, well done. Having seen your other "conversions" fly i am really looking forward to seeing the Mars when i am up in Dubai at the end of this month. Cheers from a very windy Muscat. Roger
  3. Dale Brown, great books and lots of flying in them as well. He also co-wrote many books with Jim DeFelice and they are also well worth a read. Also just finished a great read entitled "The man who broke in Auschwitz" by Denis Avey. Although non-fiction it really is a great read about the life a foot soldier in the Rifle Brigade in the desert and then being captured and ending up in a camp next to Auschwitz and how he hatched a plan to spend a night in the concentration camp. Just started the autobiography of Steve Fossett.
  4. Hi Beth I received a mail from Holly Wykes (Customer Service) saying that the January issue would be posted to me and will be with me in Dubai within 7 to 10 days (that was 10 days ago today), still not arrived but will hang on a while longer. In the meantime I have been informed that the February mag has arrived (I am in Muscat, Oman at the moment) and will collect that upon my return to Dubai later this month. Seems as though things go awry on renewing subscriptions as I also had "issues" with the website renewal process and was fortunately in the UK towards the end of October and renewed by phone. Best wishes and hope the renewal process is easier later this year, keep up the good work on the magazine, it is the best out there in my opinion.
  5. Thanks Steven I will send them a mail shortly requesting information as I fear I may have the same issue as you have experienced. As i have been getting the magazines for many years more than I care to remember I do not want to miss a single issue.
  6. Still haven't received my January issue yet. Renewed my subscription in November by phone whilst on holiday in the UK, despite only expiring in January and still no mag. Please investigate and let me know when I can expect the January magazine. Seeing adverts for the February mag makes me worried it has somehow gone missing.
  7. Still waiting for mine as well. Hopefully will be here very soon a I see the February edition being advertised on the site already.
  8. Top class product and in my opinion, the only glue to use for canopies. It does what is "says on the tin" and does this very well. Have never had any issues with exhaust residue loosening / weakening the bond to a canopy. Safe landings
  9. Just read the tragic news that Pete Lowe is no longer with us. My condolences to the family and may Pete be blessed with many happy days flying in greener pastures. You will be missed.
  10. Received my February mag a few days ago (long way to get the mag to Dubai) and now already looking forward to another great read in the March issue. Keep up the good work and safe landings to all.
  11. Greetings for the rest of the festive season from Cape Town (on holiday here) to all at RCM&E and the "forumites" Safe landings Roger
  12. Flying the Taft Hobby Viperjet 90 at the moment. It has a 90mm fan with 11 blades. Only downside is the 5000mah 6S packs last about 4.5 minutes max !!! That is if you wish to leave about 25% capacity. The sound is great though. Enjoy whatever you decide to use.
  13. Nothing at all wrong with the GoPro Studio software and it's free !! When I incorporate my GoPro footage into other videos I use Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 17 (latest version upgrade from Version 15 a few weeks ago), this is not free . Enjoy your editing as it adds a whole new dimension to the hobby. Safe landings Roger
