Im not complaining. I don’t think this thread is a complaint. If anything its a sympathetic airing of potential causes for the observable change. I think RCME is a great mag with a superb team. All power to there elbow. I have in the past written for and been published in RCME

I suspect one of the problems facing the magazine is that those who still buy such things are old and we’ve seen most of it before. Those to whom the magazine must cater - the young- have different tastes maybe. Sadly paper isn’t usually to their taste.

Interesting comment re ARTF. I agree. But it’s very personal. However I still clearly remember one article by Mr Chin the electric guy when he hand made a space frame motor mount for a Brabazon I think, using carbon thread and cyano. Proper model engineering and much more interesting than any number of ARTF reviews…usually. Trouble is that’s a dying art now. Not enough of us do it AND write about it to fill the pages and not enough people want to read about it. That’s what the forum is for.

Possibly neither. It’s an admission of the observable fact that a digital magazine is much better for photos. Pinch and zoom, brighter, more detail etc etc. I’m not saying that digital is overall better , but for photos it is and in business you have to pick your battles.

Nice looking racer. mine might have been in a Foxjet. I built many and made many derivatives

Thanks. I recall many years ago I did have an os10. No idea what became of it but it must have found a good home. I used it in something but again, can’t recall what thanks for the input D

I’ve pm’d you

Thanks John. I was aware but always useful to be reminded. Thank you. 🙏

Looking for a wasp glow motor. 06 sized or similar. Vintage model awaits D

I know that. Still grieves me that money wins. Cest la vie

Why should anyone? The whole damned thing is nothing less than a restriction on people enjoying a hobby so that someone else can make money (commercial drones). It disgusts me because if I said i was setting up a business that required football fields and cricket pitches to be closed there'd be uproar. This is airspace theft pure and simple.

My technique exactly. Vaseline and epoxy for pins and flat hinges , cyano for plastic strip plus a cocktail stick peg and drop of cyano. Never had one fail in forty odd years

I rub mine with beeswax or soft candle wax.

Is your question rhetorical or real? if real, does the plane glide? Try a test glide first.

Agreed. Having stood next to my son I was distracted beyond reason by his stupid taranis. Even he hates it now. I respectfully ask pilots who need this nonsense ( I argue the cylinder temps are nonsense. What you gonna do? Run up and open a door? Land? Sort it on the ground!) to wear ear phones. Otherwise someone might just stand next you and keep on jabbering in YOUR ear when you fly. Grrr.
