  1. My first post , page 9 ended :   " But I guess we have WWll Luftwaffe to go through first ! "   then on page 16 :   " The Fw-190, a front runner here : there is a Brian Taylor plan at 60.25", so what is the point of a Tony Nijhuis one at 60 " ? "   Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.......      
  2. Whilst the comments in the foregoing statements are true enough, what was the point of the Page 13 note from Tony Nijhuis if everyone is going to ignore the recommendations in it ?   On Page 1 of ' Pick a plane ' it states that the free plan will be produced for ' our Autumn Special Issue ', which implies that there will be a complete plan in one issue, not two, or three...   Provided the rules for the vote are followed , then presumably a complete free plan for a model of about 60 " will appear in the Autumn Special Issue of RCM & E.    
  3. Quite so, but this vote is for the freeplan in the Autumn issue of RCM & E. The 72 " Spitfire was deemed too big, was it not...See Tony Nijhuis ,page 13.
  4.     Hi Alan,   On Page 13, Tony Nijhuis made the point that, ideally, the result will be 50 - 60 " span due RCM & E restrictions on free plans.  
  5. Righto alula, you enjoy the ugly and difficult, I always prefer the pretty but easy myself .
  6. Vulcans : a four Vulcan ' scramble ' was unforgettable. 16 Olympus engines at full powerall on the runway, all rolling at the same time, and after lift off, each climbed and banked at a different angle to avoid the slipsteam of the ones in front. No one who ever witnessed thatwas un-impressed! But it was built as a high level bomber, not for low level dash, and aerobatics. B & V 141.....Toougly ? An aeronautical freak ? Personally, one of the few aircraft that I justcan'tfind attractive, but good luck if you can get support !
  7.    That will please a lot of people, looking  forward to seeing it.    In the meantime , a fantastic photo of the prototypes,from 1953....... !                       
  8.  Alula,     I still support my initial choices for the vote,: Miles 18, Miles M.20, and P.56 Provost,      because of their simplicity, but it is clear they won't win.       I am still allowed to enjoy flying  models from different eras, or warbirds !      
  9.     These EDFs are all fun,  easy to assemble, and easy to fly :   Phase 3 F.16   Starmax He 162   Starmax Skyray.   They look and sound great !
