At the 2016 AGM it was decided to bring the cut-off date forward to December 1995, hence models like the Loaded Dice etc could be used as they are so popular. We drew the line at 2 metre models and requested that people stick to 10cc sizes to keep costs down. Steve

Only two days to go to grab a bargain at the RMFC Swapmeet. Bag your self an early Christmas pressie!
-
Come along and grab yourself a bargain. All tables in the main room have been snapped up!

I agree with Minty. If you have items to sell, this is the one to go to. Had a table for all of the past swapmeets and always done well and moved on a lot of stuff.

He didn't know his model history then. I had one of those a few years ago. Quite a few years ago!!!!!! -
Been told that I have to put this piccie on from last Sunday! Chris Anderson said I was smiling when he took the photo (and all the ones above) cos I'd eaten all the cakes that my wife, Sue, had baked for the event. There wasn't much left of them at the end of the day, evidence of what a great baker she is. Edited By Steve Dunning on 31/07/2016 11:04:57

A few photos from the day with more to follow. Barry and Marion Meredith huddled under their sport brolly. Two Upset II, an Atlas and a Miss Norway, all electric powered. Upset II with Atlas in the background. Paul Bardoe made it to the event. Taurus is now re-engined with an SC 52, replacing the Lazer four stroke. Two visitors from the Beverley Club brought along a nearly completed Super Lightning. OS 61 RF is the engine. I had to look twice to see if it was paint or film covered. It was film covered to a high standard. Partial view of the UKCAA compound. Starting boxes kept the starting of engines safe and away from other fliers. A Curare utilising a GRP fuselage from way back when. Relatively heavy by today's standards, flew extremely well on the OS 61 FSR and pipe. Shelley Redworth brought along three models, Bar Fli, Moonglow and an Illusion. Bar Fli was flown continuously throughout the day, Shelley showing it off to good effect. Group photo. 14 fliers and 25+ models, what could be better. Tony Bloomfield carries back his Adagio, designed by Ken Binks. Edited By Steve Dunning on 30/07/2016 19:54:01

Both of my 60 and 45 size Supra Fly's. Easy build and performs really well. Several 45's have been (or being built eh Minty).

Thanks to Christian and Minty for helping make it a successful day, putting up the netting,, barbecue, tea and coffee. Don't think Chris had one flight all day. Everyone went away happy after a great days flying, minimum of regulations, just those required for a safe days flying. No mishaps, everyone's models went home in one piece and all the pilots won a raffle prize. Doesn't get any better than that. Looking forward to the next one. Steve

Please have a look at the layout of the site for Sunday's event. If pilots could drop their equipment off in the designated area just pass the club house, then proceed down the track to park at the end of the field it would be appreciated. You will note the provision of two starting boxes. This is to try to prevent any accidents occurring from starting in the model drop off area. The weather is looking good so lets have another good day at Retford MFC. Safe journey Steve
