I wouldn't disagree!

singahobby.com, who took over South Herts excellent Advanced Glow System is still showing these items on their website. https://www.singahobby.com/index.php/shop?filterBrand[]=SOUTH+HERTS&rangeslider=0%3B0&filterFromPrice=0&filterToPrice=0

Keeping things simple this year. No AGM and all committee members have unanimously agreed to carry on for another year. Committee members will produce their officer's reports which will be emailed to our membership early December along with 2021 club fee details. Membership renewal will also be paperless wherever possible.

Thought you may be interested to know that I have just received a South Herts Intelligent Glow switch (AG-2) for a twin cylinder engine from SINGAHOBBY.com, complete with operating instructions as supplied originally from South Herts. Hope this helps, Dave

Just heard the news of your sad loss Mark. As a past member of the Loughborough Model Flying Club, Brian was a true gentlemen and had a great sense of humour. Very best wishes to you and your family. Dave Blakemore

Please count me in too!

Flexibility is the key. As I fly fixed wing electric / IC / Glider (DLG and Slope) and indoor, I fly according to the prevailing weather conditions.

Andy, I believe that the Piper Commanche was built by Mick Charles. Dave

Please, please, please!

OOO yes please, Please put my name in the hat!

What about P.E.T. (Primary Electric Trainer?)

Andy, You recently wrote an article about using an adhesive / sealant for hinging. Am I right in thinking that it is used in making aquariums? (fish tanks). I am unable to find the article in question. Would be very interested in the method you use, assembly sequence - operating gaps, etc.

Ooo yes please!!

Just the job for teaching my Grandson to fly!

Ever the optimist, I would be pleased to be included in this draw for my grandson's favourite plane - saw a full size example flying at Shoreham Airshow on Saturday - very nice!! Dave

Yes Please!

Please include me in this draw.

Please include me in the draw - have to be in it to win it!

Ah my first 'proportional' system - consisted of a length of cotton wrapped around the shaft of a Mabuchi 380 motor, the other end attached to one side of the rudder. A length of elastic on the other side of the rudder. The motor was powered by a FLAT 4 1/2V battery from the headlamp of a push bike. Control was by pressing the tx button to wind on the cotton onto the motor shaft, release the button and the elastic pulled the rudder (and unwinding the cotton off the motor shaft). By pressing the button for the same length of time as releasing the button - the model flew straight ahead. Varying the 'on' , 'off' button pressing periods resulted in proportional control and was a lot easier to do than explain! It had a built in fail safe too. If you ran out of range, ie loss of signal, the elastic band pulled the rudder to one side and the plane spiralled to the ground. The model was a Half tone by the now famous (in modelling terms) Dave Platt. Fleet Galloping Ghost was the next step. Life seemed ever so simple then.

Yes please!

If successfull, I would retire my Flair Cub after 10years of stirling service!
