[The May Grand Prize Draw]

Let's give this one a go, the other entries have still not found their way to Dubai !!

[New video]

Hi David - Just receved my subscription copy of the May issue and immediately tried the video again, SUCCESS.  Congrats to Tony on what appear to b 2 great models.  The Lightning does it for me and may decide to build that one to tear open the skies over Dubai.  Best wishes and keep up the good work.

Hi David, just tried again both via your site and You Tube and still no luck.

[New video]

Hi David, just clicked on the video to watch the Mig and the Lightning and the screen from You Tube returns the message "We're sorry, this video is no longer available". What's up ?

[The April Grand Prize Draw]

OK, here we go again, please send the prize to me here in Dubai !!

[The May issue Nijuis free plan teaser]

OK everyone, the plane is on its way to Dubai !! 

 I remember as a lad sitting in the cockpit of a Lightning at RAF Coltishall, from then onwards it has been my wish to fly in the full size, however, apart from spending a fortune in Cape Town at Thunder City, I guess this model will fill the gap very nicely, thank you.

[The March Grand Prize Draw]

Let's give it a go !!  Would convert to electric as I am just getting into this "leccy" magic.  Whole new ballgame after 33 years of i.c.

[Pick a plane 2008!]

Here's a range of aircraft to fire the imagination :-

1 - Hawker Hurricane

 2 - F4U Corsair

3 - F4 Phantom

4 - F86 Sabre

[The February Grand Prize Draw]

Entered the competition a few days ago, however, some research has revealed that the Tiger Moth did attack a ship. 

"The NZPAFs first action came in 1930 when the Moth dropped an improvised bomb made out of a treacle tin on to a ship suspected of gun running. The bomb did no damage, fortuitously, as the target turned out to be a local missionary vessel."

 The above was taken from a book about the history of the New Zealand Air Force, don't you just love Google !!

Hope this is what you were looking for.

[The February Grand Prize Draw]

Having test flown both a GWS (about 40" span) and the Great Planes Tiger Moth(70" span),  I can't wait to give this one a flight as well !!

[JP Mini Aviator free prize draw]

Would look really good on a calm morning over the desert here in Dubai !!

[4_stroke Crankcase Breather]

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, I do hang the model nose up after the flying session for a couple of days to help the oil drain from the fuel tube.

No problems at all and the engine is a real powerhouse.

[4_stroke Crankcase Breather]

I have an RCV 91 CD installed in a World Models Mustang 60. The crankcase breather issue was a concern to me as I did not want to have the excess oil on the plane. Whilst running the engine in I connected a long (like 1.3m) length of fuel tube and had it "dangling in the breeze". When this worked fine and deposited the oil aft of the tail, I then routed the fuel tube in the fuselage and exited near the tailwheel. I know the instructions said a maximum of 6", but the system works fine and despite very high ambient temperatures as we approach summer, the engine has never missed a beat. By high temperatures I mean 39° and that is by 10:00 in the morning !! It does get a lot hotter in full summer !! By the way I live, work and fly in Dubai. I can supply photos if you are interested.
