There's a thread in the Tony Nijhuis Plan Builders section.... A search will find it as I can't copy the url on my phone 🙂

Indeed. No need to lose plans just because of a digital delivery...

I like the paper copy, but regularly 'cull' my collections as it's heavy, and takes up precious space. I save any plans and associated articles, plus anything of particular interest. If the choice was an electronic copy, or nothing at all, I'd take the electronic mag........

Indeed - added!

Nice promotional video.

Except for many of the athletes it's not a hobby, it's their livelihood. And I don't think you'd get tens of thousands watching us fly our planes for a number of days. Think of the furore if the authorities did nothing and a terrorist flew an explosive drone into a packed stadium; the minor inconvenience a few are facing for a few weeks would pale into insignificance......

My Double Trouble and ASP61FS. No cowl yet - to be fitted when: a. I am happy with the engine / model match b. engine is tuned. Can't be maidened until our landlord cuts his wheat crop 😞 Think I'll finish my P47 next (have stolen the engine from my MiniPlane for the DT above...)

IIRC the prices we see on Ali or BG exclude VAT so prices increase at checkout....

Lol. Streaming is sort of downloading and using at the same time, without permanently storing it. So, you can stream, for example, iPlayer content, and need to be on-line for the duration, and have good download speed. Or, you can download at your leisure, save it and watch later, without an internet connection. An online only version of the magazine would not need a fast internet connection as you'd download it (possibly whilst eating breakfast, or sleeping) then read it later, off line.

Don't really see any need for streaming for magazine.....

Me too...... 😀

It's hundreds if athletes and tens of thousands of spectators..... but I take your points.

A few elderly gents in a field playing with toy planes is always going to lose out to hundreds of athletes and tens of thousands of spectators as a terrorist target, which I suppose this NOTAM is based on.......

If you have bought the content, you should be allowed to download it as well as stream it. In effect, building your personal digital archive to view at your leisure, with no additional data usage after the download.

Click on a spam item, click sender and you will get a drop down with a choice to 'add contact'.... That should do it.

Totally agree. It may also result in articles being more 'timely'... Only issue would be the free plans... I know they could be downloaded but few people have the capability to print larger plans. Lots of possibilities....

Depends on the client - think with Thunderbird it'll be all future messages. As you say, adding a contact is a good solution.

I too have used them for years, with no issues. Delivery times vary greatly - from a few days to a number of weeks so probably not the best choice if you are in a hurry! Also, there are often multiple listings for the same item with varying shipping charges, so 'shop around'.

yes, when heated

That's the work of your email client. With most, marking a few as 'not spam' will be enough to prevent a repeat....

Ah, I see. Cheers.

How do they work? Do they have individual 'pockets' for each edition, or do you need to punch holes in the mags? Or something else.....?

Got great service from SMC..... ordered a Double Trouble ARTF mid afternoon on Tuesday last week. Got delivered less than 24 hour later - free! Feels like all our model shops with an online presence have really upped their game in the last couple of years.

I too have NiMh in most of my ic planes.... They work and don't need regulators or hv servos

I use it exactly like film, using an iron to stick the edges, then using my ancient domestic heatgun..... pays to do a practice piece first.
