I like the ideas Jonathan.   My personnal preference this year would be to see us NOT ask Tony to build a British WW2 era aircraft. WW2 era would be fine as long as the subject is from another nation. Variety is after all the spice of life.   I think a twin of some sort would be great probably electric & below the 7kg weight limit that applies on a number of club fields up & down the country. My personnal preferences therefore are as follows....   1. P38 Lightning 2. Me 110 3. Grumman Tigercat (having seen one fly at Seattle Seafair this summer)   May the best plane win.

Hi All   I would like to say a big thankyou to the Greenacres Club & RCM&E for putting on a great event. Jonathan & I were only there for Saturday but enjoyed it hugely. It was a pleasure to meet some of the forumites & David & Graham. As Jonathan said we loved the eagle Timbo.   As an earlier post said there was a great variety of model on the flight line which added to the all inclusive feel. It was a great pleasure to be parked on the flight line next to the big Corsair. What a fabulous model, 5cyl radial, superbly built & weathered & flown exquisitely, a real joy to behold.   Sorry we didn't hang around for the saturday eve BBQ (late change of plans). We did try to find you David & Graham to say thanks but just couldn't see you about, so, thanks again for a superb day.   Keith

Looks good to me. Bacon rolls for breakfast, pub lunch & BBQ in the evening. What more could the model flyer ask for   Cheers Keith

Hi All   Not sure if it has already been raised in prevous posts but what catering arrangements are there in place for the weekend, or is it bring your own?   Keith

Jonathan & I should be there but likely only for the Saturday. A small matter of Physics & Chemistry A level papers the following Monday & Tuesday for Jonathan meaning the 2 days is not really on!!   Peter, you may remember I contacted you about your A test a couple of months back & you said you had other arrangements in hand. I take it that never materialised?

Apologies for existing

Eerr is it my imagination or is it the 1st April & was it the village of Loof or was it Fool   Very good chaps

Hi Delta Whiskey   I got my interest in model flying from watching the flying at St Pauls school Addlestone in the late 70's. I was in no position at that time to enter the hobby (cost primarily) but always had an interest. Those summer Tuesday evenings on the field at the school I went to were a highlight of the week.   I only actually got into the hobby about 5 or 6 years ago with my son Jonathan. We are now both highly active members at the St Albans club in Hertfordshire. Addlestone is where I cought the bug though so thanks.   Keith Lewzey

I feel we need to put a reason down guys so:- 1. Al's MK - purely because they are local enough for us to drive to & have a huge stock. 2. Robotbirds - Always next day delivery, or you can collect, excellent quality Hyperion goodies. 3. Horizon - The service on the DX6i recall was extraordinarily good, I have never known the like. 4. I was going to put my YT 30e size Zlin 50L for the superb quality on a model for under £100, but my vote has to go to the Dream Flight weasel Evo for the quality & simplicity of a product that fly's so well.   Seasons felicitations, Keith

OK how about the   Trainer Minor (trainer theme) or Widget (eeeeerrr?) or Ballyhoo (aerobat theme) or Freshman (trainer theme) or Prodigy (trainer theme) or Zeroth (look it up - a bit  tangential) or something else

Hi Austen   What is the 3D capability of the Seagull Edge like? The reason I ask is it is smaller & heavier than the Hyperion model!

Hi David   The Hyperion range of models plus motors & esc's are all available from Robotbirds & look very good I have to say. If you have 5 mins dive into their website & have a look.   I was considerring the Overlander extra 260 30e model for myself a month or two ago but ended up going for the YT International Zlin 50L which I felt was more an aircraft from my teenage years & the colour scheme looks great. Jonathan is looking for an Edge or Extra because it is his era & more 3d capable (he hopes) hence the request for the experience of others.   Heres hoping for a few more replies.   Thanks David

Do we assume nobody on the entire forum has ever had one of these models or can recommend anything else 23/30e size???
