    So sorry to read of Bill's passing. Although I never knew Bill, I did benefit from him and his work because, like many others, I had a number of Merco engines in the past. RIP Bill, enjoy that big Flying Field and Thank You.

    Very sad news, my deepest condolences to the Family and Friends. Never met you, but as a fellow aeromodeller I classed you as a "mate". Enjoy that big Flying Field in the sky....

    There is no Yak 3 at Kiev Museum. I believe the aircraft shown by Bucksboy is a much modified Yak 50 made to look roughly similar to a Yak 3

    Apparently the new guy (John Hope) purchased Unitracts when Tony Goodyer retired....... I am not related in any way, shape or form, just had good service in the past from John Hope (and, of course from the 2 Tony's)...

    FANTASTICO!!!!! Very pleased for your Friend Please let your Friend know that after many years in aeromodelling, competing and watching P47's all over, I have never, ever yet seen one that does not behave. Perhaps that may have calmed him just a little prior to his recent great flight................ :-D Please give your Friend my congratulations.....

    Hi All As it says on the Title, I am after getting, buying or borrowing the Brian Taylor Plan of the Focke Wulf Fw190. No other plan will be of use, it must be Brian's. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks for looking maurice

    Sorry for the delay since last post. The reasons are many including enjoying flying and doing some other projects, but the main reason was that the wings I had built by somebody else was not in my final opinion what I was happy with. Took a long long time reaching the decision, because I now have to build the wing. Still, I have made a bit of progress on that with the ribs drawn out and the retracts decided upon. Just need to draw the plan and sort out a few other things. I hope to be cutting wood in a couple of weeks. Hope to be back soon......

    I agree with Donald Fry, to argue merely gives credence to the "conspiracy theorists". Had Apollo 11 (or indeed any other manned moon landing) happened when the group I belonged to met in the Wimpy Bar and later pubs, had anybody come up with the "non believing" comments, they would have been given short shrift (eg "Oh please go away, take a Bob Martins and lay down for an hour" or "Don't be a 'wotsit' all your life" ) and discussions on other subjects would continue unabated. Nobody would spend anytime arguing with the "non believer". Where has this direct and clear communication disappeared to and why?

    In our Club, we call the standard box mounted to the side of any DLE a "Noise Diverter" for the simple reason that that is all they do. All DLE-users in our Club have fitted reasonable mufflers or inserted the "pepperbox" type of noise reducers and much experimentation is done with props.   Edited By maurice northcott on 17/07/2017 18:12:31
