IanN Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 A good mix of articles this month; a very well balanced issue. Something for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I got mine today too; I was pleased to see the Planet 5 reveiw, and the cartoon at the end (I'd appreciate that amount of skill - non flyers / women eh?). The rest was of usual quality, although I was disapointd that MR. Hawes had had to share his coloumn with the build. More to go, birdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 My only complaint is the same as usual, it does not last long enough.... As for the build from a plan article, I though I had written some of it so I guess I must be doing something right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Of course the star article is by one "Timbo",enjoyed Davids article on the Pawnee,and Andys onthe Saratoga 40 although I agree with him over pricing.Similarly with the Denight Special..When discussing a replacement model with Galaxy,Peter mentiond the Pawnee,I didnt like the look of it from the website.Davids article brings it out into a much more attractive package and his enthuisiasm attracted the model to me..Peter millar is there with his bi plane plan ,does that man sleep.Love the Spitfire,This months Mag is very full ,very informative and very enjoyable Thanks Everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks Stephen. We photographed the Pawnee for the cover recently and I spent a morning flying for Graham who had the camera in portrait mode (it's better that way rather than crop a landscape shot for the cover). Getting a clear shot of a model coming towards you and especially one that is bang on sharp is very difficult but we got there eventually.......got the shots on the cover.......and someone in the office said..........who held the wings for you then But that model is flying....honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Harris Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi Chaps. I'm rather inspired by the Intro-Vert, I have the running parts, just need the sheet Depron and it could be my first plan build ... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Fidling Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Awesome, Truly loving the pawnee! as regularly being towed by them in full size gliders, it may be a model to bust the bank for at somepoint this year!Thank You RCME!

Chris Card Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just finished mine, a great read as usual. The stand-out feature for me was the aerial photography article by Reg. Well written and charged with an infectious enthusiasm. And points to Timbo for being frank about the shortcomings of the sloper he reviewed. But David, honestly... You can see the wings of that Pawnee bowing where you've chocked the wing tips up for that shot! And adding some authentic looking mud to the wheels to make it look like it had been through a take-off - well that's just sneaky (Just kidding!)

David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 No one's gonna believe me Yeh, the mud looked good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 No one's mentioned the cover strap line 'top of the crops' - we're very proud of that. It sits alongside 'poultry in motion' for the Graupner Funky Chicken a few years ago......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sorry, but for me it was a bit of a "what were they thinking..." moment. Nice pun, but - for me at least - probably better placed in the artical its self.Edited By birdy on 10/02/2010 22:55:26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Clarkson Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Not had a chance to read it yet but was very pleased to see the Pawnee on the front cover, as i have always wanted this aircraft since first finding the Hangar 9 site. Can't wait to get stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
