Steve Houghton Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Got it! Mine arrived today, so don't abandon hope all you mag-less subscribers. So there is a Santa Claus after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 January 6th 2011 Don't panic there seems to be a worldwide shortage of the Jan RCME, perhaps the aliens have abducted them. I usually get mine here in New Zealand a day or two before the newstand release date but no sign yet and it's summer here NO SNOW. Damn your British Weather affecting my holiday reading. But hang on a minute, could it be? YES, Global Warming has finally hit our hobby. Oh well out to the shed to carve out a pair of floats & I might as well make some skis too. Ooh but when it does finally arrive I won't have to wait so long for the Feb. issue or will the snow in affect that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Towell Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Got through to some one helpful today at the subscription place. got an apolagie and my account credited with an extra issue (offered to resend but I'd already bought it). Aparently, and as Mr Ahsby said, they have had major issues with peoples magazines going missing all over the xmas period. Thanks for looking into it Mr A.

Michael Hickman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I too have requested an extension to my subscription, and bought a copy from a newsagent, before they ran out. No complaints about either subscription company or RCM&E but I do not understand why Royal Mail have still not delivered either the magazine (apparently sent from Coventry) or BMFA membership & club membership (within my own town). The weather here has not been as bad as many parts of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun K Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't be too upset about late dleivery of your January issue folks - I'm delighted that the NOVEMBER issue has just hit the shelves in Australia yesterday and that's about a week ahead of the normal time!

Tim A Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hay Shaun, maybe you live on the wrong side of the ditch, guess what was in my mailbox this morning??? Still better late than never.

Tony Richardson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Crikey Tim. we don't get ours in Canada until the beginning of the following month even in the summer when there is very little snow . ARCHAEOPTERYX is it possible to get the plan David and if so where, now that looks like an interesting build, I would like to get and study the plan before the article if available. Cheers m8.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 The plan is on sale here Tony. If you're a subscriber then you can read the article in the digital archive? Yes, certainly a bit different that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Tony, wonder if the difference in delivery dates is determined by wether you subscribe or by it from a bookshop? Looked up our NZ distributors website which gives the on sale date for the January issue as the 20/01/11 !! Regards stay warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony , Did you recieved the plan already the designer Dick van Mourik is a mate of mine and I made the drawing for RCME so if you have any question about it please tell. Will you be making a build threat I hope so and looking forward to it Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi Ton, yes I have already recieved the plan and did a bit of a show and tell at our last club meeting, some thought it interesting others ugly and most wondered why the tail feathers were missing all expressed a wish to see it fly. As I am rather a slow builder Ton I will most likely spend the rest of this winter making a kit of the parts, if I can find time through the summer I may start the build ( and a thread then ) I now need to source a nice 120 twin maybe I should bite the bullet and go for the OS 160 or SC 160 twin. As I do not as yet have the Jan issue of RCM&E the one question I will ask is what kind and how powerfull are the servos for the ailervator/ elevon wing tips. This will be a really interesting build and I am looking forward to starting will keep you posted. Tony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton van Munsteren Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Tony, Have asked Dick for the type of servo's he used so will come back on that. Looking forward to your build. Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
