David Ashby - Moderator Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The new mag should be with subscribers any day now.

Tim Hooper Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Posted by Chris Bott - Moderator on 29/05/2012 23:35:25: Oops - now there's a thing... deleting the revered Mr Hoopers double post, I hit the wrong post Where's the undo button David? Not easy being a Mod, is it? Actually, in my own inept way, I was just trying to forestall the monthly, and irritatingly pointless, posts that certain members haven't received their copy yet, which just serve to detract from any meaningful critique of the issue in question. OK, so unleash the avalanche ...... tim (not received my copy yet) Edited By Tim Hooper on 30/05/2012 00:04:55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yes can we keep this thread for feedback and not for those people like myself who have yet to receive their copy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah.....and if it makes you feel any better, I haven't received mine yet either!!! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyFlyer Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Great photography - as usual. The usual plethora of kit reviews - so nothing special there. I particularly enjoyed the Spitfire cross-channel and Model Technics articles. One minor point, I may have this wrong, but didn't Jim Davis fly a Spitfire across the channel in the 1970s? Alex Whittaker's article about his 10 years of earning a living through writing about modelling was a missed opportunity I felt - and was really spoilt by his quasi-political rant at the end.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hopefully mine will be at home when I get back from work but I've just sneaked a quick look at the digital version (somewhat illogically I feel cheated reading it on line!) to see (but not read) the tail-end piece you mentioned and I'm really pleased to see that you've addressed a particular pet hate of mine - I'm merrily reading away, turn a page, hit the adverts and find nothing left to read before the magazine is finished. Is this what the Americans refer to as "getting closure"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Got mine this morning so I'm off to my favourite barstool for a read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I can stop nagging now - it's just arrived here in sunny SW France - so those who enjoy the Royal Snail service can start griping! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Post was really late today but it's arrived. A quick glance and it looks another goodun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well you beat me to it this time Pete. I usually get mine the day before you!! Have you been bribing the postie? Waiting with anticipation! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Another awesome magazine as usual, so well done to all involved. But even more awesome,I thought ,was the small article and link to the 3D printing experiment, involving a team from Southampton University. Where will this lead to? Awesome! John.

Gavin Livsey Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 "Short Finals" is a much better use of the back page. Never really thought that the old back page picture feature was a good use of a page, other than to boost the presence of a certain columnist.

Olly P Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Had a quick flick through last night, like short finals, but I did enjoy parting shot as something to show colleagues. The 3D printing thing looks interesting and I will be taking the mag to the beer festival with me this evening to give the full consideration it deserves!

Tony Jones Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Pages 72 -76. More self-centred, self-indulgent, self-important waffle and mugshots from AW. What a waste of space that could have been used in 1000 better ways. This is NOT what I buy RCME for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hooper Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Slowly paddling my way through..... Appreciated Uncle Alex' article re the cheap'n'cheerful bandsaw, and enjoyed Nige's chat about the Flair Volture electro glider. The Riot looks set to be very popular, and Pete Millers retro plan looks very appealing indeed! tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Harris Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Enjoyed Alex's article, always good stuff from him. Just wished my ' Brunette Person' was as easy going! Keep up the good work gents Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Much enjoyed. Alex made me laugh. Keep it up A.W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Got mine yesterday and so far very good - sat with a cup of tea on the terrace and chuckled thro' Alex's article and realised that I agreed with him over everything he said! So I guess I'm a 'Grumpy Old Man' now!? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris basson Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thought the 10th things every... Item was interesting, maybe we don't consider ourselves Test Pilots but even that 1st flight of an ARTF or after a major repair is kind of like a test flight isn't it? I think this advice is pertinent to many of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
