Concorde Speedbird Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you have not read the mag- DON'T READ THIS COMMENT! What a magazine guys. But also tinged with sadness. The best piece of text in the whole magazine was the Editor's piece at the start about supporting model shops. I think we need to try and stop getting things cheaply from the Internet. Going to a local model shop we can talk to people, get advice, and for me, that is worth the extra payment and more so. Flying in not so perfect weather is also something we should be doing. Now I'm one of the bad guys here, I am not flying nearly enough at the moment. I will try and get out some more! The mention of Galaxy models is the prime example of the situation for model shops. We need to help them. Need some wheels? Need some clevises? Get down to your local model shop, as Graham said, every £10 or £20 purchase helps. I know I'll be going to Pegasus models soon. Getting a plane for my Dad, I need some wheels and maybe an undercarriage for my Domino as well. I could get these things a lot cheaper from the internet, but joining Graham, I will try to support my local model shop as much as possible. Thank you Graham for bringing this up, I for one will try as hard as possible to help out. Brilliant magazine, great review of Greenacres, I WISH I WAS THERE! MY FUNFLY COULD BE THERE, IN THE MAGAZINE!!! I also liked Pete Lowe's roundel tuition, the Foam-e Acro Wot review and the tempting free plan. Hmmm, IC conversion?

flyeruk Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Received my fiirst issue today since subscibing. Great to get it early and not waiting for it to appear in the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concorde Speedbird Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (Read previous comment) Went to Pegasus models today, bought my Domino wheels and a plane for Dad's birthday. Brilliant shop, wide range, lots of kits as well as ARTF's, shopkeepers were polite, helpful and imformative. I feel I have helped out a bit, and I will probably be back soon. Need a spinner, reciever. Better start saving! Nice review on the Sparrow hawk Mr Ashby, 50" span would certainly make it better. And servos in the tail? I would have done the same. That Acro Wot looks fantastic, I may get a kit one some time (I like wood, kits and engines!). This is the best mag in a while! CS PS- 300 posts! Only one way to celebrate...

FunnyFlyer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi guys - why is it that every month this thread often results in people simply posting stuff like "Got mine this morning", or "Haven't got mine yet". I'm thrilled that people get so much enjoyment from the mag that they have to tell the world when they receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyFlyer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 To be slightly more constructive: Peter Lowe's finishing article Shahid Banglawal's reviews and article The Greenacres and Bowden Trophy reports Mr Whittaker's shed nonsense - a repeat of something similar a few issues ago?

Ton van Munsteren Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 And even more constructive ; Great to seen my Corby Starlet design published but sorry to tell that the plan printed size is 74% of the original model. The drawing in the magazine is about 40" span and not the 52" which it should be. There are also some parts not correct some of the arc's on the part are flattened which shows very clear on the Rudder ribs, Wing ribs and Fuselage centre plate. No problem if you go for the CNC parts from RBCkits because those parts are just fine. Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyeruk Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just thought i would ask,does anybody know,how long after taking out a new subscription,the free gift arrives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 My free gift (flight sim software and USB tx) arrived well before my first copy of the mag. I think it depends on the timing of when you subscribed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon B Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Tony, i'm a bit confused. The RBC list shows the Corby, but with a 1300mm wing span. I'm getting confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Got my copy of the mag today.Just wondering why there is a review of the "new" Blade 450 3D, that has been available for nearly a year?Surely the Blade 450X is the latest offering along with the even newer and smaller Blade 130X and 300X ??

Bill, I did send an email to Graham and David Ashby and I think they have to sort out first what has gone wrong, after that they will let us know how to go from here.

I'm getting confused! Simon, Both Corby's are the same (my) design and started its life at first as a kit from RBC, my own protomodel took some more time to build and durring that time I came to the idea of also making this a plan for RCME. Did also made some minor changes to the design making the wing a little more scale so there is a little differance, the basic design is the same and also the wingspan. So there will not only be the option of a cnc parts set , vacuum parts set but also a compleet kit. Hope you like it are you planning on the build one its a lovely model and there are some great color scheme's to find on the internet and also some nice youtube vids.

Some even after proofing twice. At least Harlequin was pretty accurate. I draw my plans up and trace them. Then I build from the print, Then I make any corrections and send in a print. Eventually they send a PDF file which I get printed out and the check by laying my tracing over it. I then send in a list of corrections. Sometimes they are not all corrected Edited By Peter Miller on 25/07/2012 07:37:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
