Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 First impression - not sure the photo of two reprobates representing the mass build will attract that many new participants! Joking apart, it looks another great issue. I'm particularly looking forward to reading the article on single channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Just found mine in the post box. Terry W has a treat in store when he gets back from his travels - he's quite keen on the Robin...... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I will have to second Chris's comment, bit like the blind leading the partially sighted. I enjoyed Short Finals this month Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aky208 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My first ever issue has arrived today and I have already found an interesting and relevant article on the mounting of electric motors on IC converts. It also made me want to buy the sonic boom from hobbyko. Many thanks Nigel H. Aky208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Mundy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi David, I'm a new subscriber and this is my 3rd issue. I am looking forward to reading it. Is there a link to the build thread or photos of the depron Handley, I have had a search but cant find anything on it. It looks a bit fiddly but i may have a go as I'm just getting into depron. Regards Roy Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 14/10/2012 21:06:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi Roy, yep, just find the blue mouse icon on the home page and it'll take you here for all the build photo links etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bit that did leap out at me was Mr Cockers 15S powered DR400...15S is over 60 volts DC.....that's a scary voltage!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Randall Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Arrived this morning. Read about 80% so far. Excellent issue. Good to see BEB in the flesh. Edited By Alan Randall on 15/10/2012 19:43:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Beaumont Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Alan . I thought his photo was quite "hairy" .Couldn't see much of him in his "flesh" as you put it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chambers Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Got mine at the weekend - has it been a month already?! Had a quick flick through and looks a reasonably interesting issue. The WOO article looks especially interesting on the mythical nitro ingredient. I know Alex Whittaker usually reads these threads, so just to say to him, intake manifolds! Not sure year his 'new' (or fresh) car is but if older than 2003, it may be one of the affected engines. Maybe RCM&E should do a car special sometime with recommendations on the practicality of interior space of different model cars. Any used car dealers on here? Cheers, Si.

Terry Walters Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Posted by Pete B on 13/10/2012 16:18:35: Just found mine in the post box. Terry W has a treat in store when he gets back from his travels - he's quite keen on the Robin...... Pete Yep! Back now and really surprised to find it in the post box! Lovely article on the Robin 400. I had a share in a full size Pierre Robin Dr315 Petit Prince G-AXDK (below) Couldn't afford to continue fullsize flying when I moved out here! It was just a tad smaller than the 400 and with front hinged canopy doors that cut your head open when standing on the walkway if you forgot to bend backwards when closing them! Oh - and the door catches/handles, parking brake and the brake drums etc all came from the Citroen 2CV! Would like one of those Graupner ones very much! Good article. Mag looks good all round!

John Hickson Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Sorry to hijack a little.. I took out the electronic subscription but I dont like it. Is there a way to change it to the normal, paper sub or must I wait until renewal date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 John, I don't know but just give the subscriptions dept a call and they'll be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My only criticism is the write up of the NATS, Alex has done a great job with his report on the scale side of things, but wheres the rest? I was really looking forward to reading about all the stuff I missed, only being there for the Saturday, I just thought with something so big and importatnt on the calendar there would have been more, other than that, great mag as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 oh and nice pics in the second part of it, but only pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulH Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A huge thank you to the subscription organisers, I received my November issue today in Australia. Last year our Australian subscriptions were peripatetic and sometimes nearly a month late. This year we saw a huge improvement after February with mags arriving just a few days after going on sale in the UK. This month it is truly exciting to actually be relaxing with the hard copy as the ditital version hits the net. I've already galloped through Alex Whittakers photo shoot of Barkston Heath, some great photos of stunning models, and am starting in on Shahid Banglawala' Hotshots with a hope of eventually improving my aerobatic performance. But this issue is just crammed with goodies, I didn't even mind that it was far too windy to fly today. Thank you RCM&E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger in Dubai Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 So surprised when mine arrived on my desk this morning. Normally arrives about a week or 2 after UK publication date, or sometimes not at all, as David can testify (thanks again David for sorting that out. Thanks to the staff at RCM&E and the distribution team as looks to be a great mag, once again. We are so lucky that there is a dedicated team of people to bring us the wealth of information they do month after month and then a "Special" issue as well. Looking forward to a good read this evening. Safe landings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Arrived yesterday, so I started to read today - looking good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Good edition- I particularly like the new aero articles by Shahid, going to be reading those with relish . Not a criticism of the magazine, more a query re having an electric glider tug- sure the power is smooth but surely the need to be constantly recharging 15S of high capacity lipos (presumably via a generator) kind of defeats the point of "silent flight". I'm not knocking electric flight, just questioning how realistic a proposition an electric tug is- I would have thought the low fuel consumption of a petrol tug would be a major asset here.

Mark Lubbock Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I liked the single channel emulator- I wonder whether it is really realistic? I was just wondering if it had a random function (probably just when you set the longest motor run, on the last flight of the day) of failing to respond. That was my experience of single channel anyway-lots of exercise!!!! Keep up the good work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 According to my memory of escapements (from a long time ago) Mark, it's very realistic indeed, (except that it's reliable). Mine is set up as a compound escapement (one click for right two for left). When I let go after a right turn there is the classic little kick to the left just before rudder straightens up. I have chickened out from going the whole hog though, I'm feeding a Spektrum Tx buddy socket. So I have a pilot on a "proper" Tx just in case the brain gives up.
