Kevin Fairgrieve Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It does not seem like 4 weeks since the last one. It looks to have a good spread of reviews, maybe too much emphasis on ARTF! Might just be me though. Nice to see a traditional build too. Said to much already for the non subscribers, so go out and buy it.

Tim Hooper Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Had a quick skim through. Enjoyed Mr Ashby's editorial, with its exortation to leave the comfort of the usual club field and go and fly at an informal event. It's a move I made some years ago, and still reckon the fly-ins are better than any commercial show! Oh yes, and there's a pic of my partner-in-crime on page nine. No, not Mr Fenton or Harris, but the very winsome lady with the trainer under her arm....... tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Doh - not a good month for me! Three daft mistakes in one article! A typo, then a "getting me words muddled moment" and finally one of those where you change your mind at the last second about something your going to say, but only change the second half of the sentence! Grrr! But the basic point's Ok - they are details really - honestly! Ah well it will keep you on your toes - I only do it so you'll read it! BEB PS No, I'm not going tell you what they are you have to find out! PPS Pete and Chris are disqualified because they already know as I told them the other night on Skype when I had read the digital version!

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I somehow think "Little Roisin" will be taking the event pictures herself soon Danny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't worry BEB, the other mag I subscribe to usually manages to get at least one typo into every paragraph sentence! This month looks good but there now seems to be an increasing trend in repeating stuff that has already appeared on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I feel sure the great Kendo Andersonic will have a comment on Maltese article by Nigel Hawes seeing as he is there at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I noticed something in the letters page that intrigued me. It was the one about the Balsacraft Sea Fury and that the models were coming back into production. Any substance to this story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I thought the piece on flying in Colombia has the potential for getting you into all sorts of trouble. At customs: "Ah, that white powder is actually cyano filler - honest - for my model aeroplanes" At the soaring site: A simple request after a suspected brown-out of "I need to check out some new gear" gets you driven into some very dodgy areas of Bogota to meet a man called Carlos from the FBI's Most Wanted website. Can you add any more? Edited By FilmBuff on 07/05/2014 11:12:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nigel's ''Project X' looks a lot like a Telemaster (see below) with a trike u/c. Perhaps it could be named a 'Trikemaster' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Got mine yesterday but not had chance to read it. However, I notice that the banner on this website/page is still showing last months issue.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sadly the truth is rather more prosaic Martyn - David updates the banner and he's away for a few days having a well earned rest BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prize fund just went up big time as you will read next month! A few people have likened it to existing / previous designs, but I guess as it's a generic trainer type it was bound to look like something else, even though I cobbled it together from a few sheets of balsa one dinner break! Incidentally it can be trike or taildragger, If the editor would let me I'd post a pic of the finished article! We'll be opening a build blog as soon as I get back from London and I have time Nige. .

Lima Hotel Foxtrot Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 All fine and dandy, as usual it's one of the better model flying mags. But... Is it me or is the double page workshop feature rapidly turning into an extended advertisement for Deluxe materials? I have no problem with this - it's good stuff - but one wonders if the quid pro quo for the factory visit (I do hope I'm not mixing mags up in my head!) is a heavy run on promoting products in the magazine...? And if so, hey, why not? The products work, and it gives out a few good hints and tips in a tutorial form. I didn't know Foam Armour can be mixed with acrylic paint.

A.A. Barry Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 LHF, I do agree with all of the above, the products do get frequent write ups in our local ( Aus. ) mags as well, personally I have found that altho there are some great items, that work very well, here in Aus. their pricing is a bit too high where there are similar brands work equally as well, I think.

Erfolg Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have not received my copy as yet, although i do not need to have it to relate to LMF's views. I suspect there is possibly less promotion on the basis on a payment basis, but is related to products forwarded to the magazine for review, use and press releases. On the positive side is the use of high street products by Nigel Hawes in particular. This does resinate with me, as there are not many model shops where I live in the outskirts of what is now a big city and use more frequently building type products. The remoteness and limited access is something which I am sure is an issue with our Australian and New Zealand fellow modellers. Another aspect of many products, is that they are broadly similar to trade products, although sold in smaller quantities and at higher prices. So perhaps more emphasis on trade product substitution, with hints on if the differences are significant, and how, if possible how to optimise for modelling purposes.

Bob Cotsford Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Took my copy to the RC Hotel and left it in the lounge, when I came to look for it the following morning it had disappeared - I suspect a guest had taken it to read on his flight home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A. Barry Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I received mine today, after a quick flick through of the free plan, most impressed, once an avid I.C modeller, I have been inducted into E.P. not saying that one is better than the other, altho in the case of multi engine models, E.P. seems a little more reliable. having disposed of all my smaller I.C engines, I am bending towards E.P for this model. Great job Tim Another fine issue of RCM&E A.A. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
