Slopetrashuk Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I also see that Lee's Boomerang is now Darren Kelsey's Elan! Wonder if Lee's missus knows he's upgraded!Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I was intrigued to see Lindsay's Vega on p24 using the same 24kg.cm 'standard' HS7945 servo as Andy's huge Extra 300 on p117! Even uses the same model colour scheme. That Vega must be some golden age Hot-rod! Edited By Steve Houghton on 28/07/2014 20:37:38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics of Greenacres btw. Andy Don't worry Andy - once we have Kg.cm sorted we're moving on to N.m via Kg.m, carefully side-stepping the question of the difference between mass and weight! But its a big project mate - we're in it for the long haul! Just hang on in there. Haven't got mine yet - should come tomorrow. Just in nice time to be packed away for the hols starting at the weekend! Beb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kettle 1 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 To add to the section by Simon Cocker 'Silent Wings' in the September issue there is a video on You Tube that gives a taste for the meeting held at Great Orme North Wales Sat May 31 - Sun June 1 2014, the PSSA Mass Build meeting for the Jet Provost, other types of models were also flown, as you will see in the video. A video done by a guy called 'Celtic Memories', he's done a lot of flying event videos and he's done a excellent job with this one to. The video mainly is a snap shot of Saturday, those that haven't visited a coastal slope site are in for a treat, the video really captures the essence of the day, and Simon is seen flying his electric sports models, others are taking to the air as well. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Lee's missus knows he's upgraded! Andy Nope so keep stum....anyway i flew mine harder than that elan!!! i have always wondered why we do the old weigh it and wing area stuff, i did used to weigh mine on scales, but does anyone actually care?? i know i don't really, i am bothered if it flies well, light or heavy and especially for aerobatic models how well it does certain things and any coupling involved, i am always interested to know what gear they have used (servos) that gives me a nice starting point in terms of power required, i shall read all about my Elan when i get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those bacon butties and full fry breakfast were worth it then! . This should put the sales up! Thanks Ed(s)! Terry Ps - great mag again and not just because we are in it!

Keith Evans 3 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Having just got around to reading Nigel Hawes project X build article I notice that the tail surfaces are glued to the airframe prior to covering. I find it much easier to cover them prior to gluing them in place or am I missing something? Great mag though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 If we still (most of us) had access to the digital edition without now having to pay extra when it was included, there's a small chance we'd see it here concurrently with it's posting out to us...
