bouncebounce crunch Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have been a bit of a fan of many model designers and builders on these pages. I do know that they submit to other magazines too. Mr Fenton Mr Nijhuis Mr Hooper Mr Matt Jones Mr C Carr and a few more, but I would love to see a special edition on Peter Miller, he has been around for a couple of years ( not that his hair colour gives that away) and has a goodly amount of models designed and flown, RC being only part of his collection, those control liners would add something special to a RCME special too. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niclas Olsson 1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I ceratainly agree with bouncebounce crunch; A special edition with mr Peter Miller should just happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The number of Peter Miller's designs is enormous - probably greater than anyone - and we should have a 'Peter Miller' day at a model show so we can all bring along a P.M. model to display. Peter is also probably one of the longest running regular model columnists ( in various magazines but continuous I think ) and it must be about 35 years by now.

David Pearce 4 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 With a Peter Miller Miss Lizzy plan on my to-do list I'd certainly like to see more info on his designs. Miss Lizzy has a 'Golden Age' feel which is something I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Should do a special on me. I'm special you see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Paul, when you have as many published designs, written as many columns and published as many books as Peter then I will nominate you..........actually when you have published half as many I will think about it!

Paul Marsh Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It was a joke. Jeez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I forgot to mention Peter's books earlier....there are quite a few and they are all good practical books. Many are still obtainable. Look on the Traplet site. Edited By kc on 01/02/2015 16:08:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormB Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I also agree with bouncebounce crunch; I got one of Pete Miller's books recently - well worth it. Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Bertram Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There is a thread on this site "Congratulations Mr Miller" that lists 167 of his designs. He has done a few more since then. I have an RF4 on slow build and one or two others in mind, 3 or 4 of his books on my shelves and BBCs idea is a good 'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 At the risk of being very premature, why not have a Peter Miller Mass build for 2016 and have the day at Greenacres Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 that would simplify choosing next year's mass build project. Oh, hold on, did someone say Peter has 167 designs to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Or how about taking it slightly sideways and have a special edition on various, non model designer, folk? As in us, the readers and forumites? You could explore how they started, previous builds, what are currently on their boards, what they are flying, to what standard, what their workshop looks like, and what problems they have had to overcome?

Levanter Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes please Martyn K. Just the spur I need to finish Oodalally, Grumpy Tiger Cub, start Jezebel although I am still waiting for my Feb edition. . Bootlace will go on the list plus a couple of control line bipes. I hope to finish Yuppy Love this month and then I have another (at least) 30 of his plans to choose from and growing. Not only is Peter a prolific designer and builds at the speed of light, he is a very strong contributor to this forum. Always free with his helpful advice laced with humour and robust opinions. Good on you Peter (Keep wearing the teeshirt!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did someone mention Miss Lizzy, one of his best in my opinion,scaled up to 72" flew like a dream,this one is Miss Lizzy the 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've built the Jezebel, so got at least one so far for a mass build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I put one of Peters forward for this years mass build Dragon Dancer, so you'd get no argument from me I would be o.k with Peter himself selecting one for us to build, he's knows the gist of the mass build John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncebounce crunch Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Glad to see a few others agree Mr Miller would make an interesting subject for a special edition. fingers still crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
