Glyn44 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, Wondering if the RCM&E February 2017 issue is with you subscribers as of 14/01 I have not received anything to date. I just feel I normally reading it by now. My subscription is still in date. Regards, Glyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Bertram Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Next Monday or Tuesday I should think, the digital version is up and running. Cheers, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I know it went to press last week - so yes I would think you should see it early next week. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Poke Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Heck, I haven't received the January copy yet. The December edition turned up about 10 days ago! Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn44 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 G Ok sorry for my impatience! Digital ok for looking up previous editions but it's old fashioned paper for me, and it keeps my friend the postman in a job! Thanks all, Glyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GONZO Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just got my copy. The 'Raider' article took my interest. Still got one (of many) I made back in the early 80's to the original design. Its fitted with an OS 25 Max and heavy Skyleader SRC-1 servos. Last time I flew it must be 10 years, or more, ago. A plain bearing 20/25 engine is plenty, more power does not make it go any faster. Plus, plain bearing motors are more (a bit) durable when you hit the ground. Good fun to fly! If anyone wants to make an IC version I still have all the original info and I could scan the motor mount and post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's a nice plan, but I have doubts on the Baby Bolt being suitable for PSS with a fully symmetrical wing section. I'd have a stab at it off the slope if someone drew up a semi (or flat bottom) for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've not seen the mag yet so cut me some slack if I'm wrong but are they seriously suggesting a warbird with a fully symmetrical wing section is suitable for PSS? Who came up with that assertion and are they qualified to make it? My fear is that people will have a go, it won't work and we'll be back in the dark ages with people thinking that PSS isn't viable in anything less that 50mph. This will do more harm than good IMO.

Mowerman Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Mine arrived today, annoyingly my copy of 'the other mag' arrived at the same time so now I have to decide which to read first. A pity the publishers don't get together to stagger the publication dates then we can spread reading them out over the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Crook Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The Baby Bolt article only covers an EP version, and suggests it could fly as a PSS since the original Clive Smalley design for an OS.10 does. The author asks for feedback from anyone that tries it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So it's being suggested for PSS but it hasn't actually been tried? Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 To be fair Matt what the author actually says is: "I have not been brave enough to chuck her off one of my many local coastal slopes, but Clive's original design has been slope soared sucessfully. I can't wait to hear that an experienced PSS pilot has sucessfully glided Babybolt and find out how she fared - do let me know if that pilot is you!" I think that is fair comment. There is a clear indication that this is an unknown quantity to some extent and that experinece would be required to take this on.

Trevor Crook Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yes Matt, when you read the article it's entirely about an EP model. The PSS suggestion is almost a postscript, which is fine - doesn't anything fly off the slope if there's enough blow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Not really. If it's too light and the wing is too fat, it'll just go backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
