Whatever happened to the Miles Magister that was sold to RAM models for them to kit? Any chance the plan at least could be published for us to build? I assume RAM went belly up before releasing any kits?

Ditto, Turbulent sold to RAM models. Presumably the plans cannot be published as they hold the copyright?

Hi Folks

This is a complete list of my published material and includes two designs done for a prospective kit manufacturer which have now been bought by RCM&E and which are scheduled for publication

 

BOOKS

Four Stroke Model Engines, the first book on the new generation of four cycle engines and still the best on the subject.

 

Model design, published in August 95 by Traplet, paid lump sum.

 

High Flying on a Low Budget, April 96 Traplet, Paid £1300

Essential tips and techniques  £1500

Essential tips and thechniques Vol 2 £1500

 

COLUMNS

The Engine Bay  R/C Model World From Jan 84 for 7½ years. Originally an engine column but broadened to cover all aspects of modelling. Given up due to problems with the publisher over my book. 87 total

 

Radio Control Model Mart column "Sports Flyer" As from July 94 issue 11 columns, 11 Hints & Tips pages and 11 Problem pages. May 95 issue last, total 33 articles.

Radio Modeller, Miller's Tales, asked to write this column even though I had a column with R/C Model Mart. The only person ever to have two columns at the same time in rival magazines. First Column June 95 issue.19 to Jan 97 (Quit because of new editor Asked to start again in May 97) Moved over to RCM&E when Radio Modeller was combined with that magazine

 

Asked to edit gadget pages for Aviation Modeller International and create first few. Monthly at first.

2 by aug 96, 82 X June 2003

 

Gave up AMI HIDT pages. Promptly asked to do same for RCMW. First one published in Novemebr 04 issue. 11 before stopped

 

Then asked to do Miller's Tales again in AMI. first came out in October (Dec issue) This contued until AMI closed, then moved to R/C Model Flyer. Finally ended when Model Flyer closed end 2014. 

 

 05.+Transatlantic Notes Column for Model Shopper (USA, about 8 issues)

 

Safety First, Column for Radio Control Models and Electronics in early 80s, about 6

 

Millers Tales moved to R/C Model Flyer when that magazine bought out AMI.

Ok Pete,

Break over. Now can you get back to designing some more aeroplanes ?    😂

 

Seriously, I (along with many others) am impressed by your commitment to this hobby.

Also, it is nice that you haven't lost your enthusiasm (or even your marbles).

Keep up the good work.  👍

I am not too sure bout not losing my marbles!!

I can tell you that some years ago I did two nice scale models for someone who wanted to kit them.I am now told that they are with Kevin Crozier for future plans.

 

I am looking for inspiration at the moment

Unbelievably productive!  What an outstanding list!

 

I've built and flown a Ballerina. I have both a Rans S9 and a Li'l Cub built but, as yet, unflown for various reasons (partly the Covid lock-down).  I'm just, as I type, taking a break from my Fokker DVIII covering. The model should be ready to test fly by the end of the month.  So Peter's designs have certainly provided me with many hours of pleasure even if I don't fly the models (which I certainly have very intention of doing).

 

Thanks, Peter.

Thank you. That is one of the things that makes it worth while.

An amazing achievement, Peter.

 

The first Aeromodeller I bought was in 1974 and contained your article on biplanes for control-line aerobatics. I was fascinated by the subject and must have read it dozens of times and even pencilled in my own design on your sketch showing recommended dimensions.

 

The Duchess published the following month is still on my "to do" list fifty years later!

 

I think an enlarged version for RC would be a great choice for your next design (hint, hint).

I've only made three, Harlequin, Ballerina and Grumpy Tiger Cub. All are brilliant aerobatic flyers with no nasty habits and don't bite! They wont be the last.

I also look forward to the Miles Magister, my father learnt to fly in one and passed his PPL.

Thank you Peter.

Hi Nick.

I think I may have done an R/C Biplane done on that theme but maybe I will look into the idea.

 

Hi i12fly

Glad you liked them, they were nice and among my favourites. THe Magister was a nice model too and very accurate.  Enjoy.

Grumpy Tiger Cub was amazing as it would fly so well on one engine that one could work out which engine had died.  A club member has just built one for electric power but has not flown it yet.
