Nick Rigg Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was looking forward to the SebArt Shark review as I recently had this as one of two options for an electric trainer - I eventually chose the Multiplex Mentor as it was a lot less expensive to buy and equip (and because of you your rave review) The review was a little disappointing though. It followed the RCM&E tradition of showing lots of nice external and flying shots and hardly any showing the interior fittings, mounts etc or mention of the hardware used. And what's this obsession with Flightpower batteries? There are other makes available, usually a lot cheaper and often just as good....

David Ashby - Moderator Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Obsession Nick? FlightPower distribute the SebArt range and so supplied the batteries for the review model, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Rigg Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Fair enough re Flightpower. As a matter of balance, I've now read the Intruder review which was much more like it - well done Alex, now all you need to do is to clean up and move over to EP....

David Ashby - Moderator Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Actually Alex was flying electric decades ago, bit of a pioneer in some respect but he's solid 'glow' these days of course. I tell him he's a pioneer someone looked up to by all electric flyers ........just to wind him up....it usually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Startazz No1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I got mine a couple of days ago now but only just had time to flick through it but should get a good read over the weekend but i did notice the article on the spring sortie and saw some nice looking warbirds which are right up my street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Just read the full size camel article. Great read - more of this kind of thing please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcho99 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Great issue this month. Nearly read it all tho, it's left me wanting more! How true is the editorial! I've just started building the Nijhuis Typhoon, not done any building hardly all winter, but now the weathers getting better i'll spend time indoors? I'll learn one day! I think the exhaust could do with nipping up on the Mustang on Page 69, have a look Some great articles, i'm loving the scale features at the mo and full size reports. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hindle Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 why does Alex always use a * when mentioning electric ? Can someone tell him I find him offensive !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 That isn't offensive. It is offensive when they say those "£$%^&()* electric models. I did have a quiet chuckle a while ago at the club. One of our members has a big electric powered helicopter. His batteries cost £150 each or a mere £100 if he buys them from Hong Kong. He complained that they were losing power. I asked how many flights he had had out of them He said about 50. Oh well, not bad, only about 10 gallons of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Collins Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looks like June is a good issue but as I have only just received the May issue, and there is no sign of the June issue falling onto the mat, I will have to your word for it. I've written to the subscriber email address, hopefully they will get things sorted soon but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I do think that the broaening of the content is a good thing. I particularly liked the peice on the Camel. a simple 3 view drawing would have added considerably to the overall peice in my opinion. Perhaps a few more articles along the same lines would be appreciated. With a little emphasis on how they might be modelled. The DF is also very interesting, at so many levels. Perhaps some peices on the biographies on your contributers and individuals who have shaped the hobby. The list could include Peter Miller (whom I have now found in an old magazine testing engines, also a 1960 contoliner), Carl Goldberg, Vic Smeed, Phil Smith, Eddy Keil. A page should provide a pen portrait, maybe 2 for some. Anyway I applaud the broadening of the content, from ARTFs and Alexs travels to events, good as they are.

Andy Green Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Still no JR 12 article, it was on the list in May as being in the June issue. In the June feedback when I asked where it was David said July. Can we have this on the website, I for 1 am really interested in the review. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
