Mowerman Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 How about some articles from the ladies point of view, Some do actually build and fly models whilst some just 'put up' with us boys and our toys. We have seen some input on this forum, lets have more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add the use of LiFe batteries for that purpose too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris North 3 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I would like to see a detailed article on choosing and setting up lights and LEDs in an existing model or an article on how to convert a model to perform toffee drops without using a one shot external bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Timmis Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've been trying, not very successfully, to take some airborne photos of the Chipmunk that Ihave just completed.

Shaunie Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Only a problem if they are incendiary toffees (AP, HE). As long as they are biodegradable, wrapped in a 2" 50mm layer of recycled foam with a clearly affixed allergy label, no problem. Shaunie.

Mowerman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 How 'green' is our hobby. With the current 'anti plastics' movement (Reducing plastic bags, recycling plastic cups etc ) how long will it be before plastic foam is banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wright Stuff Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Posted by Mowerman on 01/08/2016 16:34:39: How 'green' is our hobby. With the current 'anti plastics' movement (Reducing plastic bags, recycling plastic cups etc ) how long will it be before plastic foam is banned. Pretty green, I would have thought. The 'anti-plastic' thing is mainly aimed at 'use once' disposable stuff - and quite right too. Most modellers I know are most reluctant to throw anything away!!!

eflightray Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Posted by Percy Verance on 11/07/2016 13:40:02: How about the occasional article on various known modelling personalities, but focusing on any other hobbies or interests they may have apart from model aeroplanes? Seeing them in a normally (to us) unknown context could be novel. Mick Reeves touches on this sort of thing in his website, with some information and photos from his trails riding days..... Makes a bit of interesting incidental reading for many of us. Edited By Percy Verance on 11/07/2016 13:41:16 How about the occasional article on unknown modelers who aren't 'personalities', you know, the ones who just get on designing, building, and flying model planes. Celebrities, personalities, I'm sick of them, give me a honest 'joe' anytime, much more interesting to listen to. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
