Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what the expect in the new August edition of RCM&E.
Our articles in this month’s magazine start with ‘Model Magic’ as Matthias Hausmann details the development of his F4H model of a Robin DR400. Next, Nigel Cartwright describes the construction of his Bell 47 helicopter, familiar to all readers of a certain age from the MASH television series.
Continuing the scale theme, in ‘Make It Scale’ Danny Fenton revisits Wolverhampton University to join fellow enthusiasts at the Scale Indoor R/C Nationals. In the latest instalment of ‘Scale Gliding’ Chris Williams sees several maiden flights of models made from his scale glider designs and returns to the White Sheet club for their Spring soaring event.
Our first event report of this issue comes from Mike Freeman who travels to Popham airfield to see what was on display at the busy southern model show. Next, we return to Chris Williams for part two of his latest Pro-Plan article describing the build of a 1950s Slingsby Skylark glider.
Sticking with gliders, in ‘Just For Fun’ David Ashby builds a Fresh RES glider then scours a local swap meet. Back to power models, Chedworth RCFC’s first retro meeting in early June was well attended; event organiser Dick Spreadbury took time out from his busy day to record some of the pilots and planes.
On the final stretch now and it’s over to John Stennard and his latest ‘Insider’ column; indoor jets, biplanes and amphibians are amongst the varied topics covered this month.
Topping it all off is ‘One Man & His Shed’ in which Dave Goodenough adds to his diesel collection and witnesses a Spruce Goose take to the air.
