Editor Kevin Crozier talks through what is included in the December issue of RCM&E.
We start the last issue of RCM&E for 2025 with another Model Magic feature as Mike Freeman locks his camera onto a 30% Farner Werke target tow plane as used by the Swiss Air Force. Then we literally ‘Spin into Summer’ with Rich Harris as he reports from the UK & International Autogyro Fly-In held at Winterton MFC. Mike Birch was a leading aerobatic pilot in the 1960s and 70s and Stuart Mackay reveals the history of one of Mike’s pattern planes, the Capricorn, which he has recently returned to the air. In the first of our monthly columns, Danny Fenton (Make It Scale) returns to BMFA Buckminster to compete in the British Scale Nationals before Chris Williams (Scale Gliding) hits the slopes with more classic scale soaring coverage.
Tony Nijhuis takes off with the second half of this issue, proffering a Pro-Plan for his 29” span Jaguar GR.1 EDF jet. Then we hand over to Mike Freeman as he reports from what is likely to be the last ever Greenacres MAC Fly-In. Our kit review this month is from Dave Goodenough who tapes and glues together the quick build Cinnabar glider from VMC before Neil Hall returns with his latest Golden Glow musings, this time taking some small gliders to great heights with a power pod mounted Cox .049 engine. Finally, Dave Goodenough (One Man & His Shed) boils up a gummed-up glow engine, reveals some foam mega models and attends his local scale slope event
