Speak to Stan at Phoenix Model Products. He still does the Mini Metro. Maybe he might do you a wing kit and plan?

The man's got a point though! I liked xp....and the little paper clip.....

The suit wasn't supposed to be like that....but he had such dreadful wind! Ah Well! Better in than out!

Chrissz. I'm pig-sick jealous of your Turbo. My mate and I had them in the late '90s and had many hours of fun with them flying from pristine RAF runways. I have an unstarted Precedent FunFly which should also be a nostalgic build...when I get round to it. I hope you get a similar amount of fun. And the Sky sport 6 keeping it all nice and simple (we were on Challengers at the time).

Thank you for the download Peter - now I see how extensive it is it kind of makes sense why that wasn't in the magazine (although in 1994 I did managed with the plan only). It looks excellent and too much to put in the mag - maybe a web address might be useful next time?

I dont want to get into a p'ing contest - and should have guessed I'd get told off for having a view - I'm not deriding foam models - the point being that do they really need such extensive reviews. I have one of those type of helos - they are wonderful. But do they need 4 pages?

I stopped buying RCME years ago as I found most of it uninteresting, but bought this one as I loved my Chilli Breeze years ago and was tempted again. A great plan and interesting article (I still have the June '94 one). But a QR code? So much 'tech' seems to get used mainly 'cos it's there; I would have found a web address more useful or perhaps both? Maybe it was felt that extending the article was too much for those that weren't interested, as it was already quite lengthy? Ace questioned the lack of space....but there were four pages describing a toy helicopter that might have been better employed! And another foamie review. To be honest, the rather extensive coverage of what I feel are foam toys remains one of the reasons why I rarely buy a copy. But those CBs do look nice!

“Your call is important to us.”...is just another way of saying that we haven't got enough staff as we are cutting costs..so it's not that important to us!

When I was in the RAF, we used to say there were three great lies...."Transport is on the way", "The cheque is in the post"....and one that can't be written here. I think the "Your privacy is important to us" is the fourth great lie of modern life. I know it is a requirement, but years ago it used to be a discrete little banner, now most websites have a huge page blocking banner (at least this one didn't block the page) that seems to give you just enough time to start reading the website before it obscures it. Infuriates me.

Sorry for being thick? But what has been introduced:

Not good news for any surviving UK model businesses though....

Hi I've just seen this but I have a Mini Capiche that I was thinking of selling. Secondhand to me and unflown by me, but in quite reasonable condition. West 36 and servos.

Perhaps this needs a new topic starting - I think us oldies could fill that pretty quick. I respect the mods who have a difficult job - people seem to seek offence these days.

There is one on eBay at the moment for £30, which seems a bit expensive. Also one on Amazon.com at 22 USD but didn't see if shipping was practical.

I found my Vandal picture - looks the same to me (sorry but can't scan it in)
