When it comes to model photography there’s a lot to be said for a low winter sun; Chris Williams presents his latest collection of on-board flying shots in his Scale Gliding column.

Next up is Danny Fenton and Make It Scale. Danny returns to the workshop to silver solder an exhaust system for the Saito fitted to his DB Auster.

Then it’s over to Alex Whittaker and his Weekenders column, in which Alex ponders the rising costs of aeromodelling as he attempts to breathe new life into old glow plugs.

Then it is over to Andrew James, who takes the Esky 300 V2, an Airwolf inspired, fixed pitch full body helicopter for a spin.
