Time flies and it’s time for the May issue of RCM&E already. So, what’s in store this time?
Tim Kearsley starts us off in style as he builds and flies the swept Bernard Gross Flying Wing from MVM. Shaun Garrity (Retro Ramblings) is next with recollections of aeromodelling musicians before Kev Scott brings us bang up to date with 3D printing, discussing the wide range of filaments that can be used to make a model aeroplane. Power Scale Soaring stalwart Phil Cooke is back with more slopeside action as he celebrates the 40th anniversary of the PSSA. Then it’s back to more jets, this time with turbines fitted as Thorsten Häs returns with part two of his Jet Power show report. Also returning is Lindsay Todd who completes and flies his Skybug One, along with the last two Pro-Plan sheets for this most unusual anhedral wing, H-tail, four-wheel cargo plane.
The second half of this edition begins with a review of Real Flight’s Evolution simulator before Keith Jackson (Aerobatic Scene) joins us with more pages dedicated to performing precision aerobatics. David Ashby (Just For Fun) follows, describing the maiden flights of his flying friends’ winter builds before Kevin Crozier pens another RTFM column, this time covering firmware updates and new model downloads to our recently reviewed Spektrum NX8+ transmitter.
