Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what the expect in the new September edition of RCM&E.
Now for a quick look at the main articles in this month’s magazine. This time we are joining in with celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of J Perkins Distribution. JP have been long term supporters and advertisers in RCM&E, and we are very pleased to celebrate their ‘Big Birthday’ with them.
To kick things off we take a close look at the eye-catching JP 50th Anniversary edition of the .50 size Challenger low wing aerobat. We’ll also be popping in to see their marketing and sales teams in action as they present their products to model shop owners at their recent Trade Day held at BMFA Buckminster.
Shaun Garrity (Retro Ramblings) is just back from another well attended Single Channel & Retro Fly-in held at Pontefract Racecourse and then your editor puts XFly’s eye-catching quad EDF powered C-17 Globemaster cargo plane through its paces. This month’s Model Magic feature is supplied by David Ashby who examines a lovely example of a third scale Sopwith Camel before handing over to Roy Thompson whose simple to build BMAC Easy Glider is the subject of this month’s pull-out Pro-Plan.
Amongst the tales from Dave Goodenough’s workshop (One Man & His Shed) is his restoration of a Kingcat glow engine and then it’s back to yours truly for another episode of ‘Read The Flippin’ Manual’ in which I unbox another Seagull model, this time the V2 version of the Swift high wing trainer. There will also be a report from an international F5J gliding event before Keith Jackson (Aerobatic Scene) wraps things up with a look at the latest contra drive set for F3A models as well as some on-board hardware to improve your aerobatic scores.
I hope you enjoy reading it all.
Happy Flying!
Kevin Crozier
