Our latest Lockdown Project is from Cliff Whittaker, who fancied a slightly bigger version of Hawker's famous jet
The December 2019 edition of RCM&E included the plan of a Hawker Hunter, designed by Tony Nijhuis. The plan looked straightforward and I considered having a go. But with a wingspan of just 25 inches, it looked small, fast and twitchy and I decided it wasn't for me.
To start his Bench Blog workshop column this month, Tim Hooper looks at a capacitor powered micro model.
Just in case you're wondering, 'WSAT' stands for Wooden Shoe Aviation Toys. Obvious, really. This Netherlands based company is headed by a gent named Vincent Merlijn, who has seen an opportunity in the market for a growing range of small free flight model kits.
Alex Whittaker takes a sideways glance at our beloved hobby and is thoughtful...
When I look back at the 1970s, I am amazed how things have changed. As a young bachelor (remember that word?) I used to get up early on a Sunday morning. Down dusty lanes not far from the sea at Southport, I would drive unmolested into deliciously flat and un-encumbered rural West Lancashire. I would knock on a random farmer’s door and ask if I could fly my Keil Kraft Outlaw over his land.
The Editor puts together Dynam's fast assembly version of the British post war jet.
There is really only one word (or two!) to describe this stylish Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) kit from Dynam and that is eye-catching. A jet powered Hawker Hunter would be a standout model in any colour scheme but this one really really does hit the mark.
Andy Sephton concludes his flight test report on the Razorback Mustang from VQ Models, the assembly of which was described in the July issue.
The story continues; in the first part of this review the VQ Mustang had been successfully flown and photographed. It has a solid feel in the air, and I found it easy to fly.
