Folland Gnat Pro-Plan
Tony Nijhuis returns to the Pro-Plan slot with the first in a new series of ‘Midi’ size jets using 70mm Electric Ducted Fan units. This time he offers up a 33-inch span Folland Gnat.
This Month’s Regulars
Tim Hooper is back with Bench Blog, in which he builds a larger version of The Answer, a favourite vintage model, for his Indian Mills diesel engine.
Chris Williams makes a return visit to his favourite slope soaring venue at White Sheet Down to report from the WSRFC’s August Scale Day, before Alex Whittaker finishes things off with more shedly tales in Weekenders, including a clubmate’s conversion to 2.4GHz (well, his radio at least!), finding a long lost Spatman kit and, inspired by the Bowman model’s name, how to fix spats to a model’s undercarriage.
On Review
On test this month, David Ashby takes a liking to Max-Thrust’s Pro-Built Balsa Ruckus, whilst the Editor assembles another fast build EDF jet from new kids on the block, XFly-Model. This time it’s the turn of their red tail T-7A Red Hawk.
We also have space for a few suggestions for Christmas gifts for aeromodellers to show to your nearest and dearest
Plus…
As usual our feature articles start with a scale walkaround accompanied by Alex Whittaker; this month Alex pores over Keith Pyrah’s mighty 156″ span Luscombe Silvaire.
We then take a look at Jeff Barringer’s sleek Bugatti 100P, a 1930s design that looks futuristic even today!
Alex W returns to Buckminster to report from their Warbirds & Beerfest meeting before handing over to Kevin Powling, who describes a model that would have been very welcome at the BMFA’s National Centre, his new Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun.
Finally, Andy Sephton wraps things up nicely with a ‘how to’ feature on using Deluxe Eze-Kote to finish his Phase 6 slope soarer.
