Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what the expect in the new March edition of RCM&E.
Let’s take a quick look at some of the main articles in this month’s magazine.
We start with our regular ‘Retro Ramblings’ column in which Shaun Garrity looks at Reed radios, Remcon home-built sets and a flying model by Meccano.
In ‘Best Of British’ Danny Fenton revels in a late summer gathering of British designs at BMFA Buckminster.
Next, our ‘Just For Fun’ column catches up with David Ashby as he finds some modern parallels when reading a pile of old magazines and then flies a recent acquisition.
Next, in ‘Drawing A Plan’ one of RCM&E’s favourite model designers, Lindsay Todd describes the first steps in drawing up a plan for a semi-scale aircraft.
Another popular plan designer, Peter Miller, follows with ‘Estimating Materials’ as he describes how to make a shopping list for wood and other materials needed to build from a plan.
It’s been a while since we have offered plans for a high wing trainer and Bertrand Choupin steps in to fill the gap with ‘Ambisagrus’, based on a classic design.
In ‘One Man & His Shed’ Dave Goodenough finds a new supplier for his carbon requirements, browses the local ‘Middle of Lidl’ and test flies his latest simple scale design.
Then it’s over to Julie Fisher who reports from Denmark on the F3CN European model helicopter championships.
In ‘Aerobatic Scene’ Keith Jackson reports from the UKF3A AGM which introduced the new Entry Level schedule for beginners and he also says hello to the UK F3A Team for 2025.
To cap things off Ron Grosser reports from the Port Lincoln Model Aerosport Club’s fly-in all the way down under in South Australia.
