RCM&E - January 2022

In deze editie

Let's take a brief look at what we have lined up for you in the first issue of RCM&E for 2022. Starting with our regular columns, in Retro Ramblings, Shaun Garrity recalls when model aircraft had a bit of swing, thanks to built-in pendulum self-stabilisers. For Aerobatic Scene, Keith Jackson assembles a state-of-the-art F3A biplane, the BJ Craft Encourage, before Alex Whittaker wraps things up in Weekenders with tales from the clubroom as he celebrates the return of indoor winter meetings with his Delyn MFC clubmates.
Our pull-out Pro-Plan this month has been drafted by Bill Bowne, whose 1.2 metre span Upbeat for 4S power will allow you to practice your favourite pattern style aeros but without taking up acres of sky. On review, David Ashby looks at a new powered glider from Arrows, based on the sleek Polish SZD-54 soarer. If a full build is more your cup of tea then take a look at the Cloud Dancer, supplied to Roy Thompson by 4-Max Models.
This month's scale Model Magic walkaround is dedicated to Harry Curzon's neat take on the Boulton Paul Defiant 'turret fighter'. Peter Miller then goes on to reveal the twisted story of his Insanity project, which, despite its bizarre appearance, is actually a fine flying model. We then return to Alex W for his take on the Pontefract Single Channel meeting before Phil Cooke takes over as event reporter to cover the stunning collection of PSSA Mass Build F-86 Sabres that were amassed recently on The Great Orme in North Wales.
