The cover of this issue features Boulton Paul’s P111 experimental delta prototype expertly recreated by Alec Cornish Trestrail and John Wright. This scratch built one-off at a scale of 1:4.22 makes for a superb model and its build and test flights are described in a one-off feature. As ever there’s plenty of show report action featured and this time we visit the JMA’s Top Gun event at RNAS Merryfield and ‘First in Flight 2013’ held in North Carolina. Our latest turbine test puts the new KingTech K-180G on the bench with Colin Straus giving the facts and figures on its performance. Colin also takes a look at the latest offering from PowerBox, the Royal SRS. Dave Gladwin continues his new ‘Technically Speaking’ column with a look at curing problems with static discharge amongst other topics. Jorge Escalona finishes and flies his Airworld Hunter in the Misdemeanor scheme, whilst Sean McHale converts his Avonds Starfighter from EDF to turbine power. France’s Patrick Lanquetin takes on Christen Diffusion’s CM 170 Fouga Magister with a view to finishing it in eye-catching Tiger colours.
