RCM&E Magazine June 2022 Edizione posteriore

Okay, let's now take a brief look at what we have lined up for you in the June 2022 issue of RCM&E.

Kicking off with our regular columns, in Bench Blog Tim Hooper builds a one-off R/C enlargement of a small free flight model called the Speedster. For Scale Gliding, Chris Williams reports on an electric vintage glider conversion and goes misty eyed over a control line inspired tug. As the curse of Covid begins to lift, Alex Whittaker has been taking a few road trips for his Weekenders column, starting with a visit to the Fighter Aces super shed! Keith Jackson then concludes our regular columns with Aerobatic Scene, as he introduces the members of the UK Team for the F3A European Championships in Spain later this year.

This month's Pro-Plan designer is Bill Bowne, who shares his plans for building a sweet looking .32 size sport scale biplane based on the Waco YKS.

The Editor begins this month's reviews as he heads for the hills with the slope version of Century UK's quick to assemble sport glider, the Ridge Aggressor. This stylish 1.5M ARTF glider is just one of four possible variants of Aggressor that Century UK distribute. Next into the air is the Mini Stick 06; Shaun Garrity treats himself to this small built-up version of the classic sports model, kitted by Dancing Wings Hobby.

Our feature articles begin with another Model Magic by Alex Whittaker, who admires a huge 1/3rd scale Piper Pawnee owned by Malcolm Wood. Mike Freeman then attempts to diffuse the potentially divisive topic of scale model flying speeds. In ‘Sussing Scale Speeds’, Mike asserts that there are two ways of defining scale speed - or maybe there's just a compromise to be made...? To wrap things up ‘Our Alex’ finds himself ‘Back Indoors in Rochdale’, where he revisits a popular all-disciplines indoor meeting.

I hope you enjoy reading it all.
Happy Flying!
