FULLCHAT
The internet has had a seismic impact on our lives and pursuits but I wonder if its influence
has some drawbacks. Remember the days when the radio was your sole source of new music?
You listened to good tracks and bad in order to fi nd what you liked and, as a result, surprises
came along opening your mind to new styles and groups. I still have readers approach me to
express some pretty entrenched views; how they dislike gliders, foam, electric power and so
on. It's a minority and such sentiments have always been around, but it worries me to the
extent that I wonder if the Internet is playing a part by encouraging folks to fi lter and
channel the information they receive. And after all, you never really know what you like until
you've tried it?
A hobby returnee recently asked me how things had changed and where model flying ‘is at’
in 2017. My mind momentarily stalled, where to begin? To describe model flying as diverse
these days is to flirt recklessly with understatement. I like to think I keep a close eye on
developments but hardly a week seems to go by without a new genre appearing. Micro FPV
wing racing is the latest (although if you're into that then you're probably sitting there wishing
I'd try and keep up a bit). Flying buddy Tim had one at the fi eld last week – built from a kit, it's a small, cheap Depron delta with micro-everything
on-board. It's nippy, weighs next-to-nowt, is diffi cult to damage and negotiates a compact FPV circuit of flags and gates. I was about to add the
words ‘with ease’ but, as any FPV racer will testify, that wouldn't be strictly accurate.
So I started off by telling him about the latest technology and how models are getting more sophisticated thanks to 2.4GHz, sensors, gyro
stabilisers, flight controllers and so on. Take a glance through this issue and you'll see Lee Schofi eld starts a new series aimed at guiding you through
the process of putting a flight controller in a fi xed wing model. A flight controller can offer a lot of benefi ts to both beginners and experienced pilots
- self-levelling, return to home and so on. All good stuff.
But I'd overdone it, his eyes were glazing over “does anyone build anymore?” he asked. Well, you don't need me to answer that. This month
we've plenty for builders although, as Danny Fenton's Depron moulding experiments on page 77 demonstrate, not all creative modelling
techniques fall under the ‘traditional balsa’ label.
I think the point is that we've never had it so good thanks to the choices available, it's never been cheaper too. In fact we've reached the point where,
if you have an idea, then the technology and materials can usually be found to make it happen. Vertical take-off and landing has been the holy grail
for years yet, as the little X-Vert on page 32 this month demonstrates, VTOL is now a reliable ready-to-fly reality.
Enough deep thinking, returning to our man, I told him to keep an open mind, absorb all and try everything. D a v i d A s h b y
That should keep him occupied for a while.

BRETONS MFC'S LONGEST DAY
In June, Bretons MFC members celebrated the club's 40th anniversary with a 12-hour
charity fund-raiser: using a fleet of models, the aim was to keep an aircraft aloft from
nine in the morning 'till nine in the evening – a challenge for which the club adopted a
D-Day style approach to planning.
To maximise daylight and to have a fi ghting chance of suitable flying conditions,
three consecutive Sundays around the summer solstice were earmarked for the
attempt; when the 18th of the month promised fair, the members were mobilised.
Seventeen pilots were on the flight line when the balloon went up, but only nine
managed to see out the day, in a marathon that wasn't without its moments: “We
decided to keep at least two aircraft in the air at any one time,” explains Jerry Green,
BMFC club secretary, “in order to deal with any dead-stick situations; we also kept an
electric glider on standby just in case we needed a quick launch and some breathing
space” – as proved to be the case on a few occasions.
“Each pilot was given a number and 10-minute slots were allocated, so each model
had to be capable of at least a ten-minute flight; however, most electric models made

you guessed - the other.
“As the landing aircraft descended, the whole endeavour came within three feet of failure,” Jerry recalls, “when ‘taking off!’ was heard, and a
four-stroke Majestic took to the air, the sigh of relief from the pits momentarily changed the windsock's direction!
“By nine o'clock there were a few tired but happy faces and we managed to raise over £1200 for Cancer Research UK. We were helped in no small
way by friends and family, and a special mention should go to Callum Barton who kept the pilots fed and watered, and to Teresa Fuller who took
some memorable photographs of the day.”

THAT PSS UP IN BURGUNDY…
…which we flagged up in January's issue appears to have gone very well.
Our bi-annual postcard from Jean Pierre Morel, the president of the Model
Air Club of Mâconnais, shows a very inviting picture of the club's 45th
International Slope-Soaring Competition, which was held over the
weekend of 25-28 May, at flying sites dotted among the vinyards around
Mâcon, in southern Burgundy.
“For several decades,” Jean writes in his idiosyncratic hand, “this
encounter has become the unavoidable rendezvous of the adepts of slope
soaring.” Back in 2000, when the late and much missed Alan Hulme took
part, it was already what he described as ‘well-attended’, with about 40
models competing. “I fi nished up well down the points list,” Alan said at
the time, “but thoroughly enjoyed the experience and particularly the
family atmosphere of the meeting. The variety of model designs was well
up to our UK standard.” In fact, Alan so enjoyed his visit that he donated a
trophy and, since 2001,the ‘PSSA Trophy de France’ has been competed for
as fi rst prize at the Mâcon meeting and seems to be much sought-after.
The fi eld has grown since Alan made his trip: this year's event – which
included PSS, scale & semi-scale and duration & precision contests
– attracted 103 pilots from across France, as well as from Belgium,
Switzerland, Holland and the UK, but it'd please him to know that his gift is
described as the ‘magnifi cent’ Trophy de France, and is the prize of what
Jean calls, “the ‘Grande Fête Française du Planeur’.”
It's Jean's hope that more pilots from the UK will come over and,
“participate in this ‘great glider festival’, which combines competition and
Burgundian conviviality!” The date for the 46th meet is 10-13 May 2018.
COMEBACK KITS: DPR MODELS REVIVAL
As many ‘80s bands have shown, there's nothing like a farewell tour to
revive a career and last year's retirement of David and Janine Rawlings
– the couple behind DPR Models – appears to have given the company's
traditional balsa-and-rubber aircraft a new lease of life. Apparently, the
DPR range – which includes the classic Concorde, Gnat and Tornado
catapult-launched gliders and rubber-powered Cessna 180, Racer and
Hyper Cub – is set for a return to the skies following its purchase by
aeromodelling enthusiast Mohammad Adeem, who'll be manufacturing
the models in Pakistan.
As things stand, the models will be jointly distributed in the UK by J.
Perkins Distribution and Javis Manufacturing. Don't forget, too, that
Ripmax is also helping to revitalise the traditional kit scene by re-
