RCM&E - December 2017

This month we have three plan features. CANBERRA - Andy Blackburn's facsimile of the classic twin jet is a great introduction to power scale soaring and will turn heads on 18 any hill. Plus MICRO & MINI BLITZ - No time to build? Pah! Shaun Garrity revives two pocket deltas that you can build in a day! In our columns Danny Fenton reports from his first control line scale comp in ‘Make it Scale’ and Whittaker is out of bed early to check the latest swapmeet trends in ‘Weekenders’. In our Features section Colin Hutchinson and Rob Thompson chart the development of an unusual motor soarer in ‘DISCOVERY 1.6’. Alex Whittaker reports from the LMA's seasonal finale in ‘GAYDON GOODNESS’. In impressive style Jan Hermkens brings a rarely-modelled twin to life in ‘INVADER’. In reviews, we have the ‘HAWK’, FMS's new 80mm electric ducted fan jet not only looks the part but also flies well, it's the best EDF jet we've tested in fact. Brian Winch tests a tough little diesel from deepest South Asia in ‘SHARMA 3.2cc’. We look at the ‘JETI DS-24’ There's little that Jeti's new range-topper can't do, it'll even entertain between flights.
