It's a mucky day for flying, so here are some other distractions for you:
- Part ten of Stan's Hurricane build story is ready to download. Go to the Members Articles page of our site - or click HERE for a shortcut
- Doug is building an Arrowbile. What's an Arrowbile? See the Members Articles section of the site!
- The 2013 event calendar will soon be published in all its glory. We're going to revive the racing and combat events in one glorious day of madness and carnage for electric and internal combustion power. Event rules to follow - Clive W and David F will be press-ganging you into participation, so you might want to start thinking about which models you can dedicate to the events
- We were quite excited to see Hobbyking advertise a radar gun to check aircraft speed...until we saw that it only goes up to 199kph, which is about what Peter Wyss's latest electric pylon racer does on zero throttle
- Want a very simple build project? Have a look at THIS from Hobbyking. Dave Pound has built one and it flies well. I've just built one and am finishing the covering. It goes together really nicely. You'll need some thin CA and a couple of other glues, and you'll need your parts bin for wheels, undercarriage, control horns etc, but a pre-cut kit for about $16 and a few evenings of ignoring the instructions? Fantastic value - gets
from me.
