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.

[email protected] 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 ABOVE LEFT: Survivors: (Back row, l to r) Carl Wright, fi ve-minute flights, but we managed to use two to fly alongside an i.c. model to keep Gary Whelan, Don Parfrey, Michael Wright, Keith Berry, the routine working.

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.” SAM 35 OCTOBERFEST SARIK HOBBIES: A NEW HOME FOR PLANS “Re-live sports flying and competitions where The diffi culties of Traplet Publications and the concern regarding the future of the trove of the emphasis is on real aeromodelling and the designs that were part of its plans service have caused some hair-on-fi re moments online.

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- engineering classics from the Keil Kraft range, which should become Old bottles and new wine in the Mâconnais. available later this year.

Small enough to fly indoors as well as out, its high-lift wing is matched to a light and resilient carbon- braced EPO foam airframe, so it's both willing to fly and forgiving of mistakes say Ares. The 2.4GHz, three-channel proportional radio controls throttle, rudder and elevator; the brushed/geared motor and 180mAh LiPo battery combination should provide 8-10 TRIO 180 CFV minute-long flights – all with the back-up of a selectable six-axis gyro stabilisation system £245.61 I www.horizonhobby.co.uk that can help to smooth the learning curve yet be switched off as confi dence builds. Building on the popularity of the 180 CFX, the Trio 180 CFX is a powerful, micro 3D machine that now comes with a 3-blade rotor head that improves response and collective authority. It provides intermediate and advanced pilots a crisp flight experience, weighs 190g and uses a carbon fi bre frame, high-speed digital metal gear servos and a powerful 5800kV outrunner motor. Bind your it to your Spektrum DSMX radio, connect your 3S 450mAh LiPo battery and you're away.

It's down to a 432mm (17”) span and added an FPV camera in the nose. It's the sort of thinking a balsa ARTF model, built light and, say hacker, that starts a new genre much as the brand's Inductrix did a couple of years ago. It's ready with excellent flight characteristics. It spans 2m, to fly, just needing your 3S 450mAh LiPo battery and Spektrum DSMX transmitter (it'll fly is available in one of three schemes and optimizes using a 2S LiPo too).
