Warminster and District Radio Control Flying Club

Tony Box has asked me to remind everyone that:

Tuesday 13^th March, we have our famous “Bring and Buy” evening. Bring any unwanted modelling goods, models, tools, radio etc that you have no longer any use for. It doesn’t necessarily have to be modelling goods either, anything you want to dispose of (within reason).

There are no set-up charges, just haggle with the seller. Don’t forget to bring some cash as well, or you may miss that bargain!

This meeting is open to all modellers, not just Warminster Club members.

The meeting is to be held at the Trowbridge Cricket Club at 7.30pm

John Bishop has sent over a photo of his winter project:

He says:

‘You have been posting details of winter projects – I’m starting mine a little on the late side!
It’s a Cirrus Moth – D.B Sport and Scale kit. I’ve opened the box – does that count?’

It’s taken me a few days to post this – it’s probably half-finished by now. Flying shots to follow?

slightly wet at the moment

Hi All, all the best for this new 2012. Over here we are starting the year with a bit too much water.

You can see the barrier where our pits is, beyond that there’s a football field size flying strip.

Normal vieuw of the field.

John Bishop has rightly spotted that there are few ‘flying shots’ at the moment (I have a vast collection of action photos of bits of aeroplanes, but very few complete compositions worthy of posting) and has kindly sent over a few of Pat’s Pitts to remind us of warmer, sunnier times.

Note the bendy prop. And that presumably is only on tickover!

Can’t recall any useful technical details about it, other than the fantastic artwork and Pat’s usual build quality.
Oh, and the fact that he once confused the ‘Snap Roll’ switch with the ‘Smoke On’ one when we were watching and had a few exciting moments before landing successfully and walking somewhat uncomfortably back to the pits!
