Here are two very "moody" pictures, one from the Derbyshire Peaks in England and the other from the high plains of Monterey, USA.

 

PAUL CARR'S Great Planes CAP 232, which he's flying here at his local club, the High Peak Model Aero Club in Buxton, Derbyshire, England. Paul says this is really a .40 size model, but this one is powered by an OS91 Fx which makes a real good power-to-weight ratio.

TROY STARK and his dog Pierra slope soaring in Monterey, USA.

The altititude is 8000 ft when the 'plane leaves your hand - nothing to run into except wind and blue sky!

 

Troy Stark and Mike Smith are both members of Barnstormers R/C Club, Laramie, Wyoming, USA from whose website these pictures were taken. There's a new link to this website on the links page.

 

MIKE SMITH'S helicopters on display nose-to-nose.

Can you identify the models?

 

HARRY CURZON sent me this pic of his fun-fly Bearcat from the Global kit which he says is no longer available in the UK. It's powered by a Thunder Tiger Pro 46. Flaperons with elevator-to-flap mixing and outrageous control sizes and throws make it lively. Low rates needed for landing, says Harry!

Here's something that's rather fun! The fuselage and its canopy are profile, which made for an interesting problem finding a pilot figure for it. How did Harry solve it? He took a photo of himself in profile on a digital camera, transferred it to his PC, resized, copied and flipped it, then printed and glued the two sides together for a profile pilot of himself flying his own model. Brilliant!
