ALEX FORREST visited the Scottish Model Air Show on June 4. He says that it was a bit of a washout, unfortunately, but nevertheless he got some good pictures of some of the models. Here's three of his shots - Alex doesn't have details, but perhaps you will recognise some of them. Thanks, Alex, and your son Sandy for his help.

I was delighted to hear again from TOMMY YATES of Alabama, USA when he sent me these pictures of his TF Spitfire. The model is fitted out with an OS 90 Surpass 4-stroke, Robart HD retracts and flaps. It took Tommy 3 months to build and finish. It is glassed and painted with Chevron Perfect Paints with ModelMaster accents. Right now, it awaits an appropriate pilot and should be flown around the end of June. Tommy is entering it in a warbird meet later this month.

Here's MICHAEL HENRIKSON'S electric SE5A indoor/park flyer. Construction from blue foam and balsa. Mabuchi 050 motor and home-made 6:1 gearbox. Michael says the set-up is a bit heavier than with the DC motor but wingloading is still comfortably low; flight trials have yet to take place, but he considers it should do well on 6x50 or 6x120 mah cells. Model and insignia are painted with Humbrol Acrylics - very light and highly recommended by Michael.

60cm/24" wingspan; 55cm/21·5" length; 120grams/4·2oz; Jeti 4-channel receiver.

This is ROGER FORGUES' Giles 300. It has a 75" wingspan and is powered by a BME 2·7 gas engine. Meet Roger on the personal profiles page.

Now let's enjoy a sight of your favourite aero model - large or small, kit or scratch built, ARTF, rotary or fixed-wing - and they don't have to be perfect, either. If you like it, let's see it!
