Thanks
to Stan for the July edition of "Slipstream". Click the header for a .pdf
download which contains articles and photos based closer to home than usual.
We were all pleased to welcome the flyers from New Zealand at
the Nats and then Stan and Ricky at a rather damp Friday FF session at Ferry
Meadows. Read in Slipstream their side of the visit.
 28th June
The July RCSD is
very wide ranging, from identifying the flow physics and modeling transient
forces on two-dimensional wings, to a balsa stripper and upgrading household
dustbusters to LiPo via the usual mix of r/c gliders.

events at North Luffenham on Sunday.

Thanks to John P
for passing on this link to a Lego Spitfire......
 17th June
Picked up from the latest Aeromodeller and
advert from an American company I had not seen before - click their logo for
the home page.
What intrigued me though was they were selling what appeared to
be the Mercury Gnome. I thought the kitting of that model from the 1950's was
looked after by Replikit in the UK.
Click
to see the Retro RC version where the "Kit includes a designed in auto-rudder,
stabalizer incidence & tilt adjustment screws and DT mechanism. This design
is loosely based on the Mercury Gnome from the 60's, but is not exactly the
same."
15th June
Whilst YouTube is a massive resource for
modelling videos and much else I find its general way of working irritating so
am pleased to offer something from Vimeo instead.
Paul Naton at Radio Carbon Arts has an excellent selection, mainly
r/c sailplanes.
On Sunday, near Leicester there is control line flying with
water take off. See Meetings/Events for more details.
13th June
Thanks to Mick for the latest set of front
page photographs of PMFC members at the BMFA Free Flight Nats. Mick had a busy
day flying so gathered photographs from Andy Sephton, Bill Dennis and John
Ashmole.
Mick also sent the following results. (A full report of the Nats
will be in the next club magazine.)
"We now have a double champion as Gareth
Tilston won CO2/electric and Kit scale, Plus he also came 3rd in AM/MA.
Andy Sephton won rubber scale.
I won P30.
Peter Gibbons came 2nd in
E30.
Whilst Mark Benns came 3rd in HLG.
11th June
A reminder that BMFA Buckminster flying
sessions on a Monday are for free flight. John said "I know that Pee Gee, in
particular, is very keen to make use of this, so flyers may like to contact him
before going."
From the Buckminster web site:- "Open from 9am for season
ticket holders and day tickets, (tea/coffee will be available on a self service
basis) Park in the stoned area and call in at reception on arrival."

7th June
Click for up to date points of the club
f/f contest.
John says "The scoreboards were completely illegible by the
time I arrived home, but fortunately I had copied most scores onto a notebook
as a back up. After a couple of e-mails, I believe the figures now to be
correct. The second round of the Bernie Nichols Trophy has been postponed to
our next event on Friday 4th July, and the final round will be scheduled for a
date in August."
There was at least one KK Elf being flown last Friday. John had
some kit boxes with him (before they had to be put away to protect them from
the rain). So don't forget to buy yours and build in time for Flying Aces in
September. Click
for more information.
 5th June
Thanks
to John "Sky Larks", the latest edition of the club magazine is now available.
The printed version will be posted today whilst the e-mail should have just
arrived. The magazine will be available to non PMFC members in a month or
so.
I couldn't resist showing just one photograph though, click the
small version and predict an article from which it came.
3rd June
Something of a surprise for those at the FM
Free Flight yesterday was the presence of a small fair, sound stage, stalls and
Classic Cars, however errant models kept to the trees, bushes and long
grass.
Pleased to have Stan Mauger and Ricky Bould from New Zealand
join us for the afternoon, although not for the evening as by 18:30 the rain
that had been threatening really got going and we went home.....
John has managed to decipher the rain soaked result sheet and
after checking with the 19 competitors who flew we should have the udates of
the comps so far by Monday.
1st June
John sent the results of the P.A.C.T
Challenge, the best five from each team and said "I should like on behalf of
PMFC to congratulate our friends in the Auckland club on their victory, and we
shall hope to put matters right next year."
Further from John a reminder that "The third round
of the club F/F Championship is on Friday 2nd, 4pm, followed by the Bernie
Nichols Trophy (any rubber job will do) at seven pm.
Also next Club C/L meeting "PMFC Mini Goodyear on
Monday 5th"
30th May
A disappointing Nationals from the weather
point of view, too windy Saturday, very comfortable Sunday and low cloud with
some rain Monday.
RadioGlide this year was held over the same three days at BMFA
Buckminster, with room for two events each day on the field. Things coming
along at the site very well now. What I did notice was an anemometer attached
to the house/office chimney. For a weather "actual" from the site try:-

Competitions are on this coming Friday, 2nd June.
 24th May
Terry Tippett sent a message saying that he
and David Caudrey had updated the web address of Norcim. (Click the "meter" for
the new address.)
I made the change in the PMFC links page and told Terry who
replied:-
"Thanks a lot Tony. I think a lot of your older members will
remember 'Micron Radio Control'. Ada (wife) and I remember customers coming
from Peterborough to our shop in Sandiacre in those micron days.
Cheers
Terry
22nd May
Thanks
to Stan there is an early edition of the June "Slipstream". (Click the logo for
a .pdf download). Early, as Stan is coming to the UK and will be flying scale
at the Nationals and also joining PMFC members for the Friday afternoon flying
session at Ferry Meadows on 2nd June.
In "Slipstream", from a UK perspective, there is an excellent
interview with Peter Smart, who was visiting New Zealand; as well as the
results of the NZ part of the Cloud Tramp Challenge. I have also heard from
John regarding the Challenge who said "Sharon Ashmole has received the Auckland
Cloud Tramp scores. They are now in a sealed envelope to be opened at a
suitable time on Sunday at the Nats. All she will say is that they are close."
20th May
Cloud Tramp Challenge - Message from
John.
"It happened! Rain eased off, eight flew, there were maxes and
adventures and a final score to compare with Auckland's. Great fun, and all
present are willing to do it again next year. Full report in mag, due out
shortly after Nationals."
Click for details of the Challenge.
I went along to see how things went, to have a
first look at BMFA Buckminster and to take some photographs. Failed with the
photographs, (battery problems!) but impressed with the enthusiasm and quality
of the Cloud Tramp flying in the light rain. Had some enjoyable flying myself
with a couple of freeflight Mercurian Mites and F3K models.

web page, which came back on-line in the early afternoon. We did get a polite
apology though from 123Reg.
