A little point regarding the LMA self printable Membership card/slip. In view of the new regulations which require us to know or carry our Flyer numbers as well as attach our Operator number to our aircraft would it not be a good idea for LMA to make provision on their self printable membership card...

Just sent.
Let me know if they don't come through, some at least are reduced for email so some should!

Hi Toby.
I'm Rob Cavell I have my vintage 1/4 Scale Tiger Moth which I am reluctantly willing to let go to a good home.
It was well known on the LMA and Show circuits in the 80s & 90s.
It won the Shuttleworth Trophy at Old Warden and is Laser 150 powered.

Got to agree, Rob. A sudden decision, with no information backup. I foresee a number of incidents at shows this year, as pilots grapple with new technology with little info. I also forsee a shortage of pilots/models as those who have complicated setups on 35 decide not to change..... I must have my...

Sorry to bring a somewhat sour note to this decision to go 2.4 for all show aircraft but as a 2.4 man since day one of the revolution and long since now committed for all my electric models at least, am I the only one with a rueful smirk on my face about last year’s LMA BAN on 2.4 for show models? I...

Andy is right this is a very old scam, the following cut and copy is from http://www.hoax-slayer.com with which I always check these urban myth style warnings.

Pretty dramatic stuff eh..?
And why is it that the odd colour picture somehow looses the drama?

You can't denigh it, didn't those yanks do well for us all?

Thanks for that Dave,
I think I'd better eat my words about 'those over there always doing it'!
I hadn't realised that DB was involved, shame on me, how could he NOT have been involved in such a project?
And how so apt that it should now be remembered, at his passing and all..........

That's right the press have to be informed in the first place and we Bloobirds were only in on the attempt literally on the last few days prior. Personally I still don’t know how Henk found and organised the landing site which is about 1mile as the crow flies from our flying field, it might have bee...

I can't find any reference to it on this forum so perhaps the recent channel crossing attempt has gone unnoticed by LMA members. One Henk van Hoorn a Dutch modeller and full size pilot on 13th July made a failed attempt and the model diched in the sea. Rather late in the procedure Henk contacted my ...

Yeah, but you do have the ultimate excuse and we forgive you when you keep knocking out the models!

So the the seven times World Formula one champion Schumacher is coming back to have his A*RSE whooped by Hamilton, this was spotted on the Pistonheads forum as possible new advertising for Spifire beer :lol: `Downed all over Kent, just like the Luftwaffe.................Spitfire Beer` (The bottle o...

It was a genuine question, I wondered if you did actually know......Stats, Mmmm.......our members are a tight lot then! PS For all you 20th century wallah's out there Vista was fine and W7 is great.........serves you right because in order to update to W7 you will now need to do a clean install, fur...

There has been some interesting comments and suggestions on this thread which I hope LMA event organisers have read and inwardly digested, lest we be labelled elitist. However please do go back and read the letter of Terry Lee on page 48 Journal 130 again. Among his complaints is the suggestion that...

This thread is what one might call a 'bit old now' but having managed to haul it up again in my current drunken stupor, it has reminded my that one day when I visited my 97 year old mother who lived within spitting distance of the English Channel, referring to her new hearing aid she remarked "...

Personally I was sympathetic to the letter of Terry Lee. His letter was about alleged preferential treatment in the allocation of flying slots, was it not? While having no way of knowing if his protest/complaint is valid I did take it at face value and in doing so assumed his model(s) are over 7kg. ...

Here we go again, some people just have to moan, moan about having a for sale section, moan about not having a for sale section, moan about not enough moaning on this forum.I like this forum, I don't post very much, but I visit it every day for a browse, it's a good blend. Lets not expect too much ...

To hear this is freebie Forum software impresses me because I haven't found it wanting yet, praise I think when you consider that I was one of the serious dissenters of the old Forum, I hated it! That said, now we are (Forum wise) firmly in the 21st Century I am perfectly happy to leave my trust in ...

Is your Internet Explorer out of date? …....................if you use Windows XP(which most of us do) Errrr excuse me Bob, most of us use XP ?.....how do you know that? are you assuming that most LMA members are tight enough to spend all their money on Large models and to hell with the Microsoft E...
