We knew Dave a.k.a. Tap, through a club we were members of as well as through LMA events. He was always good company. From another forum I have the information :- The funeral is to take place next week on Wednesday 22nd March at 3pm Stonefall Cemetry, Wetherby Road Harrogate with the wake at Square ...
Behind the times? Well, I know that other strands of social media also exist, but the late news as according to the LMA website has slipped a bit. I know (all too well) the problems of trying to keep a website up to date (I failed, miserably!) However, the first LMA events of the year have been and ...
quid on it, bet thats more channels than Daves Vulcan. Come to think of it, my 34 foot span Luscombe only uses 4 channels. Now then Paul. Don't tell fibs.

I must say that the spirit of the article is not that ARTF is good, but that showing only the Crown Jewels and not the ordinary suggests that watching is all you can possibly hope for. In fact it goes on to talk about some lovely models such as a tiny P39 Airacobra and a radio-assist Whitley bomber ...
In the 'Tail End Charlie' section at the back of the Feb 2015 Aeromodeller Magazine is a section titled 'The Large Model Association - Aeromodelling's Premier League?' It describes LMA models as magnificent. But it starts with the paragraph:- "I would like to contend that the LMA is doing as mu...
Again, I do not have detailed knowledge or information on this topic, but only an observation. A friend had a second hand model Feisler Storche (sp?) which had leading edge slats - although they were not moveable. This model was almost unflyable. It was well balanced, and unwarped, but it had a vile...
