• BRISTOL SCOUT TYPE C

  For either indoor, or calm evening outdoor flying. Our FREE PLAN feature for a 26.1/2” wingspan, sport scale model is designed by Peter Rake for IPS electric power, LiPo batteries and three-function control. Prototype model built and described by Tom Gower

• LMA COSFORD 2010

  The annual Large Model Association’s premier event as seen through the lens of Alex Whittaker’s camera. Much to see and this year’s event from early WW1, to impressive jet-era scale

• MAGIC MACCHI

  The Macchi MC 200 ‘Saetta’ is not a scale subject that everyone would choose. But Top Gun scale contestant Ed Newman produced this stunning 1/4 scale rendition of the Italian fighter, reviewed in this issue by Simon Delaney

• MACCHI MC 200 TYPE HISTORY

  Although by no means a top performer, the MC.200 was a significant force in the early WW2 Italian Air Force fighter inventory during the early years of WW2 and fought in many combat theatres, including the Mediterranean, North African and Russian campaigns.

• MACCHI MC 200 SCALE DRAWINGS

  Fine-line three views in 1:60 scale, complete with cockpit detail to tempt you in modelling this aircraft type.

• MACCHI FLYING COLOURS

  A wide choice of colours schemes promises a high probability of individuality for anyone wishing to model this aircraft type.

• SHAWBURY SCALE 2010

  This annual scale meeting is not large, but it is friendly, intimate, and great fun. It pares down a scale event to its essentials: the tarmac, the pilots, and the models. It is always held in high summer at delightful RAF Shawbury

• THE QUIET ZONE

  Our resident small-scale R/C electric columnist Peter Rake hands the controls over to Darrin Covington who describes construction of his magnificent, enlarged Rake-designed BE12a enlarged from FSM full size free plans

• THE VOISIN PROJECT PART 2

  Regular FSM contributor Gary Sunderland built his Voisin 1910 to commemorate the first successful sustained flight in Australia, achieved by famed escape artist Harry Houdini. Finally airborne, but not without difficulty!

• VOISIN TYPE HISTORY

  Just how did you go about designing and building a ‘flying machine’ when most of the knowledge of what was required was gained on a ‘poke-and-hope’ basis? The Voisin brothers were among that special group that kick-started the dawn of aviation era.

• SCALE SOARING

  Scale sailplane columnist Chris Williams finds himself alone amidst the ‘diehard propeller-heads’ at the Windborne M.A.C’s scale/aerotow event, and enjoys a spot of further aerotow action at Middle Wallop!
