Hi friends,
The July issue has just been uploaded to the web, delivered to meet the new
publication date of the First of the Month.
I hope you will enjoy it and maybe find something to contribute for the
August issue, now in preparation!
You only need two
tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40; if it shouldn't move and does, use the Duct Tape.

Saturday
I went to Woodspring Airshow, not as many trade stands as last year, but it was
nice day out
From the RCMF
The HP W10 was really superb, as was the Courier. Nice to see there are
still modellers out there who JFDI and surprise us with the results .
Good slots from the DP as well - first time I've seen them "in the flesh
wood/wire/fabric". The rockets were a blast too ( )
Disappointingly, traders were down again (Inwoods a significant miss) but thanks
to all that did show and allowed me to indulge in some bank-balance abuse
