RCM&E

It’s time now to take a quick look at what’s inside the July issue of RCM&E. This month we start with John Freeman’s build and flying report of the DH.82 Tiger Moth kit from VQ Models. Chris Layton follows with his review of the Astro Junior, a smaller version of the classic Astro Hog as kitted by Dancing Wings.

There’s lots to look forward to in the April issue of RCM&E. John Laker starts things off with his description of a long-standing scale model project for a Dart Kitten. Next, join us at our local indoor venue as we put E-Flite’s UMX Eratix flat foamy through its paces before Danny Fenton (Make It Scale) looks forward to a busy year on the scale modelling scene including the Scale Indoor Nationals in April and the Scale World Champs at BMFA Buckminster in July.

Editor Kevin Crozier talks through what is included in the March issue of RCM&E. So, what’s in store in the March issue of RCM&E? We start with a look at our first Spektrum radio in quite a long while, the feature rich NX8+. Then it’s over to Shaun Garrity (Retro Ramblings) who has built his own new radio cunningly disguised as an expensive Sampey 404 ‘cuddle box’.

Editor Kevin Crozier talks through what is included in the February issue of RCM&E. Our Iberian correspondent, Arnaldo Correia makes a welcome return to RCM&E as he takes a close look at a third scale Nieuport Triplane built by Mário Vilaça. Next, we continue the WW1 theme as Mats Johansson describes his lightweight FE2b for Indoor Open Scale.

Editor Kevin Crozier talks through what is included in the January issue of RCM&E. So, what’s in store in this, the first issue of RCM&E for 2026? Mike Freeman starts us off with another of his excellent fly-in reports, joining the members of Basingstoke MAC as they celebrate their 20th All Electric event.

Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what to expect in the new November issue of RCM&E Magazine! November’s RCM&E starts with Phil Stevens, who writes about two scale model builds used as STEM projects by local schools, based on the attractive Fairtravel Linnet. Our regular Retro Ramblings column from Sean Garrity is next and then it’s over to Danny Fenton who reports from the Best of British Fly-In held at BMFA Buckminster.

This time Dave Goodenough adds to his diesel collection, looks at control surfaces on wings and witnesses a Spruce Goose take to the air. As mentioned in a previous ‘One Man…’, I had suggested following up on a theme I’d been asked about earlier: converting existing model kits from rubber power to electric powered R/C devices. It’s been done before by many, from the small, scale kits supplied by several companies, up to models approaching a one metre wingspan. So where to start?

Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what the expect in the new October edition of RCM&E. Now for a quick look at the main articles in this month’s magazine. Stuart Mackay gets things off to a good start with his Model Magic feature about Colin Enk’s stunning Stearman biplane built from the Flair kit.

Editor Kevin Crozier talks us through what the expect in the new September edition of RCM&E. Now for a quick look at the main articles in this month’s magazine. This time we are joining in with celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of J Perkins Distribution. JP have been long term supporters and advertisers in RCM&E, and we are very pleased to celebrate their ‘Big Birthday’ with them.

In this installment of his regular One Man & His Shed column, Dave Goodenough stuns on the catwalk before embarking on another selection of workshop-based advice and guidance. Let’s start with a frightener… Does your wife/partner/tamer/nurse/doctor enjoy your hobby? Do they take part, just nudge you along disconsolately or simply put up with your particular bent? My wife of, oh so long, has borne my obsession with this wonderful hobby for over half a century of tolerance and forbearance.
