Hi Larry,
I think the latest issue is just great #^, lots of useful info and interesting history.
I like the fact that it is now a multi-page PDF y1.
Keep up the good work.

Liked the articles on the Cox cylinders, making of a hollow log kit, and the BarnDoor trainer.
Some good eye candy too.
Might be fun to see some reviews of classic 1/2a engines, Holland Hornets, Fox, etc.
Someone should spice up that Cox ad. Why doesn't the ad from an engine company show an engine?

Ok, I have not read the whole articles yet..love the pictures..would love to see a good half A build article in the future...maybe a half-a i-beamer ?

Chris,
Thanks. We do not make up the ads, Cox sent it and that is what they wanted. I guess that they think that we all know about Cox engines so why show them. Check out Boon's Hobby ad.
Next issue may have two build articles, they are in the works.
Tell your friends that if they subscribe they can win a kit and engine.

Hi Larry,
Are you restricting the magazine to 1/2 A control line or are photos of 1/2 A Free Flight planes also welcome ;D?
I just finished both a Testors Baby Zephyr and a Berkeley Profile Powerhouse for my Vintage 1949 & 1950 K&B Infant .020s. I'm just waiting for the weather here up North @@^ to get a little better and then off I go trying to recapture my youth!

Photos of all models regardless of size or type are welcome on the "Readers model" page and the magazine is not restrict to any model type or engine size. The main theme of the magazine is .060 and smaller engined model sizes and we lean more towards control line type models.
In the up coming issue there will be an electric model article from Dick Sarpolus and we are looking at a free flight model center fold plan.

Larry,
Your doing a fantastic job. Thank you to all the contributors. The variety of articles is perfect. I like to see the plans, read about the history and see the pictures of readers airplanes.
Looking forward to the next issue,
Paul

Hey, Larry. I agree with .060 and under but where does that put electric ?
Just curious as we are still pondering the whole electric vs gas size thing....

Larry, I recently got my #2 Half A Flyer and I'm very impressed with this copy. Each issue just keeps getting better and better. The information on 1/2 A is very informative for today's fliers and collectors. I hope this magazine keeps going for years to come, keep with the great work Larry.

Jim,
All of your questions about "How Too" of electric control line in a half A size plane should be answered in the next issue of the magazine. Dick Sarpolus will explain how to set it all up along with a plan and construction of a plane. Because of the oddity of this we are looking at a second plan with a construction article for gas engine people. The lead for next month will be Leroy Cox and believe me there is a lot that most people do not know about him.
Cliff,
Thank you. For this magazine continue we need the readers help. We need stories and pictures of half A contest, We need stories on what you are doing and how you got into modeling, we need suggestions on tricks that you have learned for building; these things do not need to be more than a few sentences and we have a proof reader who will fix spelling and gramer.
Most of all we need you to go on other chat rooms and tell them about the magazine. Remember to tell about it at club meetings.

Sounds like another great issue in the making. Will be patiently waiting(yeah right as the wife and grand kid say). I now have a Corsair kit that may get bashed in between the builds of my Old Timer and the project.
