Hi all, Believe it's soon the weekend of Culdrose airshow. Anyone going?
In fact, some web pages quote the 19th, others quote 16th. I thought it was
on for 2 or 3 days?
I'm in Cambridgeshire, so it's a bit of a trek by road. Anyone from my area
dropping in by air? I'd be interested in hitching a ride!!
Oh well, had to give it a try! Be great to catch a few pics of Gazelles
trotting about, and sea kings doing what they were made for. Still working
on a Radio controlled model Gazelle, so pictures are always a bonus.
Got my holiday in cornwall booked later in the year so I slipped up a bit
really. Not to worry, soon be Helitech 2003 time.
Cheers all.

Joe Landy.

Hi all.
Seems that no-one makes a R/C Gaz at the moment. Well, there is a company
called Sitar who make a plastic/nylon fuselage. Not sure what mechanics they
recommend using with it though. They don't list a price either, except to
say that if you have to ask, you can't afford it!
As for RAF colours, you'd have to paint it yourself, and use trimlines where
necessary.
Right, back to the model.helicopter ng to continue model talk.
don't want to upset anyone!
bye.

Hold on mister atherton, aren't you the chappy who knows the owner of G-UGLY
Alouette 2?
I have made a model alouette too, but it still requires some detailing.
Flies superb though.
would still be great to see one of the beasts in the flesh (metal?).
Working on Aerospatiale AS355 F2 twin squirrel at the moment, a big model!
copying my local Police helicopter livery, but have just learned that
they're soon changing it for an EC135! Better get a new fuselage on order
from my local model shop!
Bye.
