RC Lander MIG 17 - Build and Flying Review

Ever since the demise of my Alfa Mig I've been looking for another, there is something about the MIG and its swept wing that makes it fly ohhh so well. Luckily RC Lander have come up with a beauty. Its taken some time since the fist prototype was unveiled last summer and after much redevelopment by RC Lander the production version is here, http://www.overlander.co.uk is now the UK distributor of RC Lander products so if you like the look of this 90mm EDF then give them a call or ask you local shop to get one in, you won't be disappointed. The large box arrived, RC Lander are minimalist in the art on the front of the box but its what's inside that counts, and a well packed assortment of parts, all in top condition despite traveling over 9,500km !

Flair Tiger Moth by Colin Bassham

I didn't get into model flying until 1993, when I joined the Wortley club and started a long hard road of learning to fly. There were no ready to fly planes those days so I built from kits at the back of my garage. My first large kit was a T240 with a 28cc petrol engine. I even had to apply to the CAA for an exemption certificate. This was 1995 and I had joined the RAMS club flying off concrete runways at Acaster near York. I also join the LMA and went to Withernsea meeting where Ian Turney-White took my T240 up for its first flight. He let me land it on the second flight, and I bust the prop, but I was pleased to have got it down in one piece.

Mad Dogs and Australians ! - Flying 3rd January 2010

Our antipodean member Trev posted on our club forum that there was a light dusting of snow and flying would be no problem. After navigating untreated roads (why do we pay council tax ?) I arrived at our club at about 10:00am, it was snowing (for a change) and the padlock was frozen up, after peeling my skin from the lock I sat in my car and made some quick phone calls tempting members to join in the 'tropical' conditions and to bring some de-icer..... just in case, they took the bait and soon we had a gaggle of members eager to get into the air !

At the recent AGM it became apparent that some of our new members and existing ones would like the option to use the buddy box facility which is often incorporated into most transmitter modules.

This sparked an idea to write a small article to help our members and future ones to train and improve on existing skills so as not to suffer some expensive and frustrating consequences on the field.

It was October 2007 when I took delivery and started building the Corsair and now over two years later, I'm very pleased to say, it's finished. And very good it looks too, if I say so myself.
