This months Flying Models has two construction articles, one RC, one UC, both slimers. No overprinting on the plans. There is also a rubber powered kit construction review, and review of some (not sure how many) ARFs. All these articles have abundant photographs. Dean Pappas has a two page long with no pictures discussion of tuned pipes. A number of other columns as well. Why is a commercial magazine with a fairly small circulation (and lots of small interesting ads) so far superior to our subsidized, huge circulation Model Aviation ARF catalogue?

Jim,

Slimers?

Bill, AMA 4720

Its pronounced SLY-mers. It is commonly used as a deragatory term by those who believe in electric power only. It is in the same vain as the term "planker" used by the heli-only crowd.

Hope that helps Stick.
