Beaufighter at St Helens Indoor Radio Control Models Meeting January 2012

Here we have another amazing indoor model from Chris at the St Helens Indoor Meet. January 2012 14th.

It was an enjoyable after noon (thanks Bob) and this was just one of many marvellous models flying at the meet. You may have seen Chris's Lancaster design. If you haven't - Have a look see of some of the videos uploaded here at servoboy.

It's another stunning model. Chris is using a DX8 which is a very popular transmitter made by Horizon/ Spektrum.

Chris is also using a range of micro receivers from a British supplier called Del Tang. The link to the web site is in the video.

Chris is moulding his models from the new Depron Aero Foam. There are many model shops that stock Depron.

My LMS ( Steve Webb Models) keeps me in supplies of the stuff ( and yes I do buy it!) Aero Depron is lighter than standard Depron, but is more flexible.

Chris is moulding his Depron into these lovely models we see flying in the video. The technique seems to be getting more and more polished. I think we'll see more and more models made in this way.

Thanks once again to all at St Helens ( Eric for the invite and organisation).

The late Dave Ridgeway's name came up in passing today and I remembered what an enthusiastic pioneer of indoor RC he was.

I wondered what he would think of the utopia of micro modelling we have today and for a moment wished very hard that he was still with us.

Dave flirted with being business in the model trade, always an ideas man he was ahead of his time with his Beeline Models ranges. Some of his designs that never made it to publication or kitting would be ahead of their time even now.

I wish he could have seen this Beaufighter and the Micro Mosquito flying today.

I'd like to dedicate this video to him


Thanks for watching
