FLYING SCALE MODELS - THE WORLD’S ONLY MAGAZINE FOR SCALE MODEL FLYERS
ON THE COVER
It takes a brave man, and in this
case two, to attempt to model the
shape of what is the McDonnell
XP-67! But Australians Ivan Vidak
and Rod Mitchell made a success of
it. The 100” wingspan Moonbat
weighs in at 26.4 lbs (12 Kg.) and
has two O.S. 92 two strokes for
power. Its our Master Models feature
in this issue.

moobat TYPE HISTORY
Demands of new military aircraft specifications sometimes lead
to extremes, both in powerplant and aerodynamics that are
less than practical. This mid-WW2 example, though a brave
attempt, suffered for its radical aoproach

BRISTOL BEAUFIGHTER TYPE HISTORY
When Bristol Aircraft Co. chief designer L.G.Frise had the idea
of developing his Beaufort bomber into a heavy fighter, he
surely had no idea of what a good idea he had come up with!

OLD WARDEN SCALE WEEKEND IS ON!
For updates and more information
www.facebook.com/ModelairAtOldWarden/ or email
modelair.oldwarden@gmail.com
ust hours before this issue of FSM was due to go to press ,
Ken and Sheila Sheppard of
ModelAir
confirmed that this
year’s
Scale Weekend
at the Shuttleworth Air Museum, Old
Warden, Bedfordshire, will take place over the September
19-20th weekend.
Inevitably, due to the present and ongoing Covid 19 situation
there will be restrictions which include pre-booking and socially
distanced parking, but
ModelAir
hope to make it as near to
normal as possible. As previously, Saturday will be a non-
competition fun fly day, but on Sunday there will be the usual
accolades for various model categories and outstanding models.
In terms of Sunday competitions, these will follow the usual low-
key approach, for which it is hoped there will be enough
WW1/WW2/Battle of Britain models to enable the staging of some
memorable impromptu displays.
Attendance will be by pre-booking on line only, for which the
Link is www.shuttleworth.org/events/modelair-scale-model
Overnight camping will also be by advance booking, by email or
by phone: camping@shuttleworth.org and tel: 01767 627933
The ModelAir Old Warden Scale Weekend is likely to be
the only mass, collective outdoor flying scale get-together
this year so make the most of it!

News is a regularly
published window
on all forms of
aeromodelling
activity in Australia, distributed
on line to subscribers and
produced by John Lamont.
Among a wide breadth of
really interesting stuff, the latest
(August 2020) issue included an
update on a truly ambitious
and unusual R/C scale model
(c) Copyright Flying Scale Models 2020
Doolittle Media.
The paper used on this title is from
sustainable forestry
of a WW2-era warbird that had
previously been covered in
AMN a year earlier, when the
model had yet to fly.
The McDonnell XP-67 is a truly
unique aeronautical shape
that deserves recognition for
the scale modellers who made
it work and fly in scale model
form; it's our MASTER MODEL
feature this month.
I only ever met John Lamont
once, at the 2002 World Scale
Championships, held at
Tillsonburg, Ontario in Canada.
John was a member of the
Australian R/C Scale Team. The
awful shame of it all was that,
have travelled half way round
the world to compete, John's
model was disqualified on
noise emission grounds. It
reminded me of an old Royal
Air Force adage, that
"... rules
are for the obedience of idiots
and the guidance of wise
men...".
Make your own
judgement on that one!
Characteristically, John took
it all on the chin!
Just now waiting for the next
issue of Austrlian Model News,
always a revelation of scale
modelling interest by ambitious
scale modellers.
