'Burnshield'

Probably the most widely known cure for a burn is to hold the affected area under cold running water.  It is recommended that you hold the burned area under the running water for a minimum of ten minutes.  Hands up.  Who has ever held a burned finger or whatever under a tap for ten minutes?   What happens if you are at the flying club?  Do you put your hand in the barrel of water at the back of our shelter?  I wish you well recovering from the infection!  Then of course there is the so-called treatment of putting butter on the burn.  Some people may enjoy the smell of frying skin, because that is exactly what the butter does; it promotes the burning!  So that is a big NO NO.

MATTHEW'S NEW CARDEN EXTRA PRO

My dad has been hard at work this winter with our latest IMAC aircraft. We have trusted Carden designs for many years and have no doubt this new Extra 300 PRO will be as kind to us as the rest of Dennis’ designs. What’s different about this one you might ask? It’s our first big Electric, so read on for more info!

JIM'S 'FALCON 120'

On the building board, or should I say, the bed, is Jim's latest project.  This is a beautiful twin boom model which will be powered by a Wren 80 turbine featuring kerosene start.

Do you balance your props?

Here are two schools of thought on the subject.
