has anything come along after StrictlyIC ?

Check out Model Engine Builder, a quarterly started by Mike Rhemus with the March, 2005, issue. Very professionally done and builds on Bob Washburn's legacy.

Model Engine Builder! I have it since the first issue. It really is great. Had one or two of SIC, and MEB is a full replacement. Excellent plans!

You know, you may have just started yourself a small business - I would speculate that you could get the rights to reissue the scanned copies for a modest royalty fee from his estate, or you may even find that the mag is out of copyright - you would then be able to provide a service and earn a few $ for your labor.......

Either that or a nice letter and lawsuit from the copyright holder.

Note the not particularly fine print near the bottom of the page at

right - that's why I suggested "get rights" - the not so fine print claims copyright, but if one has permission (for a royalty fee, for example), then all is well.

I believe that's not true. Robert Washburn is alive and well, and a contributor and advisor to the new magazine. He chose to retire, but is still involved in selling copies of back issues of the magazine he started (Strictly IC), assuming I remember it correctly.

We drive over to a church hall in applecross. I should know the night but I dont this year. it changed I think. I'll have to ask the president who also lives in Gosnells. You'd be most welcome to come along. membership ...well we stopped worrying about fees so we set them at

5cents just to keep the riffraff out :-) and I think Ron paid the entire clubs fees this year. $2.00

btw my actual email is tailwind at westnet dot com dot the other bit for australia there are other radio enthusiasts in the club.

this year I think I'm going to have to get a plan for a little farm engine replica and goad the entire club into building one each. Stealth Pilot

that accords with something quite puzzling in the details of the new magazine. articles by robert as though he was alive. we in the club were told one night that he had died. if he hasnt ...bloody good for him! I enjoyed reading his work.

Tailwind, any chance you own a Tailwind aircraft?

Or he eats lots of beans and habeneros

No, that would mean he owns an Ex-Military Jet. The beans for the thrust, and the Habañeros for the afterburner...

Ackshully, fellas, once you've eaten beans several times in one week, your body attunes itself to the change in enzymes and the nice little legumes no longer give you gas at all.

And a correction on the above would be that the beans give the thrust and the Scotch Bonnets give the afterburner AND solid content jets. (quickly running the other way)

21 year old Wittman W8 Tailwind. No I didnt build it. at the rate I'm repairing and replacing things eventually I will have :-)
