Latest User CommentsMany thanks Paul :) The complete article is available for download now.Mary : RCM 1977/11 November : RCL#2223 : 12/07/2019
The J-Bird review does not continue on pages 53 and 54. Those two pages were ads which were eliminated. Article parts are on pages 146 and 148. The article is attached to this message.
Re: the Charognard Glider - the name translated would be Scavenger, Necrophager, Carrion Bird, take your pick. It's not a specific bird but an entire 'family' of carcass eating birds as distinct from live prey hunters. The model looks pretty enough, though.
Added list of contents, thanks to Miguel AKA The Mad Scholar :)
I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone has RC Modeler Magazine, Nov 1977 issue. I'm looking for page 52-54 - Review of J-Bird (RCM Product Test). I found online at RCL a pdf copy of the magazine but it is actually missing the pages I need. I see the article is listed in the magazine's table of contents. Is it possible if someone has a copy of RC Modeler Nov 1977 they could either scan or just take a picture with their phone of pages 52, 53 & 54? I actually built the J-Bird awhile ago and wanted to read what RC Modeler had written about the plane. Thank you in advance.
Thanks to everyone who pointed out that the file for this entry wouldn't download. I've replaced it just now with a working one! Apologies to you all :)
I recall She Who Must Be Obeyed freaking because I had tuned into Discovery Channel to watch 'Super Models'. Luckily enough it did switch to a view of a 6 foot span of a RC Globemaster (complete with a r/c jeep that rolled out after landing) before I started wearing the frying pan on my head. LOL
Mr Rupert Moore, the artist who designed the covers for Aeromodeller from 1940 through to the end of 1950, certainly knew his craft. Visually appealing, perfect flowing execution and mastery even within a 3-colour range, he also certainly knew his aeroplanology to get every detail right. Later there was some graphic work of this kind in the 50s - 60s but these were a sorry shadow of the former period. At the time Aeromodeller was of course "The Model Aeronautical Journal Of The British Empire" but coincidentally with the change of cover style the motto in January 1951 also changed to the pedestrian, nay, plebeian "Covers The World of Aeromodelling". What a double let down, thankfully I wasn't there at the time to see it! At the time Mr Atlee was the PM, but his successor Mr Churchill was unwilling or unable to reverse the Aeromodeller tide.

Latest NewsHello everyone! Steve and I are heading to the seaside today, for a few days R & R. I won't be working on RCLibrary while I'm away, so I'm afraid there'll be a few days with no new books or magazines. Normal service will resume when we're home :) Mary x04/05/2019
Happy Easter, everyone :) Mary x
Does anyone have June 1943 Aeromodeller, pages 57 to 60 inclusive? If so, we'd be very grateful if you can scan and send them to us preferably 300 DPI, greyscale or colour in any common format (tif, gif, jpg or pdf preferably). Thanks, Mary :)
