Hi, Surfed on in here from the 'Big Stuff' page. I think! Congratulations on the site, it's very good and has given me some ideas for my own. I was very interested to read the bit about Andy Thomson's Puppeteer. I have a thing about exploring alternative materials and have built a couple of foam and brown paper, and one from cardboard. All flew well. All were solid structures, as in fully skinned, and I had not thought to try a built up / open structure. I don't know if Andy has web access but if so, I would be very interested to hear a little more about his methods, what went well and less well etc. Best wishes for the new year, Stuart. Doncaster.

Hi members, I joined HMAC at about the same time as JOHN LEE in 1966 and have been a life member ever since. My flying is totally electric powered (RC) which gives me access to sites that the IC boys wouldn't be able to use. It seems electric power has really taken off (excuse the pun) in the last 5 years or so. Hope to meet you all at your 50th anniversary binge (assuming of course that there will be one). All the best and good flying, MIKE G.

Congratulations on a great site. It brings back the memories of  HMAC as a past member. I don't know if any of the present members remember the Caldecott Clan - Dad (Ted), myself, and brothers Tim and Simon. In the days of Bernie Davies, Tim Stanley, Maurice & Pete Bodey, Dave Stewart, Doug Platt (emigrated to Canada), Mark Winstanley, Geoff & Paul Mason, John Lee - and I can think of a few others. Please supply any information on any 50th festivities you have planned. I am an events organiser with my own company (I retired from the health service before it killed me !). I will gladly give some time (free of charge) if you need a hand. If there are any items, photo's or bits of information from the past that I can dig out give me a ring on 01284 750222 or by e-mail. If past members are still out there drop me a line. Good luck with all your flying (and socialising). Look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Andrew C.

Formerly of Pensby Road Heswall. I have enjoyed viewing your site. At present, I am looking to take up the hobby of R/C Aero Models. I am trying to contact a local club in my area with little success. If any of your members have any contacts over here in Ireland, would they please get in contact with me at neilfox@tinet.ie. Many thanks for your help and this site. Neil Fox

I'm an aeroplane worshipper at the age of ten, and I am looking foward to becoming a real pilot when I'm older. I enjoy drawing remote control aeroplanes, designing blueprints for new ones, and making Airfix models. I hope to join a modelling club when I'm old enough; you need to be thirteen years old to join my local club. Thank you for your site, it has some fantastic photographs; perhaps one day I'll send you a photograph of mine.

We are a group of students studying aviation engineering. We have been set the task of making a static model aircraft with movable control surfaces. Could you please advise us on any methods you may have on building this i.e. materials to use, control linkages etc. Thank you.

Great site, seems like you have a nice club. My only comment is people are scared of going into a club not knowing anyone. If I where you I would nominate a person by name who they should ask for, his name should be up on a sign at the club as well; then he would be responsible for introductions and getting them started, and above all making them feel at ease. Kind regards, Pete Caley.
