Re: Throttle only?
One of my first F/F designs I flew throttle only. I didn't have a FF timer (for brushless ESC) and so I fitted a receiver and it worked rather better than I thought! It turns left under power, right on the glide and straightish under a little power. Was nice having a F/F aerie that I didn't have to fetch...

Re: Theme for 2019......
Even though I couldn't be there I enjoyed getting involved in the Pulstar build.
Here's a couple more suggestions:
1) Build any model from the year you were born - this could include free flight converted to RC
2) Guillows do quite a good range of inexpensive rubber powered models - choose any from their range to build and convert to electric and rc.

Re: Theme for 2019......
Can't go wrong with the Vic Smeed theme, as previously suggested. Also like the idea of single channel scale, as a number of designs were published in US mags in the 50's and 60's. Those of us on the wrong side of the pond and/or otherwise unable to attend the show can still join in on building the models.

Re: Theme for 2019......
Another possible?
Any design by Ray Malmstrom converted to S/C. His designs cover free flight, control line and rubber powered models and are"individualistic" enough (I think) to appeal to many Mode-Zero's inmates.

I think I really like the Ray Malmstrom idea...

FWIW, I like this idea - even narrowing it further to anything from the 'Eagle Book of Model Aircraft' LOLbelli wrote: ↑05 Jun 2018, 19:43 I think I really like the Ray Malmstrom idea...

There's even a Gee-Bee C/L (S/C?) racer conversion for Ron in there too
I thing the Vic Smeed thing has been done too often, time for something 'odd' methinks

The Eagle Book of Hobbies was the reason I got into aeromodelling.
How about a full size version Depron of this. https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=4166
And this was always a favourite of mine https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1474

This looks like the inspiration for Homer Sinpson that visited Ponty.Shaun wrote: ↑05 Jun 2018, 22:51 The Eagle Book of Hobbies was the reason I got into aeromodelling.

Re: Theme for 2019......
Popped out for an ice cream this morning - went 26 miles on my motorcycle to Bude for it
Anyway another possible theme popped into my head on route - pylon racers. Last year you raced Bluderbirds but what about building proper single channel pylon racers. There seems to be a plentiful choice of styles that will hopefully satisfy different tastes. Maybe limit wingspan (larger plans could be reduced to this limit). Also set a limit for power used.
