Dear members, Chairman’s Chatter Welcome to autumn 2005 issue of your association's quarterly magazine. For once I can give you some good news! Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) R J Thayer has graciously given his consent for us to hold our annual Middle Wallop event with the normal conditions regarding the operations of our model aircraft. So open your diary at the 1st & 2nd of July 2006 and reserve that weekend for the BEFA Middle Wallop Electric weekend. If you or your club is going to hold an electric flight event please let Jan Bassett and myself have the information to put in this magazine and on the websites! I can see the 2006 being very busy with electric flight events. It will pay to get your dates in quickly to ensure you are first on any given day. In would like to wish you all seasons greetings and a prosperous New Year KEEP THE WATTS UP! Robert Mahoney Current Lines from the Editor Thanks again to all the contributors to this issue, you really make my life easier. I do request that articles are sent electronically if at all possible as it saves me retyping something that has normally been type once before. Unusually I managed to hold a couple of articles over to the next issue, but that still leaves most of the magazine to fill. My plea for articles and model information is therefore just as urgent, please submit something. This is my penultimate issue as Editor. We have a volunteer to take over the magazine who is suitably experienced and keen. However, I may not disappear completely from the pages of this publication as some fear (or was it cheer!). I will offer my services to the new Editor in commenting on articles if my services are a benefit. I also plan to spend some of my freed time in building a number of models that have been part started, sit in boxes on the top of cupboards or are just in my mind. I will be submitting articles on these projects, why don’t you do the same. All the best for the festive period and 2006. Regards Jan E.F.-U.K. 5
