After seeing how well my foam Smart Dart ‘XS’ flies I am going to now build the balsa version. If covered with translucent film I think it will look particularly attractive in the air when the open framework will be visible. If you are looking for a cheap, multi-role, indoor model with a sparkling performance look no further than Paul Cook’s Smart Dart ‘XS’.
Intermodellbau 2005 by Dave Chinery As models shows go, the Americans have the quaint impression that their Toledo model exhibition is the biggest. In fact the annual Intermodellbau show at Dortmund in Germany is much bigger, with just the aeroplane hall, by itself, outsizing the Yanks! This year’s show was open from the 13th – 18th April, and was attended by a large number of British modellers. Although the state of the German economy and the Euro means the knock-down prices of a few years ago are no more, the show’s well worth attending for the huge variety of models and accessories, either new, or never seen in the UK. The show is even easier to get to now! We used to drive over – it’s about 400 miles from West London via the Tunnel, and the BMFA have organised coach/hotel packages for those who won’t drive. However, from this year EasyJet have a twice-daily service from Luton direct to Dortmund Airport, just a bus ride from your hotel, and this year’s fare was only £31 return, booked well in advance! Marble halls! The huge exhibition complex is right next to the stadium of the famous Borussia Dortmund football club, and hotels are within easy walking distance of the doors. As usual, this year’s show occupied eight halls, the largest of which, Hall 4, is dedicated to flying models of all types. The smallest hall, 2N, is still big enough for the indoor flying demonstrations, with Shock Fliers doing rolling loops through the roof girders! Of the rest of the site, Hall 1, the original Westfalenhalle, is full of model boats, Hall 2 is mainly model cars and fire engines, and Hall 3 contains a big indoor R/C car race-track and spectators bleachers. This year, a new Hall 3N contained a separate Computer and Games exhibition, with free entry from the Modellbau. Halls 5 and 6 are mainly devoted to R/C cars E.F.-U.K. 67
