June Indoor Still Improves with New Times
After discussions with several of our Indoor Fliers, it seems that they all credit the increase in flying numbers to the earlier flying times of 7.30p.m. to 9.30p.m. A heartening release from our worries as to why they seemed to be dropping off.
I begin this "Phoenix" article with some intimate details on Mr. Robert McEwin. No! Please don't send the children outside - they are not THAT intimate. Pictured here as my opening shot, Bob is the Editor of the Masa-mag and he speaks with a lot of authority gleaned from his years of model making as well as one of this State's premier fliers. He is a dedicated member of the Holdfast Club where he flies frequently and also one of the leading local fliers at the Sensational Model Aero Events at "Conny."

An exciting RC glider to emerge from the 2014 Nuremberg Toy Fair was the E-Flite RC Allusive. Today we are pleased to announce that the arrival of this new model is imminent. This will be a great glider for fans of thermal soaring. With its streamline fibreglass fuselage, the Allusive is a well-constructed model. This glider offers four-channel control, covering V-tail, ailerons and throttle. You will notice that the canopy is quite large and will give you easy access to the plywood mounting plates; very useful as you put together the necessary components to complete this ARF glider.
The Allusive has a bold design, with bright orange tips on the ends of its two-piece wings. These wings

The sky above Monarto played host to an extraordinary RC jet display last weekend. The annual RC Jet Action was hosted by the Adelaide Model Aerosport Club and what a show it was! Modelflight was fortunate enough to attend the spectacle and we have put together the below video which highlights all the action:

The original Radian from ParkZone was always a popular RC glider, proving to be easy-to-fly and offering great characteristics in the air. In this spirit of this tradition, E-Flite announced earlier this year the introduction of an Ultra Micro Radian and today we are pleased to annouce that this new model has arrived at Modelflight. The Ultra Micro Radian is going to be lots of fun. It comes equipped with AS3X Technology, so you know that your flights are going to be smooth and stable. With its 3-channel control, this minature Radian will offer easy flying and soaring characteristics. This ParkZone glider is constructed from light foam, giving you an easy to handle weight. The wing also comes with carbon fibre support.
