ORGANIZATIONS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND SITES OF INTEREST
Hip Pocket Builders A Canadian based forum recently launched and dedicated to the Free Flight and Control line modeller.
Jetex Rocket powered models in one form or another have been around for years, but became a practical proposition in 1948 with the release of the Wilmot Mansour and co Jetex range of re-chargeable motors and yes, the modern versions are available under the brand name of Jet-x. Take a tour of this fascinating website and then you will understand why I still play with them.
Mikes Flying scale pages The purpose of this site is to show examples of free-flight flying scale models from the UK, together with (hopefully) useful information, hints and tips for fellow builders. If newcomers to this fine hobby find encouragement here, then so much the better!
