RotorWorld Magazine
Feb 2nd
THE LEADING MAGAZINE FOR RC HELICOPTER ENTHUSIASTS GOES MONTHLY!
Since its launch in 2003, Rotorworld has established itself as one of the world’s leading radio control model helicopter magazines. Rotorworld is always packed with reviews, special features, event reports, how-to articles, beginners information and the latest new products. The magazine’s pages of informative editorial are complemented by the very highest standards of photography you’ll find in a modern RC publication.
The magazine’s contributor list reads like a ‘who’s who’ of top UK pilots; for example, on the scale side we have Martin Briggs, Iain Erskine, Lee Marshall and John Neasham. UK F3C Champion Steve Roberts plus UK team member Dave Fisher also contribute, as does seven-times UK champ Mark Christy. Meanwhile, top X-Cell demo pilot Jamie Cole and senior BMFA examiners Colin McGinn (our Technical Editor), Richard Budd and Nigel Fraser Ker all make regular contributions. Recently, top American FAI pilot Tim DiPeri has also joined the team.
With that level of expertise behind Rotorworld, it has become a ‘must have’ for any radio control helicopter pilot, whether they be into 3D, scale, FAI, general club sport flying, electrics or micro/indoor flying. Rotorworld – get your copy today either direct from this website on subscription, in many branches of WH Smith nationwide, at independent newsagents, or through your local model shop (we’re available worldwide).
Due to the success of the recent monthly issues of RC Rotorworld, we are very pleased to announce that the magazine will now remain monthly, so be sure to place a regular order and don’t miss a single issue

3D Championship “Spring Break”
Jan 4th
Posted by www.3dchampionship.co.uk
We are in the process of organising a 1 week “warm up event” for the 3D Championships next year in association with RC Hotel in Corfu.
Currently where thinking of a long weekend from 22nd April 2010 to 27th April 2010. There is also the possibility of arriving as early as Tuesday the 20th April.
Every morning there will be a free trip out and about on the beautiful island of Corfu for those who prefer to travel off-site.
They have offered us a special discounted all-inclusive rate of £220 per person for the week which includes breakfast, evening meal and accommodation based on dual occupancy. Flight costs are added on top and a quick check shows it to be around £126 per person.
So this should end up costing less than £350 per person!
We need to know numbers to see if this is feasible so please let us know as soon as possible.
You can use the contact form on this website if you like, or email us at springbreak@3dchampionship.co.ukThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it !
We need a minimum of 40 people so please spread the word and point people to this website!
