First ever!?? Footy article in a Japanese R/C magazine.

suirendoujin · Aug 08, 2007, 08:04 AM

Received my complimentary copy of R/C Technique magazine today. Should you be in Japan anytime from the 10th of this month to 9th of September, go to a book store. Ask the store clerk for a copy of September 2007 Rajikon-gijyutu magazine. Englsih name of the magazine is R/C Technique. It has a big 4 engined amphibious seaplane on the cover. Then flick through the pages to page 47 and voila! A single page article in color!

of my Footy (see thread http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681887). This article appeared as part of Modeler's showcase section of the magazine, so I am hoping this will gain POSITIVE publicity for the Footy class here in Japan. Only full scratch models are exhibited in this section, and I think that's what Footys' are all about.
If interested, then flip the pages further to page 180, and you will find a two page article about ferrite core noise filters. Eh, this one is for R/C sailPLANES. Score another! Yep, this article is also by me.

Well done!

Any chance of scanning the article or a brief summary in translation?

suirendoujin · Aug 08, 2007, 05:01 PM

Well, eh, okay. It was my first article published in R/C Technique on sailBOATS. But I had lost count on how many articles I have published in that magazine related to R/C sailPLANES. But it feels really nice to have my model in the Modeler's showcase pages, because it too was a first for me. September 2007 issue wont hit the newsstands until the 10th, so I cant show anything yet. But all there it to know about my Footy is already there on my other thread in this forum.

Well, October issue of R/C technique came out today, so might as well make a new post. A bit of history made.

suirendoujin....

Congratulations man!!! For people like me, for whom bluthering online is about the closest I'll get to being published, getting featured in a magazine is a tremendous achievement.

Here's hoping to see more from you in the press in the future... and hopefully it'll turn up in a magazine I can get here in Malaysia.
