First Scale Project
After flying a Dynaflite PT-19 for the past five years, Fran
Arrigo (18821 Caspian Cir., Boca Raton FL 33496; E-mail:
[email protected]) decided that it was time to try a Scale project
for the first time. The result is this Giant Scale P-47 from a Top Flite
kit.
Fran’s Thunderbolt is powered by a Zenoah G-62 engine and
weighs 27 pounds. It features a sliding canopy and full cockpit
detailing.
“The ‘Jug’ flies like it’s on a rail and is a real crowd-pleaser at
shows,” wrote Fran.
Plagiarized Extra 330L
Alan J. Werksman (160 S.W. 12th Ave., Deerfield Beach FL
33442) admits that the color scheme and design on his Extra 330L
from an RC Models America kit were “shamelessly copied from a
picture in a Tower Hobbies catalog!”
The model has a wingspan of 104 inches and weighs 28 pounds.
It is powered by a 3W-100 engine, has Futaba guidance, and is
covered with UltraCote.

Jon Seppelt (5930 Kirkwood Cir., Plymouth MN 55442; E-mail:

Jim Pepino plans.
A Moki 2.10 engine matched to a 20 x 10 APC propeller
provides power. The airplane spans 100 inches and weighs 27
pounds. It is covered with fiberglass and is finished with automotive
paints.
Jon began construction on this model when he was 15 and
completed it two years later. He started building airplanes at age 11,
and this is the seventh model he has completed.

Mitchell Heller (3110 Harrison, Glenview IL 60025; E-mail:

Doodlebug Control Line Precision Aerobatics model from Flying
Models plans.
It spans 42 inches and is powered by an O.S. .40 LA engine fed
by a 4-ounce uniflow tank. The wings are covered with transparent
MonoKote, and the fuselage is painted with John Deere green.
“The first flight was letter perfect, and it did the stunt pattern
with ease,” wrote Mitchell.

First Scale Project
After flying a Dynaflite PT-19 for the past five years, Fran
Arrigo (18821 Caspian Cir., Boca Raton FL 33496; E-mail:
[email protected]) decided that it was time to try a Scale project
for the first time. The result is this Giant Scale P-47 from a Top Flite
kit.
Fran’s Thunderbolt is powered by a Zenoah G-62 engine and
weighs 27 pounds. It features a sliding canopy and full cockpit
detailing.
“The ‘Jug’ flies like it’s on a rail and is a real crowd-pleaser at
shows,” wrote Fran.
Plagiarized Extra 330L
Alan J. Werksman (160 S.W. 12th Ave., Deerfield Beach FL
33442) admits that the color scheme and design on his Extra 330L
from an RC Models America kit were “shamelessly copied from a
picture in a Tower Hobbies catalog!”
The model has a wingspan of 104 inches and weighs 28 pounds.
It is powered by a 3W-100 engine, has Futaba guidance, and is
covered with UltraCote.
Young and Talented
Jon Seppelt (5930 Kirkwood Cir., Plymouth MN 55442; E-mail:
[email protected]) built his 1⁄4-scale Supermarine S.6B from
Jim Pepino plans.
A Moki 2.10 engine matched to a 20 x 10 APC propeller
provides power. The airplane spans 100 inches and weighs 27
pounds. It is covered with fiberglass and is finished with automotive
paints.
Jon began construction on this model when he was 15 and
completed it two years later. He started building airplanes at age 11,
and this is the seventh model he has completed.
Doodlebug
Mitchell Heller (3110 Harrison, Glenview IL 60025; E-mail:
[email protected]) built this Bill Netzeband-designed
Doodlebug Control Line Precision Aerobatics model from Flying
Models plans.
It spans 42 inches and is powered by an O.S. .40 LA engine fed
by a 4-ounce uniflow tank. The wings are covered with transparent
MonoKote, and the fuselage is painted with John Deere green.
“The first flight was letter perfect, and it did the stunt pattern
with ease,” wrote Mitchell.
