COLUMBIA CITY, Indiana: Scott Hill
teaches at Indian Springs Middle School.
He sent in the following pictures about his
aviation class’s project. These students are
12 and 13 years old and attend school in
Columbia City, Indiana.
One of the class projects was a Sig
Fazer. Students were divided into groups.
Each group built a different part of the
airplane. A Fox .45 was mounted for
power, and the aircraft flies like a dream.
All of the students joined AMA through
this class, some getting the magazine. The
group took roughly nine weeks to
construct the model, using their half hour
meetings. Three students have built their
own airplanes, and one has joined the local
flying club and is its youngest member.
The aircraft was purchased through
Hobbyland in Fort Wayne. Jeff, the
manager and owner, was helpful in
supporting this program.
Chicago, Illinois: Mitchell Heller sent a
picture of his 38 Special, built from a
Brodak kit. The fuselage is Brodak dope
and wings are white MonoKote. Power is a
Fox .35.
Mitchell flies on 60-foot lines at Ned
Brown Woods near Arlington Heights,
Illinois.
Another airplane by Mitchell (below), a
Dewey Bird, is painted with Rust-Oleum
and the wings are covered with UltraCote.
The engine is an O.S. LA .25.
Indiana/Illinois: Associate vice president
(AVP) Frank Roales sent in some pictures
from his travels. The first are from the
Henderson Radio Control fly-in. There
were 103 pilots registered and
approximately 200 airplanes on deck.
Dan Stenens’ great-flying Grumman
Skyrocket is powered by Webra 120s.
This 10-foot B-29 carries the X-1 aloft.
Frank took these pictures below at the
Prop Busters’ Catfish fly-in at Browns,
Illinois. Roughly 50 airplanes were
displayed. The weather was less than ideal,
but some good flying time was found
between the wind and rain.
