112 MODEL AVIATION
Greg Hahn flew his B-25 “Dirty Dora” Fun Scale model to a win at the Mint Julep
Scale contest in May at the Rough River State Resort Park in Kentucky. Top Flite
plans to release an ARF version of this model by the year’s end.

AS THIS IS being written it’s flying
season almost anywhere you go in the
US. It’s the time of the Nats and many
other Scale contests, as well as Scale flyins
and fun-flys. Some have better
success than others, and many contests
that are successful have a “hook,” or
attraction, for the people who attend.
The hook may be the flying site, but
in most of the US we are blessed with
multiple flying sites that afford us many
opportunities to hold contests or fly-ins.
The larger the city, sometimes the more
opportunities you have. Then again,
others have fewer sites close to home.
Here in Nashville, Tennessee, we are
lucky that we have multiple flying sites
within a short drive of almost anyone’s
home. I hope you are in a similar
situation.
Back to the hook. Each year Top Gun
presents many modelers with the first
chance to fly their models since their last
flight in the fall. A practice session is
available to get all the winter moths
sorted out before the competition begins.
Then there is the location of Top Gun,
in Lakeland, Florida, with Disney World
close by and all the other attractions the
10sig4.QXD 8/24/06 12:49 PM Page 112Orlando, Florida, area has to offer. That’s
one big hook for modelers.
The contest I’ll cover this month is held
in a Kentucky state park called the Rough
River State Resort Park. On the Green
River the surrounding lake has beautiful
scenery and boat rentals. Cabins and
rooms at the inn are also available.
However, if the Mint Julep Scale
contest is in town that week, you might
have a tough time getting
accommodations. The rooms and cabins
book up at least a year in advance—
sometimes several years. If you want a
room for next May’s Mint Julep, contact
the Kentucky Department of Parks now.
The Mint Julep is one of the oldest
contests in this part of the country and
maybe any others in the southeast. The
host Southern Indiana R/C Modelers club
has had a great working relationship with
the Kentucky park service for more than
35 years now.
Club President Dale Arvin and his wife
Mary put a great deal into the event each
year, as do the rest of the club members.
John Guenther serves as the co-CD and
performs many other duties.
Classes at the Mint Julep are divided
into Division I and Division II for Expert.
This puts similar aircraft types together in
competition, which in many people’s eyes
is a fairer way to compete in Scale events.
Division I is for aircraft with retracts,
aircraft with more than one mechanical
function, racing designs, or fighter types.
It includes such models as Greg Hahn’s B-
25, which took first place this year, Tom
Czikk’s big P-47 Razorback Thunderbolt,which came in second, and Dave
Pinegar’s own-design Piper Arrow—a
civil aircraft with flaps and retracts.
Expert Division II is for the more
docile-flying aircraft with one or no
mechanical options that are not designed
for racing. Mike Barbee won this year,
flying his beautiful 1/3-scale WACO
YMF-5, and Arthur Shelton finally
stepped up into the Expert class and
finished second with his 1/3-scale
Eindecker E.I. Bill Brucken flew his
Fairchild M-62 to a third-place finish.
These and other classes held at most
Scale contests across the country include
Fun Scale. For that division you can buy
your model or borrow it if a really good
friend trusts your flying abilities. There
are only five static points, and one photo
of the full-scale aircraft is all you need to
receive the high score.
This year’s first-place finisher in Fun
Scale Open was repeat winner Greg Hahn
with a new model that will probably be
available by the time you see this
column: a B-25 electric-powered ARF.
Greg’s bomber is painted as “Dirty
Dora.”
Jeremy Arvin finished in second place
flying a Super Cub, and Sam Hart
finished third with an F8F Bearcat.
Not sure you can fly in a contest?
Want a really good pilot to fly your
model for you? You might want to tryTeam Scale, which matches a good
builder with a good pilot. It’s a good idea
to have lots of practice together for an
event.
This year Dave Pinegar flew George
Maiorana’s Tu-4 to another win at the
Mint Julep. George is working on another
project, and I can’t wait to see it soon. It’s
a Tu-95 with counter-rotating propellers.
I’ll have more about Scale competition
next month!
Bookshelf: Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate by
Leszek A. Wieliczko, published by
Kagero, has 122 pages when you count all
the scale drawings and color profiles of
different aircraft and models. This is
another excellent resource for those of us
who want to build a Scale model you
don’t see every day at the field.
The Ki-84 was a Japanese World War
II Army fighter, with conventional
landing gear and all-metal construction.
That airplane followed a line of fighters
for the Japanese Army, including the Ki-
27 Nate and the Ki-43 Oscar.
Looking at the photos gives you an
idea of how hard the environment was on
the aircraft and the paint. In several
pictures the Ki-84s have paint flaking off
the fuselage and wing surfaces. Several
friends who are familiar with Japanese
aircraft told me that by 1944 they were
painting the aircraft with pretty much
whatever they could find.
There are approximately 110 blackand-
white photos in the book showing
different airframes and aircraft details.
Some of the detail shots include the
cockpit, bomb and/or fuel-tank racks,
landing-gear close-ups, and scoops.
Color profiles including the cockpit
and 11 pages of color profiles and color
schemes are included. There are also 1/72-,
1/48-, and 1/32-scale drawings for
multiview outline drawings. The book is
available for $22.96 plus shipping from

New Products: The Beechcraft Model 17
Staggerwing has been a unique aircraft in
aviation history. When it was first
produced in late 1932, it was a huge
advance in the fact that it had a faster top
speed than our fighter aircraft!
The later models, which included
Model 17L, 17R, A17F, and B17B, among
others, were refinements to the original
prototype. Remember that this was just
five years after Charles Lindbergh flew
across the Atlantic.
The Staggerwing was a biplane but it
had retracts. It was a civil passenger
aircraft for the rich—a 1930s
businessman’s hot rod in the sky. The
original prototype had fixed gear too. But
there were many different models, and the
airplane was still being produced after
World War II. At that point Beech was
producing the Model G17S.
The Staggerwing has fascinated
modelers for decades, having been
produced in every form imaginable. There
are even ARF versions of the aircraft.
The version I’m featuring this month is
from veteran and prolific designer Nick
Ziroli. His 86-inch-span model has plans,
cowling, plastic tail cone, wing tube, and
sleeve, as well as Robart retract landing
gear. Nick Ziroli Plans has all the parts
available for the model.
Wood kits are also sold for all Nick’s
designs, including the Staggerwing.
Several kit-cutter companies produce
many kits for plans designers, but you do
have to build the model. It’s not an ARF,
thank goodness!
Nick has campaigned the military
version of this aircraft last year and this
year at such events as Top Gun and the
Scale Nats in Designer and Masters
classes.
The plans come on four sheets with a
plans catalog and one of the most
important components of the plans: a
construction booklet. The Beech
Staggerwing has some specific parts
because of the full-scale layout, and they
are drawn out and included for the model.
The construction booklet has black-andwhite
photos that basically spell out what
goes where and how. It also lets you know
what glues to use in most instances.
The majority of the construction photos
detail the fuselage. It builds into a great
Scale model for which many full-scale
photo packs are available. A Staggerwing
has an unmistakable silhouette in the sky
when it’s finished. The plans show a
Zenoah G-62 engine, which will haul this
model around the field with authority.
The plans cost $56, and all the other
parts and goodies are available too. Kits
are also available from The Aeroplane
Works, 2134 Gilbride Rd., Martinsville NJ
