Borealis - 2012/10

Build your own RC bat in time for Halloween
Last year, Halloween came around with its hordes
of witches and bats, and my mind was warped
more than normal! A bat’s wing shape is unique
and I wanted to incorporate it into an RC model. The
deep, scalloped LE wing shape seemed to be a natural
thing to add.

Kentucky Jets - 2007/11

THE KENTUCKY JETS fly-in
presented an opportunity for the Midwest
jet pilots to get together with fellow
modelers and experience three days of
friendly flying fellowship. The event was
held the weekend of July 5-8 at the
Springfield Lebanon Airport under the
capable management of CD Lewis “The
General” Patton. And he needed to be an
“officer” as things popped up. CDs earn
their money

Futaba XFC - 2008/09

THE 7TH ANNUAL Extreme Flight
Championships (XFC) was held at AMA’s
National Flying Site at Muncie, Indiana,
Friday June 13-Sunday June 15. Last year
was windy and challenging for the
contestants, but this year promised to be
even more interesting.
A major weather front that had spawned
tornadoes and severe weather across Iowa
was due to come across this part of Indiana
Friday. However, as I began writing this
Thursday, the weatherman on the local TV
station promised that the conditions would
be great on Saturday and Sunday.
