Control Line Scale - 2009/12
FRANK BEATTY of Granite City,
Illinois, has a great knack for picking
unique aircraft from the 1930s to model.
This time he has chosen the post-World
War II Rapide known as G-AHKV, which
was the prototype for the de Havilland
D.H.89A Mk 6 and one of the airplanes in
the Dragon family. The “Dragon” name is
taken from the twin-winged dragonfly
insect

CARDBOARD FOR model construction?
Most of you have probably built models
from standard balsa and hardwood kits,
designed your own, or tried the ARFs that
generally use a considerable amount of
foam in their construction. Perhaps you
would like to try something different for
that next Fun or Sport Scale model.

THE F-4 PHANTOM featured in this
month’s column was built by Dennis Slater
of Chicago, Illinois, from a Westcoast Radio
Control (RC) kit he found at a swap meet; he
had never seen one before and hasn’t seen
one since. The very yellow newspaper found
stuffed between the parts in the box was
dated 1972.

DURING THE LAST several years, the Central Arizona Control Line
Club and the Cholla Choppers of Tucson have combined efforts to
promote major contest activity in Arizona. The Vintage Stunt
Championships has been a favorite for Precision Aerobatics (Stunt).
Then there is the Cabin Fever for Racing, the Red Flag and AZ
Challenge for Combat, and Navy Carrier Plus.
