CL Aerobatics - 2013/03

Electric Power Conversion. It’s time to start the project airplane that I mentioned in my last column, which will take advantage of the E-flite Power 15 motor or an equivalent motor. Such a model should be easy to fly, inexpensive, and could be a competition model as well as an advanced CL Aerobatics trainer. The subject model is Bill Werwage’s Classic Stunt-legal Vulcan. AMA’s Plans Service is the plans source, for anyone who might want to build one.

Modeling Spoken Here - 2005/06

IT’S APRIL 13TH here in eastern
Pennsylvania as I write this column, and
the weather has just “broken.” Winter has
finally thrown in the proverbial towel and
we are in line for much more fair weather
than foul in the foreseeable future. Spring
has sprung.
I can hardly wait to see the line at the
frequency board at the local RC
aerodrome this weekend. The weather is
supposed to be perfect. Wind speeds are
forecast to be minimal to nothing at all,
and the skies are going to be blue and
clear. Like I said, perfect. Or is it?
