Micro-Flying - 2004/06
GREETINGS, FRIENDS. Despite the
cover date, I am writing this in January
while looking out the window at deep
frozen snow. The wind is blowing, and I am
extremely grateful for a warm house.
Micro-Flying - 2003/10
HELLO FRIENDS in microland. I attended the 2003 Weak Signals
Toledo show, and there were plenty of new goodies for micro fans to
see. The indoor flying session at Bowling Green State University
Saturday night was a terrific opportunity to watch and examine the
latest and greatest in indoor models and equipment.

Micro-Flying - 2005/03
There is a rising star in the field of
micromodels. Scott Christensen, who is a
manager with Sig Manufacturing, is no
stranger to quality modeling. Roughly a
year ago, he was bitten by the micro bug
and obtained an RFFS-100 control
system. In practically no time, Scott had a
new design flying that he calls the
Yardsail. I saw it at the Toledo Show and
again in Waterford, and I was delighted
with the obvious quality and good flying
habits.
Big Punkin - 2005/03
THE BIG PUNKIN goes way back
in its ancestry. The first park flyer
on record was designed by Ken
Willard and published in Model
Airplane News under the name
Breezy. A biplane with a boxy
fuselage and unequal wings, it
caught my eye from the first.
No big deal? The year was 1955!
