design translates into
delightful model
Roger Dodger - 2005/05
IF AN AIRPLANE looks good and flies well, I suspect
that most modelers would have very little interest in its
design history or design inspiration. This lightweight,
all-built-up balsa, electric-powered sport model offers
an interesting appearance and lively, fun aerobatic
performance.
This project is based on a 50-year-old CL aircraft
design by Harold “Red” Reinhart. I was so impressed at
that time by Red’s flying ability and his aircraft that, for
some nostalgic fun, I went back in history to use this design
as the basis for a new electric-powered RC sport aircraft
with today’s technology in equipment and power plants.
Lotsa Watts - 2007/08
TWIN-ENGINE airplanes are fun, larger airplanes are fun,
and I’ve been enjoying electric-powered flying, so here’s
the Lotsa Watts. It’s a big, double-motored aerobatic sport
flier that is easy to build and fly.
The G-Fast - 2010/12
I had a Moki 1.80 engine and no airplane to put
it in. Then I saw some photos of English 1930s
racing aircraft, and I wanted to try building a wing
with Bob Hunt’s Lost Foam construction technique.
The G-FAST is the result.
IL-2 Stormovik - 2007/10
Sport modelers will find that this Ilyushin tank buster is armored for fun
EASILY RECOGNIZED by World War
II-airplane fans, this model is of the
Russian Ilyushin Il-2 Stormovik groundattack
aircraft that worked so well during
the war. More Stormoviks were built than
any other combat aircraft that any other
nation used in the conflict.
