2007 US Scale Masters Championships - 2008/03
IN OCTOBER last year it was time to get
ready for the 28th annual US Scale Masters
Championships, which was held the 11th-
14th that month. It would have been nice to
get in some practice flying before the trip,
but fall arrived in Kansas on the calendar
only. For most of the month the winds were
high, even by Kansas standards (25-40
mph), and the temperatures were near 90°.
The Storch and Me - 2008/02
I STARTED BUILDING flying models as a
teenager in the late 1950s. Even then Scale
aircraft was my only real interest and CL was
my only option for flying them. I was
dormant in the hobby for roughly three
decades in my young-adult years because of
career and family priorities. By the late 1980s
my kids had become adults and I had the time
and means to rekindle the hobby. By that time
RC had become reliable and affordable.
