Radio Control Aerobatics - 2008/07
THE WORLD MODELS’ A6 Intruder
ARF senior RC Aerobatics (Pattern) model,
which is available through AirBorne
Models, is proving to be a popular design
judging by the number of sales I am seeing
in the hobby store where I work. The Senior
Pattern Association (SPA) is also spreading,
possibly due, in part, to the availability of a
good SPA ARF.
I received a note from Randy
Schwersenska about an upcoming SPA
event in Indiana. It is the Hoosier
Hospitality Senior Pattern Contest, and it
will be held July 26-27, 2008, at the
Johnson County Radio Control Flyers’
(JCRCF) Tracee Field in Edinburgh
RADIO CONTROL AEROBATICS - 2003/08
PREVIOUSLY I GOT into what it takes to
attend a contest. This month I will peep
behind the curtain and look at what it takes to
put on and run a contest. But first I have the
results of test-flying the GiantScalePlanes
Swallow Almost Ready to Fly (ARF).
Plane Talk: Great Planes Giant Super Chipmunk ARF - 2006/12
THE WRITING ON the box lid of this
Great Planes Super Chipmunk announces
“The return of a magical aerobat.” Anything
to do with the late Art Scholl would hold a
degree of magic; he flew the red, white, and,
blue airplane at many air shows around the
world. This model certainly looks the part,
and with an 81-inch wingspan it should stand
out on the flightline.
RADIO CONTROL AEROBATICS - 2004/08
THE 2004 NATS will coincide with the US FAI F3A Team Trials.
Readers often ask why the top three Nats pilots are not just automatically
selected as the US representatives. The answer is not obvious to the
casual observers or to those of us who are deep into the sport.
