Tiger Moth XL-716 - 201209
It’s no exaggeration to say that building scale model
aircraft is an art form. in fact, one could say that building
any type of scale model is an art form. but with model
aircraft there is that other dimension: flying. at this point,
the art form morphs into a white-knuckle, heart-pumping,
high-adrenaline adventure.
Romancing the S.E.5a - 2009/05
Electric conversion and scale-up of the great Flair Models kit
A COUPLE OF years ago, I scratch-built
a 1/8-scale British Royal Aircraft Factory
S.E.5a World War I fighter. After flying
this little airplane with a motor for roughly
two years, I became so fond of it that I
decided to build an S.E.5a for a .40-size
engine (approximately 1/6 scale) and
convert it to electric power.
