Radio Control Jets - 2006/04
The face of jet modeling is changing; here’s a quick “state of the sport” report
RADIO CONTROL JETS - 2005/01
I’LL START this month by extending my congratulations to all
members of Team USA who will be representing us at the sixth Jet
World Masters in 2005. The team includes Dustin Buescher, Sung
Kim, Don Reger, Dave Ribbe, Rod Snyder, and Bryce Watson.
Roger Shipley will serve as the team captain.
Roger put together the qualifying event, pulled together skillful
and motivated participants, and is continuing to work hard to
secure sponsorship for the team. This is no simple task for Team
USA because the Jet World Masters will be held in Hungary.
The variety of ARF kits available to the jet modeler is expanding
at an unbelievable pace. It started a few years ago with the highly
successful Eurosport—a great-flying, large model that introduced
many fliers to turbine-powered aircraft. The Eurosport, along with
a variety of other jet ARF models, proved the ARF concept, and
now there is a huge selection of such quality aircraft available.

SUMMER IS BACK and jet flying is in
full force here in the Midwest. I got a new
turbine this winter—an ArtesJet Eagle—
and with the good flying weather, I have
been flying it hard. My turbines get used.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE US team
that will compete in the International Jet
Model Committee (IJMC) Jet World
Masters are complete. The members were
selected in September at Litchfield,
Illinois, two days before the Route 66 Jets
event held at the Litchfield Municipal
Airport.

ONE ISSUE THAT is regularly brought up
is what type of fuel to use. I have burned Jet-A
purchased at airports, low-odor kerosene from
hardware stores, and kerosene from the pump
at a gas station. All have run fine in our
turbine engines.
