Nearly all transmitters have adjustable control stick spring tension. Have you ever adjusted the spring tension on your transmitter sticks to match your style?

What is it like to fly at a jet meet? That is a question that I’ve been asked many times by fellow jet modelers who have yet to take the plunge and fly at an event. My suggestion is to just go and do it. Your fellow jet modelers will help you out.

I am writing this month’s column following a successful day of flying jets with some friends. I plan to help some new turbine jet modelers next weekend, and it got me thinking about how good our equipment and skills have become, and how much easier their path to jet flying would be if they knew what we had learned. The existing quality of equipment is great, but what is important and how is it used?

This year’s Toledo R/C Expo again provided wonderful eye candy on the display tables. Hal Parenti had his latest Ryan FR-1 Fireball, famously known for power, with one turnin’ and one burnin.’ The airplane is powered by a MOKI 1.8 pulling up front, and a Wren 44 pushing in the back.

The two projects I currently am working on are examples of how much modeling has changed. For the first project, I am in the middle of repairing and repainting my Jet-Teng Models EDF XXX Jet, a prepainted composite ARF model. I simply had to drop in the equipment and it was ready to fly. As I started this project, I realized that the jets that I am actively flying are all prepainted composite ARFs.
