Off With the Old, on With the New - 2009/02
Personalize your ARF to make it stand out
IMAGINE THAT you’re at the flying field
at 10 a.m. on a bluebird-fine Saturday
morning. There are clear skies with no wind,
and the happy buzz of motors fills the sky.
Sipping hot coffee from a Thermos, your
friend, Bill, looks on approvingly as you
make touch-and-gos across the runway
with your Sportflyer.
AUTHENTIC SPOKED WHEELS - 2008/01
Build lightweight
custom wire wheels
for your park flyer
or FF model
IT MAY SEEM intimidating, but building
wire wheels for your model can have your
flying buddies turning their heads and
saying “Where did you buy those little
gems?” They’ll look at you as if you just
took on the status of a watchmaker when
you say “I made them myself.”
Build Your Own RC Flight Box
When I was learning to fly, I'd arrive at the field carrying a flight box built from scraps of chipboard. I'd also have a cardboard box full of fuel, paper towels, and other odds and ends. From the back of his pickup, my instructor would pull out his beautifully made, varnished flight box. Everything seemed to be in the right place and easily at hand. My motley assortment of flightline paraphernalia looked tacky by comparison. After more than a few jokes about "What grade of chipboard do I buy to build a flight box like that?" I resolved to design and build a flight box of my own.
