rc soaring - 2012/05

Welcome to the Soaring column. This month, I have some interesting
detail from two master builders.
Vladimir Gavrilko, maker of the
Blaster, Supra, and Maxa, is now using a new type
of carbon material: Spread Tow Carbon (STC),
which is essentially a thin mat of carbon fibers.

Radio Control Soaring - 2009/11

MOST OF US are familiar with
traditional Thermal Duration (TD) and
most of us have heard of F3J Soaring, but
I’ll wager that not many out there
understand the subtle differences between
the two contest formats. I certainly didn’t.
One of the premier F3J events held in
the US is the F3J in the Rockies contest. I
made the quick hop from Kansas City,
Kansas, to Denver, Colorado, to check it
out.
