Aero Mail
I caught a mistake that I first made when I wrote the
NatsNews this summer in Muncie. I incorrectly identified the
builder and owner for the Piper Super Cub or “Top Cub” as
Phil Sibil le; that is incorrect. It was repeated in the
November 2010 MA as well.
The Inside Loop - 2011/02
Thinking warm thoughts is an
occupational hazard at the AMA. Yes,
the chilling temperatures of winter do
cower in the wake of our presence.
Still, the runways are covered in snow and
we’re forced (?) to retreat to a heated hangar
20 minutes away at the airport in Anderson.
With the Anderson Extreme Flyers is a mighty
fine way to spend a Saturday. I hope you’re
doing something similar.
Hobby Lobby Super Hornet - 2011/07
REPRESENTINGTHEPRIDE
of the US Navy is the F/A-18E/F
Super Hornet, which the Boeing
Corporation presently
manufactures. McDonnell Douglas
built the original F-18C/D in great
numbers to serve in the Navy and
Marine branches of the American
military, and it is still the machine
of choice for the Navy Blue Angels
aerobatics demonstration team.
Power Switch: Futaba 10C 2.4 GHz FASST System - 2009/09
SO MANY CHOICES are available to the RC modeler. Besides
every size of aircraft, there’s an abundance of helicopters from
which to choose. If that weren’t enough, today’s seasoned
aeromodeling enthusiast might even be scratching his or her head
about what frequency to use.
Plane Talk: E-flite Blade CP - 2006/01
THANKS TO THE latest distribution efforts (including those on
eBay), the fixed-pitch, electric-powered helicopter market has been
booming with remarkably low-priced RTF models. I’ve been
fortunate enough to play with a number of these, and the experience
has been challenging and rewarding.
