Swashplate: Advantage Hobby Beam E4 - 2009/07
HOLY
COW!
There are many
450-class helicopters to
choose from these days. When

Contests and fun-flys are just a couple
of the memorable happenings MA
brings to AMA members; at least
one event is featured each month. In this issue
we have three to bring you, plus World
Championships reports and local events are
splashed throughout the departments and
column spaces. Columnists like Richard
Lopez and John Kagan are inspirations to me,
and they both share reports that are teethclenching
to read.

An airplane’s balance point is likely
the most crucial part of any model.
Designers who draw plans
pinpoint it, manufacturers that produce kits
explain the range, and factories that build
ARFs give us the exact measurement. After
all, if it’s to fly, that very point needs to be
perfect if complete fulfillment of the effort is
to be realized.

Make sure your priorities are in
order. Don’t be like me and
move into a new house with the
first duty to make sure there’s a working
kitchen. First and foremost, everyone’s
living area (house, apartment, or
Winnebago) must have a functional
workstation.
