Tucson Aerobatic Shootout - 2004/05
NOW THAT THE Tournament of Champions (TOC) is history,
where will we go to find top-level flying events with top-name
competitors? If the people who put the Tucson Aerobatic
Shootout (TAS) together have anything to say about it, we’ll all
head to the heart of Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, to
see the top names fly. And the best pilots in the world will duke it
out to claim today’s and future top honors.

RADIO CONTROL SCALE AEROBATICS - 2003/09
I WAS LUCKY this year to get a chance
to go to the annual Toledo Weak Signals
RC industry show in Toledo, Ohio. As
Scale Aerobatics (SA) enthusiasts, we are
probably the most fortunate Special
Interest Group in AMA. The show was
packed to the ceilings with loads of SA
airplanes and equipment.

IF YOU’RE interested in Scale Aerobatics
you most likely read my coverage of the
2002 Tournament of Champions (TOC) in
the April Model Aviation. Hopefully you
also read Bob Hunt’s editorial in that same
issue, and you know that the founder and
sole benefactor of the TOC—William G.
Bennett—passed away this past December
Project Extra Volume VI: Setup and Flight Preparation
ON A RECENT trip to the local flying field, one of the members had
brought his latest project, shiny and new, ready for the initial test
flight. I watched as he and his buddies began to go over the aircraft,
checking this and checking that. They adjusted the servo throw, and
two or three guys started to remove pieces from the airplane while
others made adjustments. Soon there was a large crowd around the
airplane. After some time it was determined that the owner needed to
take the airplane back home for some finishing before it could be
flown.
