Small-Field Flying - 2010/04

The SMALL fly-in is getting longer
IT’S TIME to make plans. The cover date of this issue indicates
that it is almost time to head to the flying field for some 2010
outdoor flying enjoyment. At least that is true for those of us who
live in colder climates, where that white stuff keeps falling out of
the sky during the winter months.

Small-Field Flying - 2010/02

The looks about right ...
IN THE LAST column, I shared some of my efforts in using threedimensional
computer-aided design software for developing model
airplane plans. Some of you
might have heard the old
expression about making the
trip from theory to reality. As
often happens, my path from
theory—created by the 3-D
design software—to reality—
of a functional aircraft—had
a few potholes.
The project in question
was my attempt at
developing a killer micro
pylon racer for the 2009
Keystone Indoor Electric Fly
(KIEF). Ultimately, the builtup
wing did not work out well and was
replaced with one of sheet balsa. It was
done FF, hand-launch-glider style.

Small-Field Flying - 2012/10

SMALL 2012 continues its legacy as a fun gathering
Small Model Airplane Lovers League (SMALL) 2012
was a great gathering of people with perfect models
for small fi elds. This issue’s cover date suggests that the
outdoor fl ying season is drawing to a close for many of us. This
is a good time to refl ect on the fl ying fun we had during the
warm months of 2012.
