RADIO CONTROL GIANTS 2003/11
WELCOME TO the November 2003 Radio Control (RC) Giants
column. I have finally finished the Aviomodelli CANT Z.1007bis
Italian bomber kit from Internet RC. I’ve included a picture of the
completed 90-inch-span model along with my 7-year-old son for
perspective.

SINCE LAST
month’s column,
I was able to
complete the large
wing fillets on the
1/4-scale Polikarpov
I-16. I sanded the
initial, heavy layer
of finishing resin
mixed with
microballoons and
gave the fillets a
second, lighter skim
coat. The 1/32
aircraft-grade
plywood saddles,
blue foam material,
and finishing
resin/microballoons worked well together in constructing the fillets.

UNTIL RECENTLY, if you needed markings, insignia, or decals
for your model, you had to turn to those who are in the business of
making them. Specialized sign-making equipment was needed, and
few modelers had the resources to take on the task themselves.

18th annual Warbirds Over Delaware

Questions about blended fuel
WELCOME BACK to the RC Giants
column. In recent issues I have written
about ethanol-blended fuels that we have
been using in our gasoline-powered models.
This must be a popular subject, because
other publications have addressed the issue
too. Small-engine repair shops point a finger
at ethanol as the cause of fuel-systemrelated
problems.
