RADIO CONTROL GIANTS 2003/10

IN THE JULY 2003 Radio Control (RC) Giants column, I wrote
about the Sirius SuperTest from Peak Electronics. I referred to the
SuperTest as a cycler. George Joy, “the Sirius Charger guy,”
wrote to thank me for the coverage in the column and informed
me that the SuperTest is not a cycler, but a precision battery tester
that only discharges batteries.

A good choice for your first RC Giant
WHEN I REFER to RC Giants, Giant Scale, or the generic term
used for most large models—1/4 scale—I mean models that fall
within the specifications of the International Miniature Aircraft
Association (IMAA). The classifications are an 80-inch-span
monoplane, a 60-inch-span biplane, and a 140-inch total wingspan
and fuselage length for jets and true 1/4 scale.

Pink-It finishing tape and Rub-It transfers from GetStencils.com. WELCOME BACK to the RC Giants column. Modelers who build
and fly larger models usually tend to go a step further in detailing their
creations. This is certainly true for our members who scratch- or plansbuild
for competition. Maybe it’s because the surfaces are much larger
and we have to add something to fill in the empty areas.
