RADIO CONTROL GIANTS - 2004/12

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I wrote a
construction article on the Kangke
Industrial USA, Inc. Super Kraft 96-inchwingspan,
1⁄4-scale Rearwin Speedster
ARF. The write-up appeared in two
successive columns, with the flight report
appearing much later in the year because of
poor weather conditions. Now, having
logged more than a few hours on the
Speedster, I feel compelled to share my
observations on this outstanding model.

RADIO CONTROL GIANTS - 2005/01

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all readers and their
families.
September 11-12, 2004, I attended the 38th
annual Rhinebeck Jamboree sponsored by the
Mid Hudson R/C Society. The Jamboree is
held at the world-famous Old Rhinebeck
Aerodrome in Rhinebeck, New York.
In the past, the Jamboree was a competitive
event. For a number of reasons, it has changed
to a simpler, popular, noncompetitive gettogether
that is similar to today’s typical
International Miniature Aircraft Association
(IMAA) event. Participation is limited to
Scale models of aircraft built and flown before
December 31, 1939, and no aircraft that flew in combat during World
War II are allowed.

RADIO CONTROL GIANTS 2003/01

SINCe I have prepared this column for the January 2003 issue of
Model Aviation, I want to wish all our readers a happy, healthy, and
prosperous new year!
I know that this issue will hit the streets in late November so it’s
just in time for the holiday season. If you have not arranged with
Santa for your well-deserved RC Giant gift, it ain’t too late!
If you’re looking for an appropriate stocking stuffer for that
special friend or loved one, following are a few ideas that any
Radio Control (RC) Giant flier could use. Best of luck to you!
1) A heavy-duty switch assembly
2) An 1800-2400 receiver battery pack
3) An expanded-scale Voltmeter with built-in load or one with a
separate load button
4) A tachometer
