Radio Control Scale-2004/11
ONE OF THE often-neglected areas of a
Scale model is the cockpit. It’s the place
where the full-scale pilot operates all
controls. He or she has to check all of the
instruments, dials, gauges, and a multitude
of other items before even taking off.
Radio Control Scale-2004/12
BY SOME MODELERS’ standards, the
best-kept secret in the Scale community is
the FAI Scale World Championships. This
column will cover the 2004 edition held in
Deblin, Poland, July 23-August 1, and the
team who went there to represent the United
States of America, AMA, their local clubs,
and all of us. This might get your
competitive and patriotic juices flowing to
try this “Olympics of Scale Competition.”
RADIO CONTROL SCALE - 2005/05
HAVING FUN WITH Scale models and the people who love to
build, fly, and research them is just part of the camaraderie at
Scale fly-ins and most Scale contests around the world. Making
the fly-in fun and interesting for those who attend brings them
back again and again.
The One Eighth Air Force Scale Fly-In takes place every
spring and fall in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s a great source of
fellowship for modelers throughout the region, providing time to
catch up with families and friends. You can discuss new projects
that you’ve been working on, as well as what works for you and
what doesn’t.
Radio Control Scale-2011/09
FOR MANY YEARS, the model airplane
industry has flooded us with ARFs and we
have greedily bought them. This has been
great for many, especially when they are scale
ARFs. But when is a scale ARF not a scale
model
Radio Control Scale - 2008/05
I HAD INTENDED to start this column with
an update of contests you might like to attend
this spring. But that will have to wait.
