How to safely land 75% of an RC airplane
A READER and I corresponded about an
amazing video that he sent me. It was
filmed during an RC Aerobatics
competition. The models were Giant Scale
replicas of modern aircraft, and the pilot
in the video was so spectacularly skilled
that I felt like a complete doofus by
comparison. (My flying pals would say
there is good reason for this feeling.)

ARE YOU A sportsman/sportswoman or
a hobbyist? Some say that the dividing
line between the two is whether you build
your aircraft or buy it ready to fly. Even
this line gets blurry because there are kits
available with a portion or most of the
work undone.
