Radio Control Aerobatics - 2009/03

Precision Aerobatics keeps up with the times
I RECEIVED A request from John Konneker, asking me to let the
general AMA membership know that he was in the process of putting
together a rules-cycle proposal survey for the AMA RC Aerobatics
(Pattern) competition classes 401-404. Before I get into the details of
John’s request, let’s look at why the rules for Aerobatics change at all
and why we really need to keep up with the times in this sport.

Radio Control Aerobatics - 2008/07

THE WORLD MODELS’ A6 Intruder
ARF senior RC Aerobatics (Pattern) model,
which is available through AirBorne
Models, is proving to be a popular design
judging by the number of sales I am seeing
in the hobby store where I work. The Senior
Pattern Association (SPA) is also spreading,
possibly due, in part, to the availability of a
good SPA ARF.
I received a note from Randy
Schwersenska about an upcoming SPA
event in Indiana. It is the Hoosier
Hospitality Senior Pattern Contest, and it
will be held July 26-27, 2008, at the
Johnson County Radio Control Flyers’
(JCRCF) Tracee Field in Edinburgh

Plane Talk: Great Planes Giant Super Chipmunk ARF - 2006/12

THE WRITING ON the box lid of this
Great Planes Super Chipmunk announces
“The return of a magical aerobat.” Anything
to do with the late Art Scholl would hold a
degree of magic; he flew the red, white, and,
blue airplane at many air shows around the
world. This model certainly looks the part,
and with an 81-inch wingspan it should stand
out on the flightline.
