EXCUSE ME SIR, but I think your nose just
fell off! Never underestimate the importance
of a tight nose block. A loose nose block can
cause trimming problems because the
thrustline will change in flight as the tension
of the rubber motor decreases.

Estes Aero Xs and Air Hogs E-Chargers are fun for kids. MANY OF US dads and grandpas are
looking for models with which to hook our
unsuspecting kids and grandkids on the fun of
FF. Ed Toner recently told me about the Estes
Aero X model. He had some success with it
after adding a .177-caliber pellet to the nose
for balance. Ed has even lost one out of sight!
I found an Aero X at the local Hobby Lobby
for $12

THE HEYDAY OF model aviation was in
the 10 years after Charles Lindbergh’s
historic crossing of the Atlantic Ocean via
aircraft in 1927. Tens of thousands of youth
built and flew model airplanes, and many
groups were developed to organize modelers
and promote model aviation.
