Don’t forget to build a Viking for the 1/2A One Design event
at the 2011 AMA Nats. Plans for the original are available from the
National Free Flight Society (NFFS), listed as Viking 1/2A. The
reduced-size version is available as a kit from BMJR Model Products.

ARE YOU READING this column out of
simple curiosity? Maybe you are reading out
of morbid curiosity. Are you interested in
trying rubber-powered models? Maybe you
are an avid Radio Control flier who would
like to try your hand at a stick-and-tissue
model. Maybe you built a stick model as a
kid and want to try it again. Perhaps you are
a teenager who built a Science Olympiad
model and want to build a larger rubberpowered
model. This column may help, but
you will probably want more information
than I can provide here

THE GAS MODEL for the NFFS
[National Free Flight Society] One Design
event at the 2009 Nats will be Sal Taibi’s
1/2A Spacer. Bill Vanderbeek will give
every participant a nice certificate with a
three-view of the model that John
Anderson drew.

WHEN I HEARD about the flight times of Clive Gamble’s Camel
at last year’s Flying Aces Club (FAC) Nats, I couldn’t believe it.
With scale flight times of 1:32, 2:10, and 1:47, I thought “You have
to be kidding me!”

FREE FLIGHT SPORT: Flight is the
endgame in this hobby. I was reading a Flying
Aces Club (FAC) newsletter and saw a flighttrimming
article by Al Likely. Al believes that
in addition to science, there is a “feel,” a
“touch,” and an “art” involved in trimming. I
hope it is not an art. My high-school English
teacher told me she thought there was a little
poetry in everyone until she read my poem.
My artistic ability is on roughly the same level
as my poetry.
