MICRO-FLYING - 2015/01
As I write this month’s column, I am still winding down from the great time that my wife, Cindy, and I had at the 15th annual Northeast Electric Aircraft Technology (NEAT) Fair. Event director Tom Hunt and his crew do a wonderful job each year of organizing and running this large, all-electric RC event.

Ever since I saw my first micro RC airplane fly while in college in the mid-1980s, I have been hooked on building and flying micros. Back then, if an RC model had a wingspan of approximately 30 inches, it was considered small. People were amazed when they watched a model of this size fly.

Designing and building your own micro-size scale model can be a challenging and rewarding experience. You can use parts from a damaged RTF model, or purchase equipment based on the subject you are modeling.

Last November, at the Horizon Indoor Electric Festival, I had a chance to test and sort out a few issues I was having with my Mini Vapor float design. The event’s indoor water runway is the perfect place to fly a lightweight floatplane model!

I love to fly models, but I really enjoy building them. It can be a relaxing and rewarding experience to build a model from scratch or from a kit. Building your own models can help you gain experience with installing motors and radio gear, and even teaching you covering techniques.
