Exploring the joy of building - 201209
I began flying RC model airplanes when I was a boy, and at that time there were
few RTF aircraft on the market. The only viable option was to build my own.
I spent many hours building and repairing my airplanes while learning how to
fly. I soon found that I enjoyed building models as much as I enjoyed flying them,
and that the experience could be relaxing and rewarding.
Micro-Flying - 2010/11
ONE OF THE
biggest challenges
we face in
constructing and
designing a
micromodel is
keeping the weight
to a minimum. With
advances in battery
technology and
ultralightweight receivers and construction materials, we can build
models weighing only a few grams or less.
Fierce Competition at the Jr Indoor Festival - 2012/03
An indoor water runway and
separate areas for micro,
helicopter, and 3-D flying make
the JR Indoor Electric Festival event one
of the world’s best RC fun-fly events
to attend. Terry Nitsch and his hardworking
crews do a wonderful job of
organizing and running the event. Every
year I attend I am amazed by all of the
fascinating new models that are flown,
and the 2011 show was no exception.

MY WIFE took most of the pictures and notes at the Perryville
Electric River Fliers (PERF) indoor event, so she decided to write
her own review. I’m really glad that she could take the time to
write down and share her own impressions for us.
“What an experience! For the first time my husband and I
attended the Toledo Weak Signals show in Ohio this year. We had
a great time! The numerous static display models, new products,
and various activities were outstanding. I was very impressed at
all the detail and workmanship these skilled modelers put into
their creations.

Fun at the Keystone Indoor Electric Fly
THE FIRST KEYSTONE Indoor Electric
Fly (KIEF) was scheduled to be held in
Jessup, Pennsylvania, in 2007 at the Playing
Fields sports dome. However, a large winter
storm damaged the dome beyond repair, and
the event had to be canceled.
