Radio Control Scale Aerobatics - 2010/06
A fellow modeler who had just started assembling his first
giant Scale Aerobatics model recently asked me a few questions.
Specifically, he purchased his first 35% airplane and was concerned
about what radio system he should use. Moreover, he wanted to know
if his seven-channel radio would suffice or if he needed a system with
more channels.

A discussion about spins
WHEN I STARTED working for MA, I wrote
a column that was based on the International
Miniature Aerobatic Club (IMAC) Basic
sequence for that year and the various Aresti
figures that the program entailed. This month I
will write about spins. We will look at the
Aresti drawings for the spins in the 2009 Basic,
Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, and
Unlimited programs.

How to perform the Basic IMAC sequence. IN THE LAST column I covered the first five maneuvers of the
2007 Basic International Miniature Aerobatic Club (IMAC)
sequence. This month I will continue to help you, the reader,
become familiar with reading Aresti (the language of aerobatics).

Giant Scale ARF finer points
I RECENTLY BEGAN the assembly
process of my Thunder Tiger 40% Extra 260.
This is a well-built model and is one of the
best “almost-ready-to-flys” I have seen thus
far. While building this airplane, I found a
few key areas that I would like to discuss,
since many of these steps are required by
most giant-scale ARFs on the market today.

As I am writing
this, winter has
finally come to an
end and the contest
season is quickly
approaching. As a
result, I’m going to
break this month’s
column into two
segments.
