Paint stripping: In my January “RC Aerobatics” 2013 column, I wrote about the virtues of waterborne paint. I wasn’t happy with the results of painting my Black Magic with Auto Air paint.

F3A World Championships: Congratulations to Team USA—Andrew Jesky, Jason Shulman, Brett Wickizer, Joseph Szczur, and team manager Mark Atwood—for its first-place team finish in the 2013 World Championship in South Africa.
RC AEROBATICS 2013/07 There is a very thin line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
Since last year’s National
Society of Radio Controlled
Aerobatics (NSRCA) District 8
championships, I have sold one used
tent and bought three. My pursuit of
the ultimate “contest tent” continues.
Typical nighttime temperatures in
the inland Northwest are signifi cantly
lower than afternoon highs, making
for comfortable sleeping, even on the
hottest days of summer. Even expensive
tents generally cost less than a weekend
hotel stay.
RC Aerobatics - 2013/03
Practicing during the winter. The way I beat cabin fever is to get out and fly. My Baby-O (47-inch Osiris) was bought specifically for winter flying. Arriving at the field with charged batteries and a fully assembled airplane is a time saver.
