Radio Control Giants - 2007/1-

THE MAJOR TOPIC of conversation at
the local flying field lately has been 2.4
GHz and spread spectrum. The latest in RC
technology began hitting the shelf
approximately a year ago. First used in
conjunction with the smaller park flyer-type
models, AMA has approved this technology
for any size of AMA-legal RC model.

The Cellpro Multi4 Charger
WELCOME BACK
to the RC Giants
column. The use of
radio-control systems
in flying models began
in earnest in the 1950s.
Yes, I know that there
were systems before,
but that was when
single-channel systems
became increasingly popular with modelers. Consequently, we
have the birth of the onboard receiver battery pack.

THE BALSA USA 1/4-scale Spad 13 is
complete—except for the pilot figure—and is
ready for flight. I included a couple photos of
Lou Cetrangelo’s (Saint James, New York)
beautifully finished airplane. It is modeled after
Second Lieutenant Frank Luke Jr.’s S.15202 27th
Aero Squadron Spad XIII from September 1918.

WRAM Show 2010
WELCOME BACK to the RC Giants column. Winter is here, and we
Northerners are in the midst of another building season. Those living in
the warmer southern climates are fortunate to be able to fly all year.
However, that translates into less building and, consequently, inferior
Giant Scale models.
