Russian Bear - 2003/09
George Maiorana brought a new airplane to the Weak Signals’
Toledo Show and to Top Gun this year. It is a model of an aircraft I
haven’t seen before, but it looks familiar. Before static judging at
Top Gun, George was still adding parts to the aircraft. Talk about
waiting until the last minute!
Top Gun 2003/09
In its second year at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in
Lakeland, Florida—the same site as the Experimental
Aircraft Association’s Sun ’n Fun full-scale fly-in—Top
Gun was held April 23-27. Sun ’n Fun was held a few
weeks earlier, with all kinds of great subjects for Scale
modelers. Just off of runway 9, the Florida Air Museum
offers year-round access to modeling subjects and homebuilt
aircraft.
Radio Control Scale - 2008/07
BY THE TIME you read this, many will be geared up for the AMA
Nationals, which is the largest competitive modeling event in the
world. RC Scale plays a part in this event each year, with both RC
and CL classes held at AMA’s International Aeromodeling Center in
Muncie, Indiana. This year the events will be contested August 8-10.
If you are a newer reader you might ask, “Why Muncie, Indiana,
of all places?” Before the property where AMA Headquarters now
resides was purchased, a study was conducted. The results showed
that the largest percentage of AMA members lived within a 500-
mile radius of this
general area, and to
my knowledge they
still do.
Radio Control Scale-2010/08
SELECTING A distinctive color scheme for any
Scale model can be a challenge, and the older the
airplane, the more challenging the project can be.
But that can also be a lot of the fun.

HOW MANY of you have downloaded the
new AMA Scale rules and regulations? It’s a
great resource for learning different types of
model competition in which you might be
interested, as well as learning more about
flight maneuvers, static judging, and
documentation
