Top Gun 2004 - 2004/09

IF THEY CARRY on for several years,
Scale contests and events usually change and
improve. The Top Gun Invitational
Tournament started in 1989 at a regional field
in Florida. It was moved to Mesa, Arizona,
the next year, and it arrived at the polo club at
West Palm Beach, Florida, the following year
and stayed until 2001.

Radio Control Scale - 2009/11

I’VE hIt a wall with my flying this year. Not long ago, I went
to the field and realized, after ditching two airplanes, that I was
so out of practice from working so much
(you know, that thing you have to do so you
can fly) that I had lost some depth
perception.
Now it’s back to making sure I go to the
field at least three times a week and getting
myself back together. It seems like most of
us are either working more than we want or
having a devil of a time finding a job, much
less a career.

FINDING THE RIGHT “stuff” for that
Scale model is one of the big sticking
points for many of us as we are building
an airplane. Ruben Nolf was looking for a
Seidel radial engine for his Boeing
Stearman biplane. I mentioned it in one of
the previous columns, and he ended up
obtaining one of the scale jewels. He

RADIO CONTROL SCALE - 2004/10

LAST MONTH I covered some of the manufacturers’ kits and ARFs
at the Toledo R/C Expo in Toledo, Ohio, in April. There are always so
many great Scale models at Toledo in static competition, and this
month I’ll take a look at those. Many designers and Sport Scale
competitors bring their new aircraft to Toledo for static competition.
What better way to show off a new design or a new project than to
bring it to a trade show and compete with it?
