The Toledo Show: R/C Model Expo
I have just returned from The Toledo Show: R/C Model Expo, which was held the first weekend of April at the Seagate Centre in Toledo, Ohio. During the three days, my colleagues and I traversed the aisles, spoke with manufacturers and distributors, and shot 27 videos highlighting some of the new products on display. If you haven’t already had a look, be sure to check out these videos at www.ModelAviation.com.
AMA’s Media and Publications staff had its own booth on the show floor dedicated to Model Aviation and Park Pilot magazines, and our show, AMA Air. Thank you to everyone who visited the booth or stopped me in the aisles and took the time to speak with me during the show. I greatly appreciate your positive feedback!
DGA-3 Pete
Paul Kohlmann has designed another exciting model for the pages of Model Aviation, and just like his Miles M.20, we are giving away free plans as a digital download! So, if like Paul, you have some spare micro gear available, download the plans and construct your own DGA-3 Pete racer. After you have completed your model, be sure to send me a photo.
Errors in May 2016 Issue
In Don Stegall’s “Warbird Pylon Racing” feature, it was reported that RCPRO Warbird Racing would be run at this year’s Nats. This was not written by the author; the mistake happened during the editing process. The 2016 US Nats will not be run according to RCPRO rules. RCPRO rules do not utilize the wing area chart and they allow electric-powered aircraft. The 2016 Nats event will utilize the wing area chart and electric-powered Pylon Racers will not be permitted.
Also in the May issue, the captions for the two-tube receiver and the output meter in Bob Noll’s “Vintage Viewpoint” column were reversed. Model Aviation apologizes for any confusion these errors might have created.
