THE INSIDE LOOP
CHOOSE DEREK MICKO’S NEXT
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
By Jay Smith, Executive Editor | jays@modelaircraft.org
IN THIS ISSUE, Derek Micko brings us another construction article, the Dornier Do 335. While discussing this project with him, I suggested that we let readers determine the next aircraft that he designs and builds, and he excitedly agreed.
Derek selected eight different aircraft from which to choose. Take a look at the sidebar in his “Build the Dornier Do 335 Park Flyer” article, select your favorite, and let me know via email. The aircraft with the most votes will be selected. Will it be the popular Corsair or a seldom-modeled aircraft, such as the Bolton Paul Defiant? You decide!
Turbine Jets
Turbine jets are an exciting part of our hobby and draw a lot of interest at events that I attend. Although they do tend to be on the more expensive side of the hobby, they have become more affordable, depending on what you are interested in.
Questions often arise concerning what is required to set up a turbine-powered aircraft. Jonathan Vogt, from The Lighter Side of RC YouTube channel, has built and set up many—not only for himself, but also for customers. I asked him to write an article about setting up turbine aircraft for this issue starting on page 26. He has also provided a video to complement the article. I recommend everyone who is interested in this part of the hobby to take a look.
