Welcome to The Club

One of the important tasks you need to do correctly while building a giant scale airplane is to produce a smooth and flowing outer surface to apply your finish and paint too. There’s an old saying that a fair paint job applied to a superior surface will look much better than a great paint job applied to an inferior surface.

Here’s a great workshop technique from editor Gerry Yarrish’s workshop.  Today,painting your model airplane with “rattle can” spray paint is a less expensive alternative than using an air compressor and an automotive touch-up gun rig.  Spray paint is a convenient and simple way to finish those formed parts, but unless you take the time to prepare them, your new paint job can peel or chip away after only a few flights. Here’s a surefire way to achieve a long-lasting, attractive paint job with a minimum of effort.

Regardless of the type of airplane you fly, whether it’s a warbird, an EDF jet of a Piper Cub, nearly all aerobatic maneuvers involve some inverted flight. So to keep improving your flight skills, you need to develop proficiency with inverted flight

Below is a list of aviation based calculators, conversion charts and converter programs available for use. Some of these are directly related to the aviation community and some are of indirect interest

People have all types of hobbies to occupy their free time. Hobbies provide enjoyment for those who simply want to unwind from the daily routine of going to work, coming home, and then gointo sleep. Hobbyists may take on any number of projects, such as crocheting, woodworking,   Aircraft design range from gliders to scale models. Some hobbyists may design their model aircraft to actually fly. All of this requires time, effort, and patience to obtain a rewarding experience. 

  Larger electric RC helicopters are power hungry monsters; some generating over 10HP at the rotor shaft! If you can keep your LiPo's happy in a big heli, you can keep them happy in just about anything.

Night flying is a great recruiting tool for your local flying group.  Several of our club found us when we were night flying.  We have also noticed that the women love to watch us flying at night and are much more impressed with RC at night than when we are flying the same planes in the day.  We have heard may wives tell their husbands that he should get one of these.
