aboutENGINES:
"Baby TOC" flashed through our minds when we first laid eyes on YW
Engines' ultralight and silky smooth 48cc Boxer. The throaty and
exhilarating rasp of the exhaust is the perfect complement to a
78-84" span aerobat and will raise the hairs on the back of your
neck! Never dropping a cylinder like a glo-twin, the superb
reliability of a gasser is perfect for scale models. Weighing just
51oz bare (67 oz loaded - a mere 7 ounces more than a G-23), the
jugs of this splendid engine poking from the cowl of a 132" Cub
look simply marvelous!
workBENCH:
Sporting a fabulous MonoKote job, Great Planes' Christen Eagle II
is a smooth and agile performer in the hands of an expert pilot.
The 29% scale bipe is a solid and honest-flying example of one of
sport aviation's most famous designs.
flightLINE: Held in
late August since 1981, the gently rolling plains of North Dakota
are the backdrop to The International. This fun event draws pilots
from around the nation and Canada!
flightTEST: The 138" wingspan Stenhouse B-17 takes to the
skies after two years of construction. Powered by four OS Max 70
Surpass 4-strokes, Robart retracts handle its 45 lb weight with
aplomb!
ROT8: Available for less than 300 bucks, and featuring super
inexpensive repair parts, the sporty Tiger 50 from
audacitymodels.com is a real hotrod!
