How to Start Flying Scale Model Airplanes

Almost or many RC airplane enthusiast dream of having their favorite full size replica to bore holes in the sky. But it will not be easy just to copy the exact dimension of the full size airplane and then scale it down to what ever you desire, like for example 1/8 scale, ¼ scale so forth and so on. Even though you know how to use CAD software to design and draw the airplane, without considering the aerodynamic principles, you won’t have a stable airplane. So this is the first step on how to fly scale model airplanes. It will be impossible to fly your scale model airplane without considering the aerodynamic design. Again, before you attempt to build & fly your very first scale model, you should have already build your skill to at least an intermediate level. Meaning, flying a non-scale shoulder wing design type of model airplane. Then choose the trainer type full-scale model airplane like the Cessna 150 or J3 Piper Cub.

At least those airplanes have a built-in stability design. The wings constant chord and rectangular (for J3 Piper Cub). High wing location, meaning the wings is above the fuselage, which have pendulum stability. Landing gear is tricycle type (for Cessna 150). But wait, does this mean the stability is the same when you scale down those airplanes? The answer is No. Those airplanes will fly terrible when you scale it down and copy the exact dimensions. Like what I’ve mentioned previously, the aerodynamic design should be considered. This phenomenon is known as ” The Scale Effect”. You can’t scale down the air molecules & the viscosity of air. The behavior will be different. The wing location & wing area, horizontal and vertical stabilizer area & location, airfoil design, plays a major role on its stability.

Redesigning the airplane is essential. The model has to be redesigned based on the lift and drag coefficients and Reynolds number on its miniature dimensions to achieve stability. This is why some Almost Ready to Fly, Ready to Fly or Kits have 30% or 40% scale specification. Meaning only 30% was copied from the full size airplane. Possibly the horizontal stabilizer area was modified or vertical stabilizer. Changed the airfoil type or wing area. In order to achieve stability. The closer its size to the full size airplane, the more you can copy the exact dimension and behavior. This is why ¼ scale model airplanes are popular to those really serious on RC airplane modeling. Considering the cost and set-up, danger to life and property, it will only be possible for those who were well to do. Imagine how many gallons of fuel it will consume! You will also need bigger flying field. Good thing that gas or petroleum engines (chainsaw engines) are fit to use in those monsters which reduces the cost of fuel. Unlike using methanol, castor oil and nitromethane for fuel on glow engines.

So before having any expectations on acquiring one, first consider those facts.

 Able Planet Clear Harmony Active Noise Cancelling Headphones


Able Planet Clear Harmony Active Noise Cancelling Headphones


$249


Able Planet made its mark in the portable audio field at the 2007 International CES trade show, where its Clear Harmony active noise-canceling headphones won an Innovations Design and Engineering award for high-performance audio. Since then, the Clear Harmony headphones have won wide acclaim from consumers and experts alike, who rave about the phones’ ability to eliminate almost all background noise while offering superior sound quality. Released in tandem with a pair of sibling models–the True Fidelity and Sound Clarity–the Clear Harmony headphones are ideal for everything from iPods to home stereos to portable DVD players, with full, rich sound that shuts out such extraneous sounds as airplane engines, bus motors, and background conversations. As the high-end model in Able Planet’s noise-canceling line, the Clear Harmony headphones offer slightly more sophisticated speaker components than the Sound Clarity and True Fidelity models. As a result, they’re the best choice of the three for audiophiles who value a robust bass performance and aren’t intimidated by the higher price tag. The Sound Clarity phones, by contrast, aren’t quite as bass intensive but still boast the same rich clarity and noise-reducing performance as the Clear Harmony headphones. Price-sensitive listeners or people with hearing aids, meanwhile, will likely find the True Fidelity headphones more to their liking. Not only does the True Fidelity model cost less, but it also emphasizes the upper and mid-range frequencies more than the other two, helping hard-of-hearing listeners better enjoy the full audio spectrum while they listen to music or news radio. Linx Audio Technology Although the speaker components differ, all three headphones share Able Planet’s patented Linx Audio technology. Originally developed for a new generation of top-of-the-line hearing aids, Linx Audio technology alters the audio signal to increase the intensity of higher-frequency harmonics.

 Aviation's Great Recruiter


Aviation’s Great Recruiter


$39.95


Son of Czechoslovakian immigrants, Edward T. Packard sold his first model airplane in Cleveland in 1919 at the age of thirteen, a simple Pushers Stick Model. Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight conquering the Atlantic galvanized the aviation industry and jumpstarted his business, Cleveland Model and Supply Company, which at that time offered an extensive line of all-balsa wood model airplanes authentically replicating the early prototypes. During World War II, Packard manufactured the most complete line of American, Allied, and foreign model airplanes, which led to a famous worldwide enterprise whose growth required the involvement of his parents and his four brothers and ultimately employed nearly one hundred people. As aircraft designs became more complex, so did Cleveland models. The popularity of these realistic miniatures and the insight many hobbyists gained through their construction played a major role in the rapid World War II aviation mobilization, because the U.S. Army Air Corps was able to enlist recruits with skills in the principles of flight and aviation. Author H. L. Schreiner’s collection of flying pulps and aviation publications served as the primary impetus for his comprehensive research. Included in this handsomely illustrated aviation history are photos and plans that originally accompanied the model kits and a never-before-published illustrated-plans index. Rare color photographs of Cleveland National Air Race aircraft and their daredevil pilots will be of interest to modelers, collectors, pilots, and aviation historians, who will find his book to be a significant addition to their libraries.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress or the so called Sentimental Journey is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed for the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC). The B-17 aircraft was manufactured by Boeing. It has eliminated its competitors and has met the Air Corps’ expectations to compete against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 airplanes. The Air Corps was impressed with the B-17s’ even though Boeing had lost the contract due to the prototype’s crash. This became the reason for the U.S. Army Air Corps to order 13 B-17s. The B-17 Flying Fortress was chosen as the first truly mass-produced large aircraft that participated in full-scale production. The aircraft has then evolved into various design upgrades which started from B-17A to G.On March 13, 1945, the B-17 Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey was accepted by the U.S. Army Air Corps. The aircraft was produced too late to provide service for the European war. Therefore, it was assigned to the Pacific theater until the end of the war. The aircraft was removed from safety in Japan and was assigned to be a photo-mapping airplane in Clark Field, Manila. The aircraft has flown to all areas of the Pacific for almost three years during the development of the RB-17G.

The Cessna Citation X is a medium-sized business jet aircraft built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. The X stands for the Roman numeral for 10 and not the letter. Powered by two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines, it is the world’s fastest operating passenger jet. This seven-person private plane can climb to 43,000 feet in just 30 minutes. It is equipped with an entertainment center and a vanity area for passengers.Despite Cessna’s long history of building business jets, the Citation X was a completely new aircraft in many ways. Its wing, tail, tail cone, gear and systems were designed from scratch, not based on pre-existing airplane. It was the first aircraft to use a Rolls-Royce engine and fully-integrated avionics. It also incorporates a number of innovative design features. The large diameter of the engine intakes reduces the noise from the engines and improves fuel efficiency. The highly swept wing with a supercritical airfoil increases the Mach number. The horizontal and vertical stabilizers are highly swept as well and are arranged in a T-tail configuration. The Citation X is equipped with controls that are powered by dual-hydraulic systems for redundancy.Cessna announced that it was developing the Citation X at the National Business Aviation Association Convention in New Orleans in October 1990. The prototype was publicly rolled out in September 1993 and flew for the first time on December 21 of the same year. The first customer delivery was in June 1996, to golfer and long-time Cessna customer Arnold Palmer. Once in use, the aircraft continued to set speed records. Arnold Palmer set one in September 1997, flying 473 knots on a 5,000 km closed course. In February 1997, the Citation X design team was awarded the National Aeronautic Association’s prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy. The 2,500th aircraft was delivered on September 10, 1997.

Due to several lack of interest and a number of accidents, though not reported to be fatal, had prevented more than three models from being built. On July 12, 1929, it was launched for its first test flight, wherein it broke the world record for the number of people aboard an airplane. On Novermber 3, 1930, the Do X took off from from Friedrichshafen, Germany, commencing a transatlantic test flight. On August 27, 1931, the aircraft went of north to the United States, reaching New York, wherein it spent the next nine months for its scheduled overhaul.The Do X had an all-duralumin hull, with wings made of a steel-reinforced duralumin framework covered in heavy linen fabric, covered with aluminum paint. Do X has a maximum speed of 211 km/h and a range of 1,700 km. It has a seating capacity of 66-100 passengers. Luxurious accommodation approached the standards of transatlantic airliners.The Do X was featured in Michael Murrcock’s alternate universe fiction, symbolizing power and style emblematic of the lost era of the 1930’s. It was also featured in the 1934 movie, The Perils of Pauline, wherein it featured historic footage of the Do X’s flight and in 1985 music video of the Alphaville pop group. Do X was also featured in an episode of Lupin III, Albatross: Wings of Death, wherein it depicted a twin-tail, having only five engines.
