David Hobbs, Shawnee, KS SCRATCH-BUILT PROFILE David designed and built this profile fun fly—a truly unique model in that all of its control surfaces are of the pull/pull variety, including the ailerons. Powered by an O.S. .46 FX engine and controlled by a Hitec radio, David's profile plane has a 42-inch wingspan and weighs about 5 pounds. Four hatches on the top of the wing provide access to the aileron servo and radio equipment, and David built tunnels into the fuselage from the servos to the radio compartment to accommodate the servo electrical leads. The plane is covered in maroon and white MonoKote, and according to David, it flies very well with good characteristics at both low and high speeds.

One would certainly be hard pressed to distinguish his work from that of an experienced kit modeler. Antonio's Bonanza is constructed of balsa and plywood and covered with Oracover. Powered by a Magnum XL .912-stroke engine, the model features ABS plastic on the cowl, cabin and interior and is equipped with flaps and Robart pneumatic retracts. It's controlled by a Futaba 8-channel radio with 9 servos. 4 ARTICULATED 1/5 Scale Collectiable JUNE 2002 27
your guid d engines •the staff of 'Model Airplane News o other type of RC airplane is more closely linked to the origins of the hobby than V2A models. These planes grew directly out of freeflight and control-line models, and they were among the first to exploit remote control. For many modelers, V2A was their first exposure to the sbby, and it remains among the most popular model sizes even today. Why has V2A endured so successfully? To begin with, these planes are among the simplest, most enjoyable sport models to build. They are small and light, so they go together easily and fly beautifully. The advent of CAD plans and laser-cut parts has only improved those characteristics; now, 1/2 A kits are easier than ever to build. Because these kits are small and are constructed using conventional materials, they are also extremely affordable. That makes them ideal for less-experienced builders—especially those who may have cut their teeth on electric backyard flyers and would like to try glow power. And because of their compact design and light weight, they can fly in smaller spaces than standard-size glow-powered models. To top it off, there are more 1/2 A kits (not to mention several ARFs) available than ever before, and their quality is first rate. We've assembled a list of more than 70 kits and ARFs that were designed for V2A engines with displacements of. 10ci or less. There's a wide variety to choose from, from profile-fuselage sport models and trainers to scale warbirds and gliders. Once you spot a kit you like, check out our engine chart to find just the right powerplant for it. And don't miss the helpful tips on nitro content and 1/2 A support equipment from our noted experts, Dave Gierke and Randy Randolph. When you consider the style, nostalgia, convenience and selection that 1/2 A has to offer, we're sure you're going to want to give it a try! S 28 MODEL AIRPLANE NEWS Model* like this Slg Mfg.
