New Album in Gallery:

"The Boneyard"

Gone, but not forgotten

There is a new addition to the website gallery called the Boneyard. The album will have pictures of planes that lost the battle with gravity. Some may be rebuilt to fly another day, but most have there carcasses picked clean of any useful hardware and then get tossed in the trash.

So if you have any crash pictures that you would like to post on the website, please send them to me with a little discription of what kind of plane it was, and what happened. Maybe we can even learn from other peoples mistakes.

Thanks,

Corey

Matt Chapman Eagle 580 ARF 50
The Eagle 580 accelerated quickly down the runway and with a slight tug on the elevator it was airborne. It didn\'t take long to figure out that this was one smooth machine.

Extreme Flight Championships- XFC 2009
Frank Tiano may have coined his event "Top Gun", but if you want to see the best of the best dueling it out for serious cash, the Futaba Extreme Flight Championships (XFC) is the place to be. The XFC takes place at the premier venue in the country,...

Top Gun 2009
Top Gun is as much a Social Event as a model contest. With 70 to 80 contestants, there is a lot of work that goes on to make the event come off, or appear to come off, smoothly. There are 20 paid Judges, a Score Keeper, and huge club involvement, thi...

The new Ultimate 40 performance biplane from The Wings Maker is now available on-line. It is made from top quality balsa and plywood construction and comes with all hardware and accessories. The built-up upper and lower one-piece wings comes with pre...

Ember 2
For indoor micro flying the ParkZone is hard to beat for straight out of the box fun, and the Ember 2 is a perfect example of that. For a very reasonable price the Ember 2 will reward the pilot with flying sessions that will have a smile permanently ...

Piper J-3 Clipped Wing Cub
I\'ll be converting this model to clean and quiet electric power. It is similar in appearance and covering scheme of my World Models 1/3 Scale Clipped Wing Cub, but essentially half the size or 1/6 scale.

Extra 300SP
Great Planes introduces the Extra 300 SP in smaller form, which can be flown with Electric or Glow power and includes an Expertly covered airframe in Monokote covering, 2 piece wing and lightweight built up structure.

1/8 Scale Aeronca 7AC Champion ARF
Having been a giant scale modeler for more than 20 years, it came time to try one of these new-fangled electric powered smaller planes. I had the opportunity to choose the Pilot-1 1/8 Scale Aeronca Champ, distributed by Hobby Lobby.

YAK 54 89
Overall I think this is a great flying plane that will make any pilot happy whether you are planning on participating in IMAC, you love to 3D, or you just like burning holes in the sky. The scheme is extremely nice in person and really stands out in ...

Trainer 26
The bottom line on the AMR Trainer 26 is pretty straightforward. It is a relatively easy kit to assemble.
