Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / August 2005

Looking for recommendations for a GOOD ARF Corsair. Any suggestions will be
greatly apppreciated. Motor size can be .51 thru .75. Many thanks.

Ohio RC is dead and gone is it not?
Did anyone pick the kit line up?
I'm in need of wing kits and a set of the cabine struts.   Mine are a bit,
well OK, a lot bent!  :(   The fuse, at first glance, looks not to bad.

Yes, there are still a few of us old timers out here that build from
scratch.
Post what you have and I'll bet you can get some replies.  I'm always

about 20 feet away. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but any ideas?

can say is WOW. Its maiden flight was in winds of 10-15 knots or so and
it flew great!! No problem handling the wind at all. It isn't very

and I'm looking for the manual.  The manufacturer (Kavan) doesn't
appear to be around anymore.

In the latest issue of Model Aviation Mr. Brown states the following:
"We have some ideas about how to approach this problem, but it will
take time. In the meantime, it would be helpful if the aeromodeling
community were to lay low on this subject. The last thing we need is

The letters keep saying they will not contact me again if I do nothing.
What a crock.
3rd letter arrived this afternoon.
They just might not receive my $58 renewal fee come this December...

Hi,Ho
My father passed away several years ago but I just now ran across quite
a few model plans.  I have not gone thru all of yet.  My question is do
RC'ers still build from scratch or is it all kit building now a days??

Is this important to have or will I be ok to fly w/o it, I don't frequent
areas with other flyers in them.

I'm fuel-proofing the styrofoam wing for my Duraplane-40 using epoxy.
Geez what a long process. Takes overnight to dry, sand at least the
edges, then do the other side.
Plastic iron-on film is quicker but it eventually pulls off at the
