Sweet Paint Job!

Sweet Paint Job!

This beautiful paint scheme is based on a spaceship’s reentry–starting from the white hot point of the nose, through the changing flames colors then cascading back as if you were looking up into the sky and then into the stars. Duplicating the Hawker Hunter “Miss Demeanor,” the scheme was applied by Matt Bishop from Bishop […]
Oooohh that Moki sound!

Oooohh that Moki sound!

We love radial engines and this 50% Gee Bee racer with a huge Moki radial engine is incredible! Over a 12 foot wingspan the Moki 400cc is 5-cylinders and swings a 38-inch propeller.  
Scale cockpit how-to!

Scale cockpit how-to!

When you build a scale RC model airplane, everyone wants to take a look inside your model’s cockpit. Yet most casual modelers neglect this area, thinking it’s too much work or they don’t have the skills. This article will show how I go about building a scale cockpit in a way that makes all the […]
Easy ARF Scale Makeover

Easy ARF Scale Makeover

When I saw the yellow E-flite Stearman from Horizon Hobby, all I could think of was repainting it in the marking of my son Nick Jr.’s full-size Stearman. I knew that, because it was molded out of Z-Foam, this ARF remake would be fairly easy to accomplish. First off, the wings have the exact same […]
The Lighter Side of RC

The Lighter Side of RC

Check out this RC Snoopy Red Baron flying doghouse. Don’t miss the head turning, a nice touch. It looks to be built around a quadcopter, and it’s hard not to smile when you see Snoopy flying by with his scarf blowing in the wind. Thanks to a longtime MAN reader for sharing this super fun […]

Sometimes things go wrong mid-flight, it happens to the best of us. Check out this great video of a very good-looking scale Hawker Sea Fury having a landing gear malfunction and the super save at the end. Nice piloting, Reima!
From Triumph to Tragedy

From Triumph to Tragedy

MAN contributor Chris Wolfe, aka the “RC Geek” on YouTube, takes us on an emotional ride with his brand new B-58 Hustler. From the title, you can probably guess what happens on the maiden flight. But watch to the end to see how Chris tries to figure out what exactly went wrong. We’ve all been […]
Huge C-160 complete with RC tug!

Huge C-160 complete with RC tug!

One way to get attention on the flightline is to show up with a giant-scale C-160 and tow it onto the runway! Check out this fun video of this impressive beast. We were not able to confirm the wingspan and weight, but this is certainly a big boy. Any guesses on the specs?

Power on Demand: Build a Portable Charging Station!

A portable charging station is one of the most important pieces of equipment for anyone who flies electric aircraft, and while there are some nice commercial units on the market, I prefer something more compact and designed to my specs. Here, we’ll cover a simple procedure for installing an AC power supply, a charger, and […]
