The Big Model Plane Story 

This is a story about the construction of a large model aircraft for which the major components are being  purchased with a bottle of beer.--

The plane is to be powered by a whipper snipper motor, ( the first bottle of beer purchase), and the two and a half metre span foam core wings were purchased with the second bottle of beer.

The challenge is to get the whipper snipper motor to perform well enough to power the model with a video camera strapped on board. The model which is yet to be named, is under construction at this time and  all important details will be shown on the video.  
 

Tail Wheel Techniques

This production is designed to explain the difference in handling characteristics between tail wheel and nose wheel aircraft.

In Australia we have two models of the same aircraft, the Skyfox with it's tail wheel, and a nose wheel version, named the Gazelle. The Gazelle is quite easy to land but the Skyfox is quite a different story. The ground handling of these two aircraft clearly demonstrates the difference between the two categories. This video should be of great value to those wanting to better understand tail wheel aircraft.

This space will be updated when more information is available.
