you are looking for a simple stick and tissue model airplane to build, the _Flying Aces_ Super R.O.G. fits the bill. The fuselage is a stick like the (former) dime store Comet wind-up rubber band models, and the empennage components are built up from 1/16" square balsa. Interestingly, the wing ribs are made from thin bamboo strips that are bent to an airfoil shape, which results in a high lift undercambered cross-section. You can probably substitute medium to hard 1/16" square balsa if bamboo is not available. If you want to stick with the original construction, bamboo shish kebab or chop sticks are pretty cheap at Walmart. Covering is Jap tissue. The R.O.G.'s wingspan is about 16". DARPA AI-Equipped Jet Fighters for Dogfighting"DARPA's
mission to develop AI fighter jets has moved a step closer to take-off. The agency recently tested algorithms in two-on-one aerial combat simulations. The military research agency's algorithms took down an Air Force pilot in a virtual dogfight last year. In February, the Pentagon's 'mad science' unit tested how they'd perform as a team. The battle pitted two friendly F-16s against a single enemy aircraft. Each fighter jet was equipped with a gun for short-range engagements and a missile for more distant targets. Colonel Dan 'Animal' Javorsek, program manager in DARPA's Strategic Technology Office, said testing multiple weapons..." The Great Electric Airplane RaceWebsite
visitor Kurt S. let me know about a PBS show entitled "The Great Electric Airplane Race,"
which first aired on May 26th. It covers a wide range of developments on electric aircraft - from early stages of development to models in or near the commercial production stage. Ingenuity and commitment amongst participants is amazing. The state of the art of electric motors and controllers has advanced significantly in the last two decades to the point where is seems there is not room for much more in that realm. Aircraft structures are necessarily incredibly lightweight and strong. The Achilles Heel of the effort is battery weight, bulk, and safety. Pointed out in the show is how a long distance airliner would require more than 100x the weight of jet fuel in equivalent batteries, and then they wouldn't fit. We (they, actually) will eventually get there, but some radically new type of energy storagewill be needed.
Model Aircraft Covering Weight Comparison When deciding which type of covering to apply to a model airplane structure, it would be helpful to have a table of covering material density for comparison. Here is such a table which shows, for instance, that 21st Century Fabric is the heaviest type of covering you can use. MicroLite covering is the lightest weight. Not shown are most doped or painted coverings because finished weights are so dependent on substrate type (silk, Silkspan, tissue, etc.), paint or dope type, and number/thickness of coats. To calculate the covering weight, multiply the density by the total surface area of your model... New Wave of e-Boats Taking to the SeasIs
this cool or what? Of course I'll never be able to afford one (maybe an R/C model someday, though). "Electric boats of all shapes and sizes are beginning to make a splash in the maritime sector. It's estimated that maritime greenhouse gas emissions account for around 2.5% of the global total, marginally ahead of the 2% that aviation contributes. If shipping were a country, it would be the sixth largest emitter of CO2 after China, the USA, India, Russia and Japan. International shipping - much like long-haul flight - will not be electrified any time soon, as the energy density of batteries simply cannot facilitate it. And for an industry that’s recently committed to halve its emissions by2050..."
Ready to Try Towline Gliding?In 1960
when this article appeared in _ American Modeler_ magazine, radio control (R/C) was still in its infancy and was a rich man's sport (mostly). R/C also required an amateur radio operator's license in order to use the transmitters. Control line and free flight constituted the purview of the vast majority of aeromodelers. Towlinegliders
were very popular in areas where enough open area was available - and back then there was a whole lot more open area than there is today. Take a look at the backgrounds of photos and movies in the 60's and before and notice how relatively undeveloped the land was, even around larger metro regions. Anyway, this article offers sage advice to modelers considering getting into towline gliders. Many kits were available in the day... Ingenuity Helicopter "Muscles Through" Glitch on 6th Flight"NASA's
Ingenuity helicopter safely landed after wobbling, suffering power spikes, and enduring velocity fluctuations on its sixth flight at Mars, officials said Wednesday. The helicopter took off May 22 on its sixth automated flight and completed the first leg of a planned 705-foot excursion without a hitch. But Ingenuity started tilting back and forth in an oscillating pattern, encountering roll and pitch excursions of more than 20 degrees, registering large control inputs, and suffered spikes in power consumption, according to Havard Grip, the helicopter's chief pilot at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Ingenuity overcame the glitch, which engineers traced..." Hobby Shack Spirit of 76 Glider KitThis "Spirit of 76
" glider from Hobby Shack was another of the models I always planned to buy someday, but never got around to it. Hobby Shack is long gone now, and finding one of these vintage kits is nearly impossible. Now, as then, my funds limit what I can justify buying (and a 920 sq.ft. house limits storage), so I didn't bid on this "Spirit of 76" that showed up a few months ago. This model is particularly memorable since it is named the same as the theme for my Southern Senior High School graduating class yearbook for 1976. The photos presented here were downloaded from an eBay sale. They typically sell in the $75 to $150 price range when in good condition and all the parts are included... May 26th Supermoon Total EclipseA
total lunar eclipse
will happen on May 26th, but I won't be able to see it from my vantage point in Erie, PA. It will coincide whit when the moon is near its closest approach to Earth, so it will appear very large, aka a "supermoon." While the supermoon is usually a good thing for those wishing to view the surface features, it makes for a lousy eclipse because it is in the Earth's shadow (the umbra) for a shorter period of time, making totality shorter - in this case a mere 15 minutes. Oh well, maybe you will get to see it. The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st centuryhas already
occurred, on 7/27/2018 (1h42m57s), and the shortest was 4/4/2015(4m43s).
The Gravity Plane
I
purchased a couple batches of vintage _Popular Electronics_ magazines off of eBay for use on my engineering website, RF Cafe; however, upon scanning through the pages I was pleasantly surprised to find that many articles on radio controlled airplaneswere
included. The 1950s and 1960s were relatively early in the R/C sport, and such things were still considered a novelty. Of course, today the toy shelves of even Walmart are full of R/C products. Kids today take them for granted... as I suppose my generation took for granted Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. Anyway, I have begun scanning and OCRing (Optical Character Recognition) some of the articles and posting them here on AirplanesAndRockets.com. This first _Popular Electronics_, from the December 1954 edition, was written by none other than Bill Winter... The "Scotch Monoped" - Article & PlansHere
is a fairly unique free flight rubber model named the "Scotch Monoped"
partly due to its having a single wheel and partly due to its designer being of Scottish heritage. It is of simple stick and tissue construction, and full-sized planes were published in the December 1939 issue of Flying Aces magazine. "Scotty" Mayors says he made it inherently stable under all conditions by providing lots of side area in the fuselage and dual vertical fins. The airfoil is a rather thick flat-bottomed section. A look at the open framework reveals that minimum weight was a goal, since even the wing ribs have lightening holes cut in them. I forgot to scan the wing plan sheet...

as a package deal at a bargain price. The video shows the heli and radio in use just prior to packing everything into the original boxes. I promise you it is in excellent condition and ready to fly. The helicopter has never had a crack-up and has always been flown with the training gear, so the even the rotor blades are excellent. I have put about 75−100 flights on it using the two 800 mAh LiPos. Here is more info and a flight video... Balsa Weight for Various Densities This information appeared in a 1970s era Sig Manufacturing catalog that I had as a teenager. Sig also had an extensive article on balsa tree foresting and harvesting. They are as useful today as it was many moons ago. Also, Al and Rod Clark created a very nice set of graphs that plot balsa density versus weight for wide variety of balsa sheet thickness, width, and length combinations. There is also a brief discussion on balsa grain (A, B, and C) and how it affects the wood's characteristics. It is hosted on the AMA's website. Balsa is one of the lightest woods available, and in many respects has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any wood - even oak. The chart at the right gives a comparison of a few familiar wood types... Aeronca Model L Series Article & 4-ViewLow-wing airplanes
had not quite caught on with the flying public prior to World War II, so Aeronca had an uphill battle in gaining acceptance of its "Model-L" series of planes. It ended up being a complete success. The article has an interesting tale of salvaging partially-complete airplanes during a flood in Cincinnati in 1937 using techniques that would never be allowed in today's highly regulated and monitored world. Interestingly website visitor Glen M. sent me a photo of an AeroncaLC on floats -
the "LCS" model the author of this _American Aircraft Modeler_ article suggests might have never been built. To be fair, finding obscure information was a lot more difficult in 1969, long before the Internet put petabytes of data at everyone's fingertips... Sterling Cirrus Sailplane Kit Back in the early to mid 1970s, I built a Sterling Cirrus Sailplane kit. Shortly thereafter I bought my first radio control system (a used 3-channel OS Digitron set), and in a somewhat desperate attempt to fly an RC glider, actually managed to crammed two of its huge servos, a huge metal-cased receiver, and a NiCad airborne battery pack (the only part that has not gotten smaller in the intervening 40 years) into the cockpit area. Although the cockpit was very spacious, the balsa frame construction was way too weak to support a radio system, but that didn't stop me... well, not right away anyway. The ready-to-fly weight was probably three times the recommended 12 ounce nominal. Although the Cirrus has a generous 87-5/16" wingspan, with it 25:1 aspect ratio, the root chord is only a little over 4" and the wingtip chordis around 1"...
