You Will Love The Thrills Of Scale Aviation

By Sherry Gross


Having a fun hobby that offers a lot of excitement is very nice. Scale aviation has been around for many years and is getting more and more popular as time goes by. It is an expensive hobby but one that many will say is well worth it. The more experienced the controller the more opportunities there are to enter competitions. The prize money is also very generous and will give the winner an opportunity to purchase a new model.

This is a very expensive hobby but many will pay for the opportunity of join in the fun. Building one of these up from nothing is totally awesome and even better when you can show it off to all that are at your club. There are so many different kinds that one can build you will never get bored.

Many tried to analyze the atmosphere in the 17th century and this led to the discovery of hydrogen which then helped with the invention of the hydrogen balloon. The theory of mechanics and fluid dynamics led to the finding of modern aerodynamics. During the American Civil war these were used as observation posts during the Battle of Petersburg.

Mankind has wanted to fly from the very beginning. Men have been known to strap birdlike wings and any other device in an attempt to fly. Some have even jumped off high towers; many resulting in serious injuries as well as death. The earliest jump from a tower was in 852 AD when a man from Spain covered his body in feathers and attached wings made from wooden struts to his arms. His attempt was unsuccessful but he only received a few minor injuries as his fall was slowed.

In war time this life sized aircraft was capable of tracking, attacking targets and finding anything on the ground by itself or with the assistance of ground support. The more modern ones now have more defensive measures which include a missile approach warning system, radar warning receiver and chaff and flare dispensers. This make the thrill all the more realistic.

The handling of this plane is very responsive whether you are keeping the speed down or at it's fastest. An optional set of scale floats are sold separately. The engine is in the front of the model which enables it to take off on fields that are shorter than normal. This can be flown every day for more enjoyment.

In order to build your own model you need to decide if you want one that will fly as well as having one with or without a remote control. Finding someone who is familiar with these can give you some much needed advice. Many of these can be found at a model shop and come fully assembled or you can build it from scratch.

All of this won't do much good if you do not have the best glue for the project. There is a new one on the market called the Two Plus. It takes about 5 minutes to set and is resistant to fuel leakage. For that extra hardened effect leaving it for a few hours will guarantee it to be extremely hard and strong. It can be left on the shelf for a long time without the worry of it not setting. This is a hobby on its own and many are trying it out, which allows the to discover all the fun involved, for themselves.
