Brian Deis, president of Dream RC Airplanes, came to a crossroads about 10 years ago. He and his company had a knack for building wooden models for use in International Miniature Aerobatics Club (IMAC) competitions. He himself had built and flown wooden models for much of his life. But the market had rapidly shifted toward …

Gunter Zielke created the first integrated smoke system for an EDF jet with support from Schübeler Technologies. Electric motors are increasingly being used in aeromodelling projects to achieve a more realistic sound, feel and flight. In order to achieve the same accurate effects as conventional combustion models, ingenuity and extensive technical know-how are required. Gunter …

Model airplanes conjure up plenty of “standard” imagery – putting them together, adding a little glue, and heading to the park to see how she flies. But there’s so much more to the world of jet aeromodelling, and now may be the perfect time to get started in this rewarding pursuit. Through the lens of …
