SCALE RUBBER
The Ultimate in Modeling
by Andrew Tickle |
| The large propellers need a leggy landing gear
(see planes below), and the slow flying speeds require a
large dove-like dihedral.
Once you allow mentally for this, you can really enjoy the sight of a scale rubber model climbing realistically, in wide slow circles. It will always distract you completely from the RC models on the field. |
