  • Works on “Eagle Mk. I Sailplane” have started yesterday

    3.3.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft, Workshop No Responses


    While still waiting for the light kit of the Curtiss Robin from BELAIR KITS to be delivered, I chose Eagle Mk. I sailplane from HEARN’S HOBBIES to be built in the next 20 days.

  • Galaxie and Saturn both come from the same universe

    13.2.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    One of the kindest reactions to a previously published article came from my friend Jaromir P. Our friendship lasts at least ten years and he still surprises me even in case I least expect it.

  • Two new ships are going to be built for an upcoming season – Saturn glider and Curtiss Robin

    9.2.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    Although days are still being cold, short, and not suitable for our beloved hobby, it is the best time to fix or repair our models or even better, to build a new one to make some addition to our hangar and of course to come up with a new ship for an upcoming season.

  • ALFA SPORT with Tundra wheels is another design by Jaromir Pipek

    29.1.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    Subzero temperatures, rain and snow, short days, and continuous dark. These are the current conditions in the northern hemisphere.

  • Old lady lives again and now for SAM CRC-Open contest

    20.1.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft, Workshop No Responses


    I would like to start this post with a simple question: what do you usually do with models which you consider to be at the end of their “service”? Some modelers throw them into the trash, build the new again, some of them burn crashed models or keep them displayed at their “hangars”.

  • Two “unknown” models are identified

    8.1.2021 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    Two (at least to me) unknown rubber powered models, as we stated in the last article about the Antique meeting in MG Bern last September, became identified. Identification has been provided by the builder/owner of these models, Peter Z. from MG Bern.

  • Evening breeze

    19.6.2020 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    It has been almost three weeks of continual rain except for today. I grabbed ESSO Nr.2, bungee launch set, drone, and head to the airfield nearby to test and practice launch by 80/20 bungee.

  • ESSO – Swiss glider by Arnold Degen (maiden flight)

    24.3.2019 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft, Workshop No Responses


    It has been quite a while ago we brought a short building report. I built two ESSO models since that time and now it is high time to get one of this glider in the air.

  • Sunspot by Roy Yeabsley

    29.10.2017 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    You can build it in just over a week and the total outlay is only a fraction of that needed for a petrol model. The ultra-light wing loading (weight is only 2,75 lbs.) rules out major crackups due to high-speed contact with cars and other obstacles on the deck. Exceptional stability enables you to keep flying when other jobs are grounded by rough weather.

  • Contest Gas Model by Frank Ehling

    30.4.2017 // Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft No Responses


    A gas model must be fundamentally sound in design and construction to withstand the wear and tear of flying. The fact that this model is recommended by Frank Ehling, its designer and builder, is proof that it fulfills this foremost requirement.
