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.

Old lady lives again and now for SAM CRC-Open contest
// 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”.

How to check the ignition (spark) coil
// Stanley J. Stembera // Workshop No Responses
The ignition coil is one of the most important elements in the ignition circuitry. Although this device is quite simple there are only a few resources written about its functionality checks. My friend Frantisek has posted a short article about how to do this by using just a multimeter.

ESSO – Swiss glider by Arnold Degen (building the fuselage)

The famous Swiss vintage glider known as ESSO was designed by Arnold Degen in 1943 as a promotional model for the European branch of Exxon. I have chosen this model as another vintage project for incoming season which is close and will be actual in a few weeks sometime.

Tlush Super Ace – provozní zkušenosti
// Jaromír Pipek // Engines, Workshop No Responses
Stan Stembera vlastní tento motor ve své sbírce – je to kus vyrobený v roce 1973 z těch částečně originálních dílů, výrobní číslo má 34 – a protože mi bylo umožněno provést i praktické zkoušky tohoto zajímavého motoru, tak jsem se rozhodl o některých jeho technických detailech a nahazování tohoto unikátu napsat také pár řádek.
