  • 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.

  • 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”.

  • How to check the ignition (spark) coil

    28.12.2020 // 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 – interesting points found during building

    23.5.2019 // Stanley J. Stembera // Workshop No Responses


    For those who are thinking about to build this famous glider, here are some points that could be taken into account.

  • 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.

  • Phantom – the sailing boat

    14.7.2017 // Stanley J. Stembera // Boats, Workshop No Responses


    Like many others even I was dreaming about the nice summer days spent by the lake. Would it not be nice to try an RC sailing boat too? Undoubtedly, so let’s find the most perfect, best fit or simply “The boat”.

  • Weekend project – Engine mount for Antares

    9.10.2016 // Stanley J. Stembera // Workshop No Responses


    Antares is a well-known racing model designed by Jaroslav Broz in 1942. It has a nicely shaped streamlined fuselage, elliptical wing sits above the fuselage on a pylon. Originally powered by the IPRO IKAR 6,3 ccm spark engine, but most modelers are using any suitable engine even glow or diesel.

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

    27.2.2016 // Stanley J. Stembera // Workshop No Responses


    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

    15.5.2015 // 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.
