Building and Flying Model Airplanes
Model airplane enthusiasts unite on this website!
Building model airplanes is fun and educational. Models can be built from kits
or pattern designs, and can be scaled to fit certain sizes.
Flying model airplanes is fun and it’s rewarding to see your craft fly.
Model Airplane Building is also educational because it teaches the builder how to properly
weight the aircraft so that it flies level without being nose or tail heavy.
Model builders typically weight their aircraft with a little putty strategically placed
so that the model airplane flies in a circle and returns to the builder when the engine runs out of fuel.
For Don Butman and all Airplane Modelers, the enthusiasm all started with Model Airplanes!
