TEST Specs

The Model Aircraft that were tested using the ScaleMaster

            All of the planes used were built quickly and were not contest finished.  They only had a basic base color coat, and were built for test purposes, not contests.  It should also be noted that they were built on the heavy side and in most cases were out of the weight range listed on the kits.  This is partially due to the added functions and because we did additional modifications to wing spars, etc. for added strength. Building light is still the key to stable flying.  Make sure that your wing spars and all operations have doublers for re-enforcement.  There are ways and materials available to keep the weight of the model down and also do the needed modifications.  Your local hobby shop can help you with materials and technique, or you can always write to us for suggestions.

In all operational flight, except Stunt, pilots flew the aircraft with both hands on the handle. Safety Thongs were used, by looping Nylon Parachute Cord, through the hand grip and then looped around the right hand, in the same manner as you would for a GS or JR 3 line handle.

Stunt operations were limited to a maximum of 4 continuous loops, to avoid excessive line twisting.  Retracting the gear gave a notably smoother performance inverted, t
