RC Scratch Building – Fiberglass Fuselage Without a Mold
This video outlines the process I used to fabricate the fuselage for my 1/4 scale Pitts Challenger III.
The process involves making a simplified plug and laying the final, airworthy fuselage directly on that plug. This saves considerable time over building a detailed plug and pulling a complex mold from it. There are advantages to that method, but for models that you only want to build 1 or 2 of this alternate method can save you a lot of time.

MIA Ultralight RC Helicopter – Scratch Built – Home Made – Home Built – DIY – Take 6
www.micro-flight.com MIA Ultralight RC Electric Helicopter one of several flights to test the control and feel of this realisitic looking and flying model. The video also demostrates some of the smooth characteristics, in a more open space, of this home brewed large MIA RC simple FP ultralight helicopter. No other RC helicopter I’ve bought, simple or complex, larger or small is giving me this much enjoyment! The helicopter has a totally different feel than any other helicopter I’ve flown over the past 20 some years of being involved in the RC helicopter hobby, a nice welcoming for a change. Most people that know me know MIA associated with really tiny helicopters, but I love larger ones also, but they have to be different otherwise what is the point!. This design is rather unique in the sense that most RC helicopters on the market are set up for 3D flying, many of them are complex in mechanics which is required if you fly 3D, but many people, like myself, enjoy the more scale and unique look. In the many years of designing RC helis, autogyros and airplanes, I have often found a dissastisfaction with many companies that do the same typical models over and over. So what is someone like me to do? I get bored easily with the same products that everyone else sells so I make my own from time to time. This helicopter flies simply AWESOME! , and needs just some small aesthetical refinements which I am working on for the next video. I am also thinking hard on working on a KIT for …
