	Model aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flying models borrow construction techniques from vintage full-sized aircraft (although models rarely use metal structures.) These might consist of forming the frame of the model using thin strips of light wood such as balsa, then covering it with fabric and subsequently doping the fabric to form a light and sturdy frame which is also airtight.
		Model gliders are usually hand-launched or catapult-launched (using an elastic bungee.) The newer "discus" style of wingtip handlaunching has largely supplanted the earlier "javelin" type of launch.
		As with a powered aircraft, lift is obtained by the action of the wings as the aircraft moves through the air, but in a glider, height can only be gained by flying through air that is rising faster than the aircraft is sinking relative to the airflow.

	Talk:Model aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I also moved the model aerodynamics to a separate page altogether since it is necessary for both topics and it is really a topic by itself.
		I believe people looking for "model aircraft" will often have an interest in in powered and RC models, but the hobbies are quite different.
		I guess the section on model aircraft power could be a separate article, but at this stage I think it's better left as part of this one.

	Model Aircraft Glossary
		A radar system installed in an aircraft that is used to detect the presence of aircraft, missiles, warships, etc entering a specified area.
		On some aircraft the air brakes are used in conjunction with the ailerons for lateral control at low speeds where the ailerons become ineffective.
		A system used in free-flight models either to keep the rudder of a glider straight during tow and then automatically to set the glide turn on release, or, on rubber- and power-driven aircraft, to alter the rudder setting in flight, usually to re-trim from power to glide.

		Almost 30 years ago, a fellow modeler named Bob Miller introduced me to the concept of using corrugated cardboard as a model building material.
		Modelers often see one of my latest cardboard design articles and write me to ask if there are plans available for other cardboard designs as well.
		The models shown are simple in construction and inexpensive, as they use 1/8" corrugated cardboard as the primary building material.

	Model Aircraft Building Perceptions
		Contemporary photos, mostly fl and white, show the aircraft in its actuality, that is, in its historical environment, softened by flat paint scuffed with use or on muddy fields cloaked in wisps of fog and impending smoke and surrounded by grim and frightened youth, some smiling bravely.
		I once restored a beautiful little model of a Stuka dive bomber built by a German POW in Canada who used a colored paste of sawdust filled into marking details relieved in the birch of the model.
		German model makers produced lines of large wood model aircraft and very well detailed tanks for their armed forces and some of the company presentation models that survive are exceptional works.

	Deeside Model Aircraft Club: Home Page
		The Deeside Model Aircraft Club (DMAC) was originally founded as the Heswall MAC in September 1950, making it one of the Wirral's longest established clubs.
		In 2003 it was decided to change the name of the club to the Deeside MAC in order more accurately to indicate the location of its present flying site on the north bank of the River Dee, some 6 miles south of the town of Heswall after which the Club was originally named.
		Interest in radio-control is very broad-based with sports, scale, fun-fly, aerobatic and ducted-fan models all being flown regularly, and the occasional pylon racer or "oddball" model thrown in for good measure.

		Diesel model airplane engines offer the advantage of higher torque which allows them to swing a larger prop (at a lower RPM, however.) Diesels produce higher torque than comparable size glow engines.
		Gasoline model airplane engines are 2 stroke engines that use a mixture of gasoline and oil (usually a ratio of 30-60 parts gas to 1 part oil.) Coleman fuel is primarily naphtha and doesn't smell like gasoline.
