EXTRA 300L

Todd is pretty proud of his brother's plane—as well he should be. Thanks to Todd

for sending in the photo, and kudos to his brother, Trent, on that incredible air-

brushed paint job. This 37-percent-scale Aeroworks Extra 300L has a 116-inch

wingspan and is equipped with a T.M.E smoke system. A model of this size requires

a lot of power, and according to Todd, the 18hp 3W engine definitely does the trick.

With more than 11 servos providing control, 3D maneuvers are certainly not a

problem for this aerobat. Trent has flown his plane more than 75 times.

Z-137 AGRO TURBO

Our thanks to Harley for taking the time to send us photos of his

homebuilt beauty. The design caught Harley's attention when it

appeared in Model Airplane News' "Planes Worth Modeling" fea-

ture. Utilizing a bit of ingenuity, Harley used an overhead slide

projector to enlarge the image from the magazine and take

measurements. Knowing that

he wanted his crop plane to

hold 3 pounds of dust, he

determined that his model

would have to have a 100-inch

wingspan and weigh 20

pounds—and it does! Harley's

Z-137 is powered by a Moki

2.10 engine, which delivers 25

pounds of thrust turning a

20x10 prop. Harley expects the

plane's performance to be

good, and he intends to find

out for sure as soon as sum-

mer arrives.

FAIRCHILD PT-23

Byron's PT-23 may look familiar; it started out as a

Dynaflite PT-19 kit. With a little bit of creativity and a lot

of work, Byron transformed the kit by shortening the

front end and adding a fiberglass ring cowl. He powers

his PT-23 with a Saito R 1.70 and controls it with a

Futaba T8UAF radio. It features a JHM Engineering

onboard ignition system and is finished in a yellow, blue

and striped rudder color scheme—the same as only one

production run of the full-size aircraft was painted.

SCRATCH-BUILT CROP DUSTER

Crop dusters are gaining popularity as RC models, and when you see

a plane like Mike's, you understand why. Who wouldn't want one of

these? Mike scratch-built this plane with the help of his friend, David

West; both are members of the Kerrville R.C. Flyers in Kerrville, TX.

86-inch-wingspan model weighs 141/2 pounds and is covered with

Stits Lite and MonoKote.

SOPWITH TRIPLANE

Our thanks to Jim for sending us this photo of his standoff scale WW I

Sopwith Triplane, which he designed and built himself. Powered by an O.S.

.25FP engine, Jim's fighter has a 39 3/4-inch wingspan and weighs 3 1/2

pounds. The model has a profile fuselage, but Jim widened the nose to

accommodate the battery and receiver. Jim designed the plane for RC

combat; it's the third in a series of 1/8 -scale WW I combat planes he's build-

ing. Jim says his

model possesses all

of the flight charac-

teristics of the full-

size plane; it isn't

particularly fast, but

it's extremely maneu-

verable and has a

high rate of climb.
