The Scale Flyers of
Minnesotaare dedicated to
building/designing scale
radio controlled model aircraft replicas of historic full-sized aircraft. At our meetings (during the
winter months) we share information on
scale documentation,
building and finishing techniques, new available
products as well as various discussions on
flying skills required in scale modeling.
Our club members have
also gained the reputation of
designing and building some of the most unique
Scale & Giant Scale R/C
Model Aircraft in our hobby. This site captures that
unique knowledge and
presents it to you as a resource, reference and
enjoyment.
Our site's contributing members have years of
construction and design experience. They're active in prestigious
scale events such as Top Gun and the Scale Masters.
Additionally, you've seen their Designs, Kits & R/C
Products highlighted in several National R/C Aircraft Publications. Some of our members have also gone farther by providing proven
aircraft designs
(David P.
Andersen) and products
(Equinox R/C
& Micko Aircraft), which are presented here for your
review, download and purchase.
