Q Design & Building Technique Articles by D. Andersen: The Art of the Scroll Saw

All Building, Tips & Technique Articles!

The Scale Flyers of Minnesota are 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 gained the reputation of designing/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.

You've seen our Members Designs, Kits & R/C Products highlighted in several National R/C Aircraft Publications.  Some of our members have gone a step farther by providing their proven aircraft designs and products here for your review, free download and purchase.

Thanks again for stopping by!  Feel free to Contact Us if we can help you with your scale projects.  Also help support our efforts by Joining the SFM Family - Hey it's only $10 dollars!

His Latest Offering

David's latest offering is an Exact 1/4 Scale Mitsubishi Ki-15 "Babs" and it's already an award winner!  Suitable for competition, everyday enjoyment at the flying field or museum static display.

For a brief period in 1937, the Mitsubishi Ki-15, code-named Babs by the Allies, was the fastest production aircraft in the world! The Ki-15 Karigane (Wild Goose) is a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft with a top speed of 300 mph.  Construction began in December 1935 and the prototypes exceeded all expectations.  About the same size as a P-47 Thunderbolt but only one-third as heavy, its range was four times that of a Spitfire and its ceiling was 6000 feet higher.  No fighter could catch it at the time. read more...
