Skybolt Pitts Special Pitts Model 14 Knight Twister Great Lakes While this is nowhere close to an exhaustive list, here are some of the kits and plans of all types that we are aware of - please let us know about others and we'll add them to the list! There are construction plans, 3-views, and kits available from various manufacturers for all of our designs (though not necessarily each sub-version) in a variety of scales. As with any scale model, we highly recommend assembling the documentation BEFORE you start the model so that you aren't caught with a half-built model needing details that you have not information on!

He offers many photo and 3-view packages of Skybolts, Pitts S1's, Knight Twisters, and Great Lakes, which are described well in the free downloadable catalog available on his website.

If you don't know of a plane near you, we suggest the highly-regarded photo packages offered by Bob Banka via his company, Bob's Air Documentation. For the ultimate in authenticity, we also offer scale flying wires, made by Bruntons using the same process that's used to make the full-sized wires.Īs for other documentation suitable for scale competition, that obviously depends upon the specific aircraft being modeled. Some of these even include specifications such as control surface deflections. First off, we offer 3-views of our aircraft for a reasonable fee, which come from the blueprints used by builders of the full-scale aircraft. We do offer some resources directly to modelers, and we will post as much information of use to modelers as we can. that may be a simplification but for the most part, it's not far from the truth! It's often said that building a homebuilt plane is just like making a giant model. In addition, several of our employees are modelers whose interests range from R/C to free flight and static models. The late Hale Wallace, who previously owned the company, was a world-championship level scale R/C modeler.

The history of Steen Aero Lab owes much to model airplanes. Radio Control, Free Flight, Control Line, and Static Display

Properly applied and maintained Dacron fabric, with urethane or plasticized acrylics should last forever or until wear and tear require replacement, which is like saying that thin ice will support you indefinitely or at least until spring. Steen Aero Lab - Model Aircraft Information
