Honker by Harold Davidson Harold was busy in thought one


day and remembered an airplane from his past. Harold writes, “In 1974 or 75, the Wavemasters Club of San Jose, held pylon races with the Honker using TD .049s.” After a quick search of the Internet, Harold found the original Honker plans through the RCM plan service. Rather than power the airplane with a traditional TD .049 engine, Harold elected to power this one with a BP A2212-

13 1000 Kv motor with an 8–6 prop, Castle 18 A ESC and a 3S 1350 mAh 11.1V Li-Po. Construction was simple as the fuselage and tail were cut from sheet balsa and built using traditional construction methods. Control for the Honker is provided by a Hitec Optic 6 with Spectra 2.4 module and two HS-56 HB servos.


Sopwith Camel by Rob Caso Rob Caso, who certainly is no slouch


when it comes to WWI aircraft, has just finished another masterpiece. Rob writes in, “I just finished this Sopwith Camel with a fantasy ‘bird of prey’ owl scheme I saw on the ‘Rise of Flight’ online video game site.” Built from a heavily modified kit, it took Rob about two months to build and finish. The finished Sopwith Camel is 1⁄8 scale and has a 42-inch wingspan and weighs 35 ounces. To power the Camel, Rob is using an E- flite Power 10, with 2S 2600 mAh 7.4V Li-Po, a Castle 36 A ESC with a 12–8 prop. The covering is Polyspan, primed with nitrate dope and Polycrylic, painted with green primer and Model Master brand paints. It also features pull-pull controls for both the elevator and rudder and a Maxford pilot at the controls.
