Pierre Robin Princeby Frank Maguire
After purchasing Jim Newman’s collection of 3-views in your publication A View from Here I became interested in the Prince, a Pierre Robin creation from France. Never having actually scratchbuilt a model starting with just a 3-view, I decided that now is the time! I began by getting the 3-view enlarged at Staples to a 44-inch wing span. Then I made working plans by drawing in the details of spars, wing ribs, formers, etc. and started to build. Sixteen months later (with time out for other projects along the way) I have the results. It’s powered by a Thunder Tiger 25 and controlled by my Spektrum DX6i radio system.

Tom Binkley’s Yard Stik (February FM 2012) looked like just the thing to satisfy my itch to scratchbuild something again. A call to the FM office and the plans were on the way. Building the Yard Stik is fairly straightforward: balsa and ply con- struction with lightweight heat shrink covering. I took Tom’s suggestion and made the fuselage and wing py- lon out of an actual yardstick for a bit of whimsey. I used a 2204-14T outrunner, matching ESC, 360 mAh Li-Po, two 6 gram servos, a miniature receiver and GWS prop, per Tom’s instructions. The Yard Stik builds up to be a perfect little lady either in a gymnasium or back yard flying on a very calm evening. I highly recommend the Yard Stik to you!
