Dumas Models Aeronca C3 by Mike Zaborowski
Mike “Grim Racer” Zaborowski has made a name for himself designing and winning races with R/C boats but he also enjoys building and flying scale R/C aircraft. Mike has an appreciation for the “old ways” of model aviation and incorporates them with new technology to reveil the best of both worlds. Mike starts out by saying, “The full scale Aeronca C3, nick- named The Flying Bathtub was designed during the ‘Golden Age’ of flying. The Aeronca Company was founded in Ohio and designed and built planes from 1928 until 1951. The C3 with its ‘A’ frame fuselage construction made for a challenging yet fun modeling subject. Here are a few pictures of my Dumas Models Aeronca C3 that I built a few winters ago. The components included with the kit were of a very high quality

and all pieces, parts and tissue that came with the kit were used to complete the model. I used Duco cement through out the construction of the airframe and floral spray for the final covering coat. Three-channel guidance is handled by my trusty Futaba 6EX and R6106HF receiver. The brushless motor, battery and servos are Electrifly and the motor controller is made by Flight-Power. “All-up flying weight is 5 ounces and is as gentle as a kitten in the air. So far however I have only flown it indoors. Since these pictures were taken the plane now includes a pilot figure that waives via servo power to the airshow spectators below!” Other items that can be seen on Mike’s Aeronca are the scratchbuilt dummy engine cylinders, exhaust manifolds, flying wires, custom decals and a simulated painted wood prop.

This is one of the most exciting avia- tion racing books we’ve ever run across. The 1969 INTERNATIONAL AIR RACING ANNUAL is a veritable gold mine of information for anyone who has ever looked longingly at any of the great racing planes. More than a statistics book or a one shot annual, this book records with a wealth of pho- tos and drawings the air racing circuit of 1968, and then hops into its time machine for a great photo portfolio of classic racing planes from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. It’s a must for fans and researchers. (00999) $4.95 + s&h
