Big Brother R/C - The Hornet 2X
The A-J Hornet is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. The latest addition is this Hornet 2X by Noel Martin of McMinnville, Oregon. This is a 3 channel R/C Hornet built to a 200% scale. Information and more photos can be found on our website.
This model was on display at the static model display at the Evergreen Aviatiuon Museum in McMinnville during the final weekend of February. Just visualize the extremes of scale with this model sitting under a wing of Howard Hughes Spruce Goose, which is housed there.
Latest Ed Solenberger Creation
Ed Solenberger is at it again. This time he offers us a view of his Hornet Bi-Plane. No news on how it flys just yet. Where did you get those wing clips, Ed?
Anyone out there with an interresting project like this? Send us photos with a short story and we will post it in the FireWire News.
