One of the coolest things at Joe Nall happens when the sun goes down and the 3D flight line heats up with some of the most fun night flying demos anywhere. Here Tim Hanstine the owner of Extreme Flight demos the big Bush Master gasser with a full night rig.
As you become more proficient in your aerobatic ability, you will naturally begin to combine elements of different maneuvers within a single figure. One such maneuver is called the Cobra Roll with a Half-Roll Up and a Positive Snap Down. For new and experienced aerobatic pilots alike, this figure is demanding. It not only combines […]
If you’re thinking about building your own scale instrument panel, check out this two-part video series from Rick at Rick’s RC Flying. Rick’s how-to videos take you through his build and tips step-by-step. It’s a great way to add some eye candy to your scale aircraft!
Don’t miss this super cool pair of giant-scale Cubs flying in close formation. Each is powered by flat four-cylinder ZDZ 420cc engine, so there’s more than enough power for the impressive aerobatics. Watch closely at the start of the video–it takes two people to hold back each Cub during the start-up!

What could possibly go wrong? A 60% Bill Hempel Cub towing a 60% glider OFF THE WATER! Taken at Joe Nall a couple years ago on their 40-acre float pond. Wow!
As master scale modeler Dave Platt has said, “A scale model is never truly finished–you simply stop working in it.” I first test flew my Sopwith Camel with my Zenoah G38 engine fully exposed in that big radial cowling. So, to help dress it up, I have begun to install a dummy rotary engine. I […]
Check out this great time-lapse video of famed RC modeler Phil Noel hand-spraying the tail of a 1/5-scale F-16 Fighting Falcon. The work is still in process but looks impressive (and bad-ass)!
When casual modelers see a turbine-powered jet, they see a hodgepodge of wires and fuel lines running all over and think “Wow! I could never figure all that out.” The truth about it is that it isn’t all that complicated once you understand what everything does and how it fits into the big picture and […]
Talk about “wow factor!” Check out this H-400 turbo-prop model designed by Gottfried Hirscher for Tomahawk Aviation. With a wingspan of over 9 feet and a custom airbrush scheme, it’s a stunner!
In 1946, the “Dragonfly” became the second helicopter to enter Coast Guard service under the Navy designation HO3S-1G. This scale beauty does the original justice, and the attention to detail is stunning. We don’t say this often, but this looks like a museum-quality model!
This one’s a stunner! This 1/4-scale jet is powered by a JetCat P400 Pro that sounds amazing. And it’s a big fella with a length of almost 14 feet, a wingspan of 8 feet, 2 inches, and a weight of 86 pounds. Check out the video to see this fighter in action!
