A Lifetime of Building and Flying Model Airplanes including RC Models, lightweight Rubber-band powered planes, No-Cals and Peanut Scale models.

Peanut Scale Models

Peanut Scale are smaller model airplanes with a 13-inch wing span, and the model airplane usually weighs about 10 grams.
The airplane is built using lightweight Balsa Wood, and the entire model is usually covered in tissue paper.
New types of paper have recently arrived, and now Mylar paper can be used to cover the wood,
The Mylar provides a smooth shiny finish that covers the fuselage structure.
Model Airplane Builders can choose to attach wings to the actual structure,
or use magnets that attach/detach the wings for storage or flight.
The motor for Peanut Scale Models is typically a loop of rubber-band appropriate for winding and flying the model airplane.
Sometimes the model builder builds a Peanut Scale Model and equips the airplane with a CO2 engine.
