Frank Beatty's models, Brodak dope with lot's of surface detail, the airlane with one wing is his new DH-77

Great pictures guys. Some very neat scale models there.
-
Frank Beatty's models are genuine 'eye candy'.
-
Amazing models!!!
Thanks Ty!!!

I'll agree with that, they are always incredible models.
-
Now this is true modeling! y1
Brian

Absolutely agree, Brian!
-
This work is outstanding, Deservs a standing ovation!!
Makes you want to complete a model.
Be nice if the builders would Post some detailed information about their models.

If I had the time and knew what model belonged to which modeler, I would have put the info with each photo. Unfortunately, I don't think all those modelers come on line here. D>K
Ty,
Didn't really notice you were the OP.
Thanks for the splended photos and for taking the time to share them.
Really does make you want to get something completed.

Dumb new guy question: What is the point of ailerons on a C/L aircraft? This one really has me stumped n~

Bill,
You never saw those CL models that bank/roll? n~

The ailerons are not functional. On my RV-4 they are for looks only. You get more static points if the ailerons or rudder are separate from the wing or fin.
Look at the wing for the b-29, I only have a tape line showing where the edge of where the ailerons would be. The rudder looks better than if I had made one part.
It purely for static points, however on a rare occasion you will find cl scale models adjusting the ailerons on the ground to make the model rolls to the right in windy conditions

Here is the B-29 that I flew in Profile scale, 96" span, 13 lbs, four E25 electric motors

Dumb new guy question: What is the point of ailerons on a C/L aircraft? This one really has me stumped n~
First off, there is no such thing as a dumb question except for the one that is not asked.
Now, if you are referring to the photograph of the Navy SNJ that shows the ailerons deflected, there are several plausible answers.
The model shows the leadouts on the left for counter clockwise flight. The ailerons appear to be deflected for a right roll, or to provide a means to lift the left wing to help keep the lines tight.
So---
1. The ailerons on this model could be fixed in that position to help keep the lines tight
or
2. The ailerons on this model could be connected to the throttle so that as speed is reduced, more right aileron is applied. It is known that one CL builder set up his elevators, rudder and ailerons to be operated and connected to scale controls in the cockpit. For flight, the throttle linkage was connected to the rudder and aileron controls so that for lower speeds, more right rudder and more right aileron were applied. For higher speeds, the ailerons went to more neutral as did the rudder.
or
3. The ailerons might be controlled by a radio system like the now legal 2.4 gHz system that can be used on CL scale airplanes where the rules allow its use for functions other than the aerodynamic elevation control of the model. I think the way the rule is written is that the 2.4 gHz system could be used for aileron control.
From an interested bystander.

While judging both the FCM for many years and at the nats as well, a couple of airplanes I've seen have used wing waggle as an option. They do it downwind, of course. I'm sitting here trying to remember whose they were, and I think Charlie Bauer might have been one of them. I'll not get the other until I get up tomorrow!
(If then!!!) HB~>

Could that have been Clancy Arnold?

Clancy has done the wing waggle with his Taube
Fred

I'll still not sleep tonight, for I never got to judge Clancy's Taube - haven't even gotten to see it fly yet!!! So, the sad old mind is still trying to think of the second ship I saw do it. HB~> HB~>

Charlie Bauer has done it with his Cub.

I have aileron control on my Extra 300S. The plan (although I have never done it) was to pull in front of the judges and do a preflight for scale realism of flight points. Have never had the guts to do a wing waggle. But who knows I might give it a go. I have rudder control so I could crank in lots of rudder to keep the lines tight.

This is true.
There was this guy/pilot that did air shows with his Cub.
Actually had the aircraft set up for one of the ailerons to fall off. I believe the port side.
While under power, he would also loose his hat on the runway. Later on, with a dead stick, he would glide in, land, then roll this Cub to a stop right at the hat. He would reach out from the cockpit and put his hat on before stepping out to take his bow!
Not a bad show.

I remember that crazy dude, Charles! He actually got out of the ship in the air to flip the prop from behind for a few shows. (He was faking it, of course, cause it was still idling.) I've often wondered if he lived to retire?

Joe,
Yes, that's the guy!
Been to Rhinebeck Aerodrome many times.
I don't miss the show but I do miss the countryside.

According to internet he is retired and did his last show at 82 years of age.
