K; it's the end of February, and you're looking for a warm place to go

before the temperature starts to rise in your hometown. That you are an

avid RC modeler who wants to broaden your horizons to include jet mod-

eling makes the decision a no-brainer—Florida Jets. Once again, the site for this

premier jet event was the Flagler County airport, about five minutes west of

Interstate 95 in Bunnell, FL.

I arrived early Friday morning to see cloudy, drizzly skies, and this was as nice

as It got for the next 48 hours, i watched about a dozen flights through the mist

before I called it quits, hoping for bet-

ter weather the next day. Unfortunately,

it only worsened; no one got airborne

Saturday because of the deluge of rain

and gusty winds.

But as if to offer a reprieve, Sunday

opened with chilly but sunny skies and

minimal wind nearly down the center-

line-a dramatic difference from the

previous two days.

FLYING TIME

A few aircraft always stand out in your

mind as exceptional in performance,

appearance, creativity, or just plain tal-

ent. Dave Malchione's big, orange, NMC-marked F-4 Phantom remains a

crowd-pleaser. When he touched down on the numbers in a perfect attitude, all

that was missing were the blue/gray puffs of smoke from the tires!

As is usually the case at jet events, the majority of the models were from the

Bob Violett Models (BVM) product line; there's no question that BVM has cap-

tured the lion's share of the jet market. The newest scale machine from the

BVM jet house is the F-1OOF Super Sabre. It has all the appeal of Bob's "D"

model, and he reports that it flies even more smoothly. Watching it fly is awe-

inspiring. Even with all the external features such as Bull Pups, Mk.82s and

other goodies, it really cooks. What Bob has not yet managed to capture is the

sound of his "D" model; if you've heard it, you know what I mean. It's magi-

cal! Bob confided that he has actually tried switching some external things

around trying to determine what is producing that fabulous noise. I sure hope

he finds it!

looking L-1O11, built from the PCM Models

kit The ATA livery was beautifully executed.
