Introduction to Aeromodeling By Bob Aberle The Basics This is the start of a new series which has the sole purpose of attracting people to the hobby and sport of model aviation. Notice that I wrote “hobby” and “sport”; the hobby aspect involves building and assembling model aircraft, and the sport part involves the flying. As you will quickly learn, you don’t have to be a builder to be a flier! But as time goes along, I hope you will want to learn to do both. Throughout this series it is our intention to explain all facets of model aviation. Monthly articles geared toward the beginner and the intermediate will become a regular from now on. Sometimes a single subject will be presented, and at other times you may see several subjects in a single month.
