Steps To Choosing A Model
MOTIVATION
Experience tells us, when you see a picture of a
plane or a model at the field that catches your eye
your
motivated as a modeler to recreate it. Some of us
like to create something similar that will fly well
and give us satisfaction without all the hassel and
costs that go along with many of the kits on the
market today. That is not to say the end results of
many of these kits are not great!
CONCEPT DRAWING
=============================================
=============================================
The next step is to make a concept drawing of
what
you would like to create. Do the drawing in pencil
and have a big eraser handy. As you play around with
the drawing your interest will either build or drop
off. If the latter happens it is time to look for
something else. That rarely happened to me but you
may be different. Play with the concept drawing
for a couple of days and make changes based on
proportions and relative distances from nose to wing
and wing to tail. Position the landing gear for the
type of field you fly off of. The size of the wheels
is governed also by the type of field. Some of us
don't have asphalt runways, just dirt roads and
grass at sod farms in Florida!
