This video comes from the Jim Becker YouTube channel. He has many other videos from his 103 on his channel and is well worth checking out.
The video has one of my favorite bands Pink Floyd as the background music.
The Aerolite 103 was the October 2019 aircraft of the month, read more at:
The A-5 is a rather unique NAVY Bomber that at a quick glance almost looks like a F-15 but was put into service 15 years before. Designed and built by North American (same company that made the P-51). While it was designed in the late 50’s much of the layout and features would be seen on aircraft that are still in use today.

Beyond its very large size for a NAVY Carrier aircraft was its original weapons and fuel layout that featured a center bay where both where stored in a center tube and jettisoned aft rather than simply dropped like most aircraft.
There are a few aircraft on display and I would like to see on one day, a full list of locations is on the Wiki page above.
The A-5 has some decent YouTube coverage from Dark Skies, Simon Whistler and others.

This Video shows the 3 most critical slicer settings to get good bed adhesion on a 3D print.
I use Cura by Ultimaker for all my 3D printing, its powerful and free, to learn more check out: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura/
First start by unlocking the settings for each item by doing the following
Initial cooling settings, adjust as needed:

The C22 was developed in Italy as a Military Trainer in 1980, The company had previous experience with gliders, in 1981 Agusta acquired a 50% stake in the program.

MS Flight Sim 2020 has the C22
The C22 is a popular RC and free flight model as well

I would like to thank Buzz’s Facebook old magazine scan in’s for this add from the 9/93 RCM issue for the C22 made by I.T.P.
For anyone who is interested and has a 3D printer I have a 1/4″ hex bit holder up on Thingiverse for free.
Typically used in Impact Drivers and Drills.
Each individual holder, will hold 10 standard hex bits. the tray can fit 5 holders for a grand total of 50 hex bits.

For a quick Product Review I used the SUNLU brand of Filament from Amazon, Print quality was very good and I would Highly recommend it.
Custom Print Settings in Cura:
Initial flow 150%
Initial Speed 10mm/s
Fan off up to 6mm
The F-1 Rocket first flew in 2000 and is often seen at fly-in’s.
Construction methods are similar to an RV-8 but with much higher performance along with a much larger 540 or 550 engine.

There are some RC options that may be able to be found as a used complete aircraft or kit

The Dakota Hawk, was introduced in 1993 with 25+ flying. It can be powered by O-200, 912 & 3300’s. The Corvair would likely be another good candidate for power.
EAA Article: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/kits-and-plans/d—g/dakota-hawk
Fisher’s web site: https://ckd.aero/fisher-dakota-hawk/
YouTube has a few videos on the aircraft:
I was not able to find any common RC offerings for the Dakota but with some 3D modeling software and time it looks like an easy thing to take on.
Like the Radial rocket the Murphy Moose is also powered by the M14P radial engine as its prime option.
Other engine options include the Lycoming O-540, LS3 and even a PT-6
I was not able to find any RC options for the Moose but looks like a simple thing to model up.
Not too much information is available on the Radial Rockets history but its been out for a while now.
It’s powered by a M14P Radial engine and features an all composite airframe.

I always thought the Cavalier was a sharp looking homebuilt aircraft, tail # C-FGDC is likely one of the best I’ve seen. It’s based on the French GY-20 Minicab (one of these is on display at Sun-N-Fun). Latest design ownership is with MacFam. Common engine options are the Continental O-200 & the Lycoming O-235

The wooden aviation web site has even more details on the aircraft

The EAA has additional info on the aircraft but not a dedicated page I can find.
EAA Chapter 1541 has a local build documented https://eaa1541.org/members/newsletters/february-2016/builders-corner/
Jonny Sprague’s YouTube channel has a few videos on his Cavalier, here is one below:
Outerzone did not have any plans on this aircraft, quite surprising as it would be a great RC model.
