Custom Built Aircraft Models With LED Lighting

A set of 36 inch wide Custom Built Aircraft Models with LED lighting are getting ready to leave the work shop. These custom built models are going to be used to light a recreation area in a hanger.

You can see the detail in the cockpits and there are rows of lighting under the belly of the aircraft model. The cockpits are lighted, the landing lights and running lights are lit as well. These models were custom built right here in the USA!

We also added a B-2 Lancer model to be admired by all it is now back in stock on our web site!

This model airplane is hand carved from solid Philippine Mahogany. Our skilled modelers spend hours and hours crafting the details of this solid hardwood work of art.

The finish is painted by hand and all the call sings, tail numbers and details are clear coated to protect them for many years to come.

Come on in take a look around and enjoy!

Quad Copters Are Becoming Popular Quickly

I found some great stories about Quad Copters and some of the good things that come from them. If you are a model aircraft enthusiast, you may enjoy some of the really cool things that can be done with them. You can attach cameras to them and take some awesome video of places you would never dare walk. I find the views extremely cool myself. I recently viewed a video of an abandoned Ford plant that was very unique as the floors were completely gone from years of neglect. Check the Old Ford Plant Copter Video

Here are some cool stories about the new Fad. Quad Copters Flying of the Shelves!

Amazon Asks FAA For Permission To Fly Drones

I posted a story about the FAA telling Amazon no to delivering packages with drones. Well Amazon has decided to "ask" the FAA for permission to use this type of delivery system. I don't really want this type of thing flying over my head but we will have to see how this works out!

Ghost Ship Found On The Ohio River

Some Kayakers discovered a 110 year old ship off of the Ohio River. The Ship was built in 1902 for a Railroad Tycoon. It had a very colorful life, serving in WWI and WWII. The Ship was also used by Thomas Edison for Scientific research.
It spent allot of it's life as a sight seeing vessel. For 41 years it belonged to Circle Line and was named the Circle line V.

Amazon Dreams Smashed

No package delivery by #modelaircraft touts the government. I don't know if any of you had seen the commercials around super bowl time were Amazon told the world that someday they would deliver packages with a remote operated drone. I saw the commercial and it was pretty inspiring. I thought it was a little far fetched but the government has stepped up and stated that it is not going to happen!

Read the story here:  Amazon Dreams Come Crashing Down

I personally don't like anything flying over my head that may come crashing down on it! Too bad though cool idea. Stay tuned as the stories emerge and I will try and keep you updated as to what I learn!

Great post. At least the park service is getting a clue about how to handle the difference between a drone and a model aircraft!

I for one enjoy RC modelling, and aircraft models themselves. Building them has always been a fun and clean hobby. Great for kids! I don't think we should give away too many more of our freedoms.

Airplane Models Lit up by LED!

We are just about to deliver some really awesome wood model aircraft that we custom built for an airplane hanger. The models of B-17G Liberty Bell, F4U-4 Corsair Jolly Rodgers, SNJ -3/5 Texan, J-3 Piper Cub, Vans RV10 and a Boeing Stearman model 175 PT 17 Kaydet.

We created a custom paint scheme for each model airplane and detailed the cockpits the way they should be historically accurate. Each model has the landing lights installed, cockpit lights and a special row of LED lighting under neath each plane to light up the area at their new home, a hangar!

Although this project took several months it has turned out to be one of my most favorite custom builds. We are so looking forward to their departure and arrival! I am posting a few pictures and you will be able to see the finished product on Military Models Online and Airplane Models Online..

We only use the highest quality woods and materials in the construction of our model airplanes. These models are built in the USA. Take a look below and see what you think.

I will post the final residence of these fine model planes after they are installed and the lights are on for all of you to see.

These models are affordable and very unique. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
