Model Airplane News, Aug 2001 by Chianelli, Chris

World-renowned for his involvement in scale aircraft modeling, Dave Platt, in his Black Art videotapes, has given us his secrets, tips and techniques for building museum-quality RC airplanes. The Jet Set is a new series that shows the construction of Dave's turbine-powered Hawker Hunter.

This five-tape series filmed in Dave's workshop shows the viewer each step in the model's construction, from basic techniques and equipment layout to installation and operation of the turbine power system. Cockpit detail, retracts, control surfaces, fiberglassing and painting are all explained as only Dave "Mr. Scale" Platt can do.
