Welcome to My Balsa & Glass Workshop

 “My Balsa & Glass Workshop” website has been developed to provide you with just a small sampling of what you can accomplish in the hobbies of Radio Controlled (RC) Balsa model aircraft building and Stained Glass works. Most of the projects you will find here were assembled in my small 12′x24′ Workshop seen above, where you see the Stained Glass Assembly Area on the right side, and Balsa Model Assembly Areas on the left side and far center. I hope you enjoy my website.

 Winston-Salem Radio Control Club (W-S RC) was established in 1963 and their primary mission is to promote radio control aeromodeling in the greater Central North Carolina RC community. They are a Gold Leader chartered club of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and a FAA Recognized Identification Area (FRIA). Their beautiful flying field was established in 1996 and is situated in the center of Davie County near the town of Mocksville, approximately 20 miles West of Winston-Salem. The field has two pavilions/pit areas with electricity and a nice club house looking out over 700′ of well maintained grass runway. There even is a small geo-textile runway that allows smaller electrics enough room for take-offs. On hand are model assembly benches and engine starting and run-up benches, all custom built by the club members. Just click on the image above to see what W-S RC has to offer.

 


Speedy Bee First Flight

 Finally accomplished the maiden flight for my Speedy Bee on 2 May 2024. Had to make an adjustment to the elevator setting, but after that she flies great. The balloon tires and Traxxas oil filled shocks/springs MLG make landings great and ground handling is well behaved. Overall, a fun plane and this one will see lots of flying.
