Model flight experts and contact persons

Model airplanes may look nice and colorful and reasonably simple, but they are actually extremely sophisticated flying machines that will only stay in the air if they are properly designed, properly adjusted and properly flown. The fact is that the limits within which the whole thing works are much narrower than the pretty pictures on the packaging would suggest. Even the fact that there is a wide range of good models available in specialized shops, at attractive prices, does not change the fact that every aircraft is a very demanding machine. It is therefore usually very sensible to refrain from another attempt to invent the wheel, and to consult an expert in good time.
