Radio Controlled (RC) Tempests |
Radio Control Modelers world wide love to build and fly Tempests! This page presents some of them. I have found them and their models in different magazines or on the Internet. In some cases received an e-mail from a proud builder.
If you have built a RC-Tempest, please share the experience with the rest of us! Send the Webmaster an e-mail, and tell us your story. A photo of your model would be great!!
