Mission Statement
Small Flying Arts is dedicated
to hobbyists who build small
flying models of all types. Our mission is
to empower model airplane enthusiasts to get more
from their hobby - more information, more value,
and more pleasure. To achieve this we've designed
a highly interactive website that's actually
shaped by the readers themselves.
Articles, tips,
and reviews
This content is pulled together from a wide variety
of authoritative sources - primarily our readers
- and is featured prominently on our main
page. All material is carefully selected and
edited to create instructive, entertaining, and
inspiring articles. These are updated often, but
not on any set schedule. We encourage you to check
back in frequently to see what's
new.
Discussion Forum
The SFA
Forum is an excellent vehicle for the exchange
of information and ideas. We have an active community
of very talented modelers engaged in a wide variety
of activities here. The ability to post images along
with text messages has led to some valuable instructional
sequences, and fascinating glimpses of many modeling
projects.
Image Gallery
Users can upload and view images in an organized
manner by using our image
gallery. This can be used to display models,
document aircraft color schemes, store aircraft
"walkaround" images, etc.
Other
Resources
The free plans
section is very popular and unique. Many of these
plans were designed by our readers and contributed
along with articles.
We also have a growing links
section where we list web destinations that are
useful to those who build small flying models.
What's a "Small
Model?"
Our very unofficial definition is any
airplane with a 30-inch wingspan or less, but
we recognize many exceptions! It has become immensely
popular to build and fly small models, and the
technologies and techniques involved have advanced
remarkably over the past several years. A huge
amount of this knowledge is available to almost
anyone, but most of it is spread piecemeal over
a multitude of books, magazines, newsletters,
user-groups, and websites. Small Flying Arts
gathers useful information from these scattered
sources and presents it in a coherent and organized
format. As part of our mission
statement we strive to provide a comprehensive
resource for those who build and fly small models.
We want you to enjoy your visit, and to make
that happen we rely on your feedback. If you have
any comments or questions please feel free to
contact us by email here.
