 After several visits to
purely commercial sites on recent issues, it's nice to have
a look at a personal site by way of a change.
This one is MICHAEL HENRIKSON'S site
which contains a most interesting variety of pages reflecting his
various hobbies, as well as something about him and his family.
Michael's
interest in r/c aero-modelling now lies solely in electric flight, and
he has a page on his website which he calls simply Michaels Electric
Models. The page is too large for me to display it here full size,
but this much-reduced reproduction is enough for you to see the way it
is arranged. It consists of a scroll-down pictorial list of Michael's
fleet of fifteen electric models, each item linking to further pictures
and details of the model in question. Some background is given to the
model, its method of construction, materials used and a full technical
specification of the model - wingspan, length, wing area, motor and battery combination, etc. The
range of models is wide, from fast aerobatic outdoor models to park
flyers and indoor slow-flyers and includes the Kolibri slow flyer which
Michael actually builds and sells complete and ready to fly. There's a
small selection of Michael's models on the photo
gallery page. Other pages on
the site reflect Michael's diverse range of interesting hobbies and
cover Steam Engines, Michael's Recumbent Bike, a page dedicated to the
Kolibri slow flyer, Pop-Pop Boats and Family. The Pop-Pop boats are
fascinating little models, some of which Michael actually imports and
markets through a separate little company he has launched (no pun
intended there!) for the purpose. Michael
also occasionally enjoys flying rubber-powered model aircraft, but that
has yet to appear on his fascinating website! http://fly.to/epilot
