CK Aero

Over the weekend, many folks competed in the USA F3P (Indoor Pattern) team trials in Ohio. We are very proud to say that two of our CK Aero Team members have made the USA F3P team that will compete in the World Championships in France next year. Dave Lockhart and Joseph Szczur made the team! […]

Bryan and I got together with former F3A World Champion Chip Hyde after a great Cajun Nationals last October. We discuss why we fly YS, what is so special about the Allure, and Brett’s plans for an illustrious career flying around rubber dog sh*t. No stone unturned 😉 Don’t forget to check out the other […]

BASIC SETUP AND TRIMMING GUIDE FOR ENTRY LEVEL PATTERN FLIERS Trimming an aerobatic aircraft is like learning the game of golf. When you first start out, the game seems fun. You have some good strokes and some good holes, but some call it beginners luck! Then, as you get a little more serious and buy […]

All of the products have been received at CK Aero and are being processed.  By now, if you had a plane on order, you should have been contacted by us to finish the details.  If you haven’t heard from us regarding your aircraft or have any questions about your order, please CONTACT US.  Bryan is […]

Great news!  The shipment is finally in New Orleans and will be delivered to CK Aero on the 15th.  Bryan will be in contact with customers in the next few days to arrange details.  Perfect timing for that perfect Christmas gift!

This is the foundation of the problems with performance of the model versus the performance of the modeler trying to fly it. The Beginning of Rudder Knowledge With the art of trimming, there is one basic difference that affects your results when it comes to a good flying model: The difference between the model’s ability […]

The shipment scheduled for delivery is due in New York port on November 12th.  It then takes about 10 days to get to CK Aero assuming there are no Customs delays. We expect to have everything in the next 2 1/2 – 3 weeks!  Stay tuned for further updates!

Out of the box the Allure is arguably “the” best flying monoplane currently on the market. It suits all currently available power systems including glow, electric and contra. All three power systems coupled with the Allure finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the 2015 US Nationals so choose your weapon! I have been flying my […]

Bryan and I had a fantastic time this last weekend at the Cajun Nats and took a few videos to share the experience with everyone. We had a special event after the contest put together by Chip — Me, AC, and Chip all decided to throw $20 into a pot and see who could fly […]

Due to the overwhelming response of the Allure, the third order, due to the U.S. at the beginning of 2016, is now sold out!  We are currently putting together the next order due for delivery May 2016.  If you are interested in getting on the list, please CONTACT US as soon as possible to get […]

A 2-of-a-kind Shinden.  The scheme only exists on two Shindens anywhere in the world.  The plane just arrived from the factory and is ready to ship to your home from Louisiana.  The plane is an electric Shinden and includes the “Designer’s Touch”, CK Aero control horns and, of course, the custom scheme.  It can easily be […]

We often refer to incidence angles, CG location, and control travels with respect to our pattern airplanes, but just how accurate are the numbers? Does it even matter? We each may have different criteria for making these measurements. Sometimes it’s just for initial set-up to the designer’s specs, or maybe for future reference as we […]

CK Aero is proud to introduce two new team members this year.  They certainly aren’t new to precision aerobatics and we’re certain you know both of them. Joseph Szczur is the 2014 US National Junior F3A Champion and the current 2015-2016 World F3A Junior Champion.  We are very proud to have Joseph join our team and […]

Hard to believe Bryan and I just finished our 4th visit to the World Championship. It was a great event. The Swiss really outdid themselves with the organization and execution, truly world class. I’ve never seen so many spectators at an F3A event! I don’t know how, but they found a way to make it […]
