  • Antonov An-2
    AAnnttoonnoovv AAnn--22 SPORT-SCALE ARF RADIO-CONTROLLED MODEL AIRPLANE II NN SS TT RR UU CC TT II OO NN MM AA NN UU AA LL The Antonov An-2 (nicknamed “Annushka” or “Annie,” with the NATO reporting name “Colt”) is a single-engine biplane utility and agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR in 1946. Besides being used as an agricultural and light-utility transport, it has been used as a parachute-drop aircraft and many other tasks suited to such a large, slow-flying biplane; its slow flight ability made it suited for short, unimproved fields; and some variants were built for cold weather and other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever for any aircraft – exceeded only recently by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. By 1960 the USSR had produced over 5,000 of this aircraft. Since 1960, most An-2s were built at the WSK aerospace factory in the city of Mielec in southeastern Poland – with over 13,000 made there before full production ended in 1991. Limited production from parts‟ stock and maintenance coverage continued until 2001, when four were produced for Vietnam. China is also licensed to build a version of the An-2 known as the Shijiazhuang Y-5. The RC version we designed is approximately 1/11 scale, with a 62” wingspan. It gives customers the choice of electric or glow-power systems, and, like the original, this ARF radio-controlled An-2 also includes fully functional flaps and is available in both land and water-based versions.

  • Canada Aerospace Mission to Ukraine Kyiv, May 22 – 25
    Canada Aerospace Mission to Ukraine Kyiv, May 22 – 25 The Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association (CERBA), in collaboration with Export Québec, AIAC and Global Affairs Canada, is organizing a trade mission to Ukraine, in the field of aerospace. Companies are invited to join the mission that will introduce Canadian companies to the important players in the Ukrainian aerospace industry, such as well known Antonov (aircrafts) that is producing the biggest cargo plane ever built, Motor Sich (engines), Yuzhmash (space rockets), and much more. The Ukrainian industries related to aviation, space, telecom, and related infrastructure such as airports, offer significant potential for business and partnership. Scarcely known in the West, Ukrainian companies were very largely oriented on supplying the Russian market as their industries were complimentary and intertwined since Soviet times. The political crisis between the two countries severed many of those ties and Ukrainian companies are now forced to source and sell goods in new markets. In order to penetrate these markets, Ukrainians will have to partner with Western companies to create products corresponding to international standards. CERBA, in collaboration with the Embassy of Canada to Ukraine, will organize a workshops and B2B meetings with the local industry, as well as with political establishment, in order to accelerate the acquaintance and business development process. The initiative is supported at a high level by the Canadian and Ukrainian Governments. Areas offering opportunities for Canadian companies: Production and development outsourcing to Ukraine; joint production of components for aircraft industry; joint space projects; export of avionics, simulators and aircraft systems; development and sales of composite materials; remote sensing and earth observation; space materials science; satellite systems KYIV, UKRAINE DAY 1 – May 22 Time TBD (p.m.) Arrival to Int’l Airport Boryspil (Kyiv) Transfer to Hotel in Kyiv p.m.

  • Flying the Antonov An-2 in Alaska, 2003 by Matthew A. Nelson
    An-2 in Alaska Matthew A. Nelson Flying The Antonov An-2 In Alaska, 2003 by Matthew A. Nelson An-2 in Alaska Matthew A. Nelson Flying The Antonov An-2 In Alaska, 2003 Saturday, June 28th Maybe this story starts in 1999, when I was on a fishing trip in Alaska with Hawks Abbott, Brian Collier, and Bob Simle. In my previous story, “My Life Around Airplanes”, I wrote about this huge blue bi-wing airplane that Hawks and I saw at the Anchorage airport. He exclaimed, “Look at that An-2 Colt!” Until that day, I had never even heard of it. This particular plane belonged to Ron Sheardown and it is now at the bottom of the ocean near the North Pole, but that’s his story, and I’m not going to go into the details in my story. (Reference: http://www.explorers.org/newsfiles/archivefiles/biplane/index.html.) At any rate, I knew then that I wanted to fly the Russian-designed Antonov An-2 someday. Or, this story could start with “Friday, June 20th”, which is the day I left my home in Texas to fly to Seattle, with the intention of going to Campbell River, B.C. the following day, and then returning to Seattle to go to Alaska for another week. I had signed up with Parallel Aviation in Campbell River to take a mountain flying course that was beginning on June 22nd. But I have decided to write about that experience later in a different story, simply because I have already written the words of this story about flying the An-2 from August 7th until August 13th, and now I am backtracking.
