Default "How It's Made" Episode

Just watched an episode of "How it's Made" on the Science Channel. They showed how model aircraft kits are made, at SIG and how they are built. Pretty interesting and well done episode. They used kits, not a word about ARFs. However, some of the flying scenes were SIG arfs.

I remember a How Its Made about Jet Cat model jet engines. It was cool how they balance it out and made the trubines.

Excellent I wish I had caught it. The point about kits or arfs being made or flown is not really important as it sounds like the show was entirely positive and in a time of a rapidly shrinking industry during these tough times.

Kudos to the producers.

I'm in Australia Stick and have looked up Google for this episode and even the torrents that say they have the full
season, they only go up to Episode 13.
Oh Well.

Deadeye is correct. And if you are an Amazon 'Prime' member you can watch the episode for free. I just watched it. Pretty neat to see how they cut and box their balsa. It's definitely the Sig factory.
