ABOUT
A comprehensive guide of model aviation at a time when the hobby was expanding rapidly in both technique and ambition.
Introduces readers to the full spectrum of model aircraft types—gliders, rubber powered models, gas powered designs, control line, and the then emerging radio control field—explaining the principles that govern their structure and flight.
Also serves as a workshop guide, covering tools, adhesives, wood selection, covering techniques, and the step by step logic of building reliable, well balanced aircraft. Interwoven throughout is an emphasis on experimentation and understanding why models behave as they do.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, drawings and diagrams.
