ABOUT
A disciplined, workshop centred guide aimed at giving modellers a complete grounding in both the construction and operation of flying models.
His approach is practical and methodical: he explains how to select materials, lay out components, assemble strong but lightweight structures, and apply coverings that balance durability with aerodynamic cleanliness.
Contains technical breakdowns of historic competition models, such as Bob Copland's famous 1938 GB-3 Wakefield rubber competition model.
Sparey’s instructions reflect the careful, craftsman like standards of mid-century aeromodelling.
Includes monochrome images, illustrations, and diagrams.
