MODEL PLANE, BUILDING
++ from ‘A’ to 2!
} FLYING MODELS has for many years set the pace
for informative material which has been of help to
bboth beginaer and expert. The highly popular "Data
Sheets” can be considered one of these paceselters and
many a beginner found it easier to start in this fall
ing honby because of them. This material alse jogged
the memories of experts who had drifted away from
many usable techniques.
T?s the effort of tals handbook te comprass the max
imum of usable information into one handy reference
‘To do this, we've taken materiel which has created
the greatest interest in modelers over the years and
comparémented' it into this publication. We feal that
this material has been refined down to ts most usable
form,
Teis to no amazement that there is a recurring re~
‘quest for material of this nature. The hobby and sport
of model plane building is constantly fining new re-
eruits in search of material to get started. Also, many
of the oldtimers are seeking sourees to replace mate

inl and information which was lost or misplaced.
‘Then, too, there is the group that missed out getting
the material az originally published because supplies
were exhausted by the time of their request.
We feel that this book will prove to he an excellent
guide for clubs and schoals With projects in model
plane building. Tt should also serve to indicate how
bbroad the ficld of modeling spreads, its eamplesities
and solutions, its simplicities and pleasures,
‘The simple gauging of the man-hours that went
into drawing all of the lines, lettering all of the panels
and plans — not fo mention the man-hours of Mought
that went into producing the Handy Hints — Is too
formicible to contemplate, What you find here is a
condensation of many years of effort by many excel-
ent model builders, designers and artists,
‘We hope you enjoy this publication and gain many
‘time-saving knacks to meke hobbying more pleasant
And, we suggest that you keop clase tabs on this edi
tion. It is 2 limited printing and will prove to be
seareity as have the 5 previous Handbooks in this

by them and we feol that Mopet PraNe Buuoixe rom “A’ wo 'Z'ig.a fitting tribute,Plan savin
