through air along ground So lighter make less work model has to stay aloft Build model like rock will fly like rock Build light like feather will give chance soar like eagle Lets make list rules can follow make lighter models Rule No 1 Keep model free unnecessary parts details add weight dont help fly Rule No2 sure structure designed weight strength needed Rule No 3 Select balsa proper grain Rule No 4 Use glue sparingly Rule No5 Use lightweight coveringand no dope use clear thinned-out dope short list should memorized should uppermost approach building models five important rules should mind
