IN THE JULY column I went back to
basics with some words about installing
leadout guides. This month I’m going to
step back again and review the use and
makeup of the standard three-line

problems associated with making the
system and choosing three-line bellcranks.

THE AERONCA Champ 85 shown this
month is the work of Frank Slavin of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is making
an attempt at CL flying after an absence
of more than 50 years. He noted that he
last competed in CL Speed in 1948. It
appears that it’s never too late to enjoy the
sport of model flying. Welcome back,
Frank!
