How to Do It?: Music Wire Plays The Tune
AFTER BALSA WOOD, the most widely used solid material in model aviation is unquestionably music wire. Think about it. It would be difficult to build any model more complex than a hand-launched glider without music wire. True, we don't use great quantities of music wire in any one model, but it is there. And you'll find music wire parts in every kind of model airplane, from Indoor feathers through giant RC monsters, using every conceivable type of power plant, from rubber bands to glow plug to Electric to jet to non-powered sailplanes. It's surprising to find many otherwise expert model craftsmen who are at a loss when it comes to converting this remarkable material into useful components.
How to Build A Successful Newsletter
The Joy of Editing If we print jokes, people say we are too silly. If we don't, we are too serious. If we clip things from other sources, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are too fond of our own selves. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the paper is full of junk. If we make a change in the contributor's writing, we are too critical. If we don't, we are asleep. Now, most likely, someone will say we swiped this from some other publication. We did!
Circulator
THIS GLIDER WAS DESIGNED and built primarily as a flying test bed for a number of ideas that I had never tried before, but which I intend to use in future A-2 Nordic Gliders. I'm happy to say that the experiment was a complete success. The Circulator turned out to be a superb A-1 Glider in its own right. Despite the fact that-when this was written-the Circulator had yet to be flown in competition, I already considered it to be one of the most successful designs I have ever produced.
