Spitfire
THE SUPERMARINE Spitfire was one of the most beautiful and deadly fighter planes of World War II. For a long time control line enthusiasts have wanted a workable model of this airplane for sport flying and mock-combat aerial demonstration. Now they can "burn up the skies" with my control line model-both "solid" and "built-up profile" concepts. These models fly beautifully and look great; a real pleasure to build, a joy to fly, and a pleasure to have. The Spitfire was conceived by the fa-
Aetos
AETOS is the Greek word for eagle, a superior bird in the air. Aetos was designed to fill the gap between the 15- and 35-sized airplane. The profile look does not stop its performance. The Aetos will help the novice to get the feel of a 35-size airplane but not at all the cost, as we all know the price of balsa wood is getting higher and higher. The wing span is 42 inches, which means you don't need to have a large car to go to the flying site. Construction: After studying the plans carefully, make patterns out of thin cardboard, like chipboard or gift boxes. Glue the patterns on the cardboard, then cut the pattern out. Fine sand the pattern edge so you will make a smooth line with a felt tip or ball-point pen.
Megas Aetos
MY ARTICLE for a model named Aetos (a Greek word meaning eagle) for a Fox .25-size engine was printed in the March 1979 Model Aviation. This plane was intended to be gap-filler before going to a larger size plane.
