Matt, I have most of the Wings/Airpower magazines from that era and an index for them. If you could give the particular issue or author I might be able to find it.

I see a Vega and a 195 but the one in the middle must be a Methodist.

I've tried to do collaborative builds but it seems like life gets in somebody's way and all of it ends up with me anyway.

I have very detailed plans for the LC in 1/3 scale that would work for that. Could have laser cut parts cut for it without too much more work. They include all of the tail and cowl variations for...

It's a Curtiss Challenger and it was a bad idea. They left out the center bearing a twin row radial normally has so the cylinder banks are close together. But it is still a twin row made of two 3...

RE: Fly Eagle Jet F-14 Crash (video)

I'm not a jet guy, but for all flying tails it is normal for the pivot point to be close to 40% MAC. 23% seems very far forward.

RE: Scaling to Keep Flying Characteristics

At that size it's all about Reynold's number. But until the wing chord is over 10 inches it always is, in my experience.

RE: Scaling to Keep Flying Characteristics

Iron Dog, the article you linked to is to scale airfoil thickness. If you do have a link to a scale effect related article that would be great, and thanks for the link to the RCM page.

RE: Plans for J-3 or L-4 Cub

Thanks, Jim. I've done a lot of work on a 1/4 scale version but I haven't got them done. I'd like to replicate the centersection with two part wings but haven't got that sorted yet in a simple to...

RE: Plans for J-3 or L-4 Cub

I published 1/6 scale Cub plans many years ago in Scale R/C Modeler and worked pretty hard to make it exact scale. The prototype even had a trimmable in flight stabilizer. I still have the plans...

RE: Scaling to Keep Flying Characteristics

I've gotten so used to watching models fly that I guess I just accept the speed most model Mustangs fly like as the norm. I wasn't really talking about scale speed in my earlier post, but that the...

RE: Too much washout on twin, expect what??

You are probably right that a perfect design might not need washout, but is does often improve handing, and most airplanes are designed and stressed for upright flight. Another method is a creative...

RE: TWIN, INLINE, DUCTED FAN'S = TWICE THE TAILPIPE VELOCITY?

There was a two rotor ducted fan on the market in the old days, and it failed to deliver anything like the promised thrust, no better than a single rotor from what I remember. Both rotors were on...

RE: Wing/Aileron Flutter

When I looked at the video what I saw was structural failure due to simple overload, not flutter. It happened too slowly.

RE: Scaling to Keep Flying Characteristics

I agree that is a good resource. One other factor he did not address is mass distribution. In full scale airplanes the major weights are generally located closer to the CG than in models. In other...
