Default kinds of articles I would like to see in Model Aviation

There is an excellent article, eight pages long and lavishly illustrated, in the Jan. 2010 Flying Models, "Prop Checks & Balances" by Don Carkhuff. He shows construction and use of a combination prop balancer and pitch gage, and shows how to carve your own props of whatever diameter and pitch you desire.

Truss Ribs, by Jim Hiller, two pages long, shows how to make truss ribs for your wing. There are construction articles, ARF review and various columns, sort of like Model Aviation. All in 74 pages.

I realize that articles like the above are not of interest to everyone, but I think there should be more like them in Model Aviation.
