| Down load this page to your printer or to a floppy disk,mount onto thin card with spraymount adhesive and cut out the parts with scissors or craft knife,give the wings a slight curve by rolling over sorbo rubber or similar with a domestic rolling pin or a silk screen printers roller obtainable from art shops etc.To assemble the model use small amounts of uhu adhesive applied with a cocktail stick and position parts with tweezers.To fit the tailplane cut a slot into the fuselage and fold one half of elevator back onto its self,slip into place and tack glue in situ.The centre section strut is represented with a clear piece of plastic such as from packaging items,if you prefer struts can be made from cocktail sticks cut to size and pointed ends glued into small holes in the top and bottom wings,undercarriages can also be made up from the cocktail sticks if desired.Prototype models have also been made by mounting pattern onto thin balsa wood as an alternative to card,the small balsa bundles obtainable from model shops are ideal for this purpose. FLYING INSTRUCTIONS-Balance model where shown on the drawing with small amount of modelling clay,aim for a flat glide and adjust the elevator by bending between warm fingers,also correct any turning tendency with rudder or with slight bending of the wingtips one up the other down to represent aileron effect,above all have fun with your miniature air fleet and watch these pages for more models at intervals. |
