About the book/synopsis: Ducted fan powered models of gas turbine powered protoypes have definitely come of age. From slightly tentative beginnings, these models are now capable of impressive performances and speeds in excess of 125mph (200 kph). These vast improvements in performance have been due principally to the development of more suitable engines with high output efficiencies. In this book, David James explains how to obtain the best and most consistent performance from these 'hot' engines and discusses their operation, installation, servicing, fuels and gloplugs, and the adjustments to make. Illustrated with black & white photos, diagrams and illustrations. Includes tables of data. Chapters: |

About the Book: The book asks and answers the question 'What is vintage?' and follows this with an international history of model flight; how to choose a vintage plane comes next looking at whether to follow a kit or a plan, conventionally or in an unorthodox manner; then it provides details on building and covering your model aircraft and how to engine and fuel it. Of course you'll then want to fly your plane and you can find tips on flying in here, with practical advice on control surfaces, trimming, undercarriage design for take-off and landing, engine thrustline requirements and the dangers of vibration. Is illustrated with black & white photos, illustrations and diagrams (some with measurements given) This book even covers flying your model in vintage contests and the practical use of vintage R/C equipment today. Includes at the end two tables of particularly useful radio control and design data on models around at the time of publication (1989), such as the Rudder Bug, Radart, Thermal Snifter, Keilkraft Falcon, K. K. Junior 60, HBRC-1 Original, Southern Maid, Veron Stentorian, WP 58, Ethy II, The Charm, HBRC-2, Frog Centurion, Hook Bros, ECC, Charm, Court, Warring. Gives name of designer, type of model (e.g. cabin, shoulder, or h-wing), motor used (e.g. Delong 30 or Ohlson), CC, wingspan dimensions, coverings, and much more. Chapters:
