I've tried to get all the major articles, all the three views, and all the plans. However, this is a work in progress and I find

that sometimes I miss things, or I may be inconsistent about what makes the cut and what doesn’t. If you found it

somewhere else, you may find a more up to date version of this document in the Exotic and Special Interest/ Free Flight

add your name. Loans or scans of the missing issues would be very much appreciated, although not strictly necessary,

since, after issue 70, I'm only missing 294 and 295. Before issue 71, I only have pdf files. Many thanks to Jim Zolbe for a

Fascinating experimental conversion of a

was to permit greater takeoff weight, shorter

jettison the upper wing to gain the speed

advantage of the monoplane configuration.

Only one was built and it never saw combat.

As drawn, wing appears to be slightly

Also, the left wing is drawn very slightly longer

Leon Bennett na

article,

Isaac Newton was full of baloney about torque,

because you could only fly in a balloon back

then, and they don't have any. "Torque is

whatever you want it to be, so why sweat it."

(Note that small hot air balloons were not

common in Europe during Newton's time and

he died before the advent of manned balloon

flights. Or, at least, generally acknowledged

ones. -LR)

Nov-01 vicious shooting incident anonymous na drawing

I think I saw this one in an old magazine

someplace, may be Air Trails. A mean looking

but nattily dressed guy carrying a satchel is

hanging from a parachute. Somehow he

manages to shoot another guy in the back,

even though his arm is bent, and the other guy

is falling past without a parachute. Meanwhile

a DC-3 goes by in the background. On the

back cover. Those old mags were bloodthirsty!

Ode to Don DeLoach

Wings are more efficient if elliptical

But that isn't especially practical

From a structural point of view.

Tapered wings built well won't fracture

And are easier to manufacture.

Elliptical wings we thus eschew.

Unless we're building for Flying Aces

A scale design that by rules places

the design in WWII.

Spitfires, Heinkels then are practical,

Notwithstanding wings elliptical

And might beat your F-4U

Pseudo Dimer Stew Meyers 18.8 scale plan

Could be an FAC legal dime scale (as of

2018) if you shrunk it to 16 inches and made a

couple of changes. Based on the old Comet

Spartan Fighter plan

Vance corresponds with Rich Weber about

any military really innocent?. Vs. the charisma

of certain designs, such as the Yokosuka

much damage, though)

that a B-58 with 4 props that can fly much at

all will still be very tough to beat. ;-)
