(/OCHT] NOVEMBER 19, 191a. I am not in favour of model aeroplanes with the main plane leading ; having made three models of well - known monoplanes, which I cannot say have PB»>euo«» been anv use at all> IVUONC yet the first biplane I made was a fair success. However, I en close rough sketch of Wright biplane (a type which is a good flyer in models) which I think Mr. Pugh will find to be a good flyer if he constructs as sketch, which should cause machine to tilt slightly frontwards when holding by the front edge of the top main plane. He should try to keep weight down under 5 ozs. if possible for the complete model. Haydock. TOM BROWN. MODEL CONSTRUCTION. [906] I have pleasure in enclosing a photo of a model Farman which I have just completed. It is driven by an elastic motor, having 21 skeins of elastic. The propeller is a Gamage 7-inch. Up to now I have had every success with the model; it will run on smooth ground and then raise itself about 5 ft. from ground and fly for 70 feet. The motor takes 3 separate skeins of elastic, and 7 on each, amounting to 21, which I purchased from A. Melcombe, Bedford, for 4T. 6d. The main planes are 2 ft. 6 ins. long. I am now about to start a Bleriot cross-Channel type. Lewes. SYDNEY A. MALVISI. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. Catalogues. Gnome Moteurs d'Aviation. Society des Moteurs Gnome, 49, Rue Lafitte. Paris.
