uncovered portions of the woodwork continued to the centre of the two diamonds. The two straight pieces noticed across the diamond of the main plane are to strengthen the fu-elage. I claim that the diamond slrei gthens the planes ; wires can be fastened thereto for a full-sized 'plane. The diamond also helps to sustain the mono plane in the air as the air rushes through. I am willing and would be very pleased to give a demonstration with my model upon appoint ment with any bond fide aviation firm. Eccles. " REDIVALLS." Model Monoplane. fii07] \ Enclosed you will find a rough working drawing of a monoplane of my own design, which I have just com pleted. The cost was only gd., as I had most of the materials at hand at the time I started (they being left over when I made another model a few weeks ago). The wood used was American bentwood, which I obtained from H. Fentum Phillips and Co., which cost 6<2. (24 ft., T\ in. by T% in.). Hoping this may be of some use to your readers and thank ing you for the useful information in FLIGHT (from which I have got most of my knowledge of models, &c). Brockley. F. G. PETER. The Baxter Model. [1108] In a back number of FLIGHT (Vol. II. No. 30) appears a letter No. 948, in which Mr. Baxter gives measure ments of a miniature model. Perhaps you will allow me to ask^him at this late date to kindly let me know through your columns some further particulars of the construction. Possibly he would be good enough to publish working draw ings and state the materials used for the different parts. * I enclose a small model of my own design and construction that has proved a fairly successful flyer. It is made of bent fretwood and the planes are covered with grease-proofed paper. Macclesfield. C. C. HORNER. Model Construction. [1109] May I ask some of your readers to help me with their advice as to how I should best bend the ribs of a mono plane having a chord of 20 ins. and a span of 6 ft, Geelong, Victoria, Australia. H.
