IftlGHT MODELS. Model Construction. [1360] Perhaps the accompanying photographs of a large model may be interesting to your readers. It is fitted with a J-h.p. petrol engine and carries 44 sq. ft. of area. Between the top and bottom imain planes is a triplane elevator, which I have arranged to work automatically for balance. The engine, coil and accumulator are fitted 10 ins. below the bottom plane, thus giving pendulum stability. In fr< nt of the planes are two propellers. The span is 6 ft. and the overall length 8 ft. Macclesfield. F. M. STONE. I1361] Enclosed is a sketch oi an improvement in elastic motors, H s *n <Wrr. SPRING BRACKtT consisting of a spiing bracket introduced into the anchorage of the elastic, which I have found to be of some advantage in actual practice. H. S. MCOUSLEY. [1362] A model with which I have been able to get flights of 200 tt. is illustrated in the accompanying sketch. The planes are .made of stiff bamboo, fastei.ed with cupper wire and covered with light paper. They are not cambered, but they have a distinct G B Peterson dihedral, and the Vee of the elevator is more pronounced than that of the main planes. The propeller seems very large for the model, but gives excellent results. I have found that the heads of brass tacks with holes driven through them make very satisfactory bearings. How could this model be made to fly faster and farther ? California. G. B. PETERSON. SEPTEMBER 16, 1911. "FLIGHT" ART PAPER EDITION.
