"Model Kngineer" Trials—All competitors who have not yet received admission tickets for Hendon should apply to the hon. sec. at once. Any reader wishing to see these trials, which should prove very interesting, especially the power-driven contest, can witness same by paying the usual admission fee of is. to the aerodrome—this will admit them to the course. Aero Exhibition, 1014.—The hon. sec. will be pleased to receive any sug-f estions (from members and leaders) for competitions to be held, so that they can e laid before the council at their next meeting. Membership and Annual Subscriptions.—Members who have not sent their subscriptions for 1913 are asked to forward themat once and so help facilitate the work of the Association. The council hope all members will endeavour to extend the membership, and will introduce at least one new member each before Xmas. Subscriptions paid now carry membership till January, toti;. Official Trials.—The next official trials will take place on the ground of the Paddington and District Ae. Club, on Saturday, Nov. 22nd. v/, Victory Road, Wimbledon. W. H. AKEHURST, Hon. Sec. seems to favour wire, but it would seem there is danger of electrical induction during storms from the atmospherical electricity; one member states that he has seen sparks taken from such a cord during a storm. The remedy for that would be insulation or rubber gloves ; in addition to that, gloves should always be worn to protect the hands from possible cutting, chiefly whilst getting the kite up. Answers to Correspondents. E. WILSON.—We are much obliged for your communication, and will make use of it in due course. M. H. PEACOCKE.—Shall be pleased to insert later on. H. E. HERVEY.—We should be much obliged if you could send us some rough scale drawings, as well as photo sent; also particulars of gossamer proofing. R. T. GOODCHILD.—That your model which flies straight or fairly so should curve off to one side (the right) does not strike us as curious. It would certainly be curious if it did not, as it would mean you had two perfectly identical propellers, save for the pitch, arranged accurately about the axis of symmetry. We do not see that the fact that the propellers are revolving inwards in one case and outwards in the other need of necessity affect it. Perhaps, however, some of our readers will describe any curious effects they may have observed when the propellers are interchanged. The model referred to flies main plane first, and flies best when the propellers turn inwards. GODWIN.—The terms to which you refer are fully explained in FLIGHT, November 12th issue, 1910, page 936. 0. HAMILTON.—Personally we do not think it1 would be of the slightest use, but by all means write as you suggest. A Pioneer Worker in Model Aviation. —Mr. C. Fleming Williams claims to be the originator of (1) twin propeller duration model, (2) rubber lubricant, (3) propeller wind ing by geared drill, (4) propellers be hind tail type, (5) hollow spars made in two sections, (6) first model hydro plane off water. (7) the system of float planes as separate attach ments to floats to form hydroplanes. H56 ® ® AFFILIATED MODEL CLUBS DIARY. CLUB reports of chief work done will be published monthly for the future.
