Fly Model Planes With the Wind.

As regards the flying of a model plane, the beginner has much to learn, writes William Maclean in the Everyday Engineering magazine. It shopld always be remembered that while It occurs to the average person that a model should be flown into the wind this in reality is not the case; a model should always, be flown with the wind. Another \ point to rem ember is that a scale or reproduction model can never be a long distance flyer as are types of stick models. Further, a reproduction model must necessarily have a propeller or tractor'‘screw out of proportion, as a Screw to scale is not capable of the 01 ’ necessary thrust to fly a model which must necessarily be too heavy for tto thrust developed, ,
