Flying Scale Models 10/2011

By the time this issue of FSM hits the newsstands, or drops through your letterbox, thoughts among readers must surely be turning toward selection of a new scale project for the Autumn/Winter building season. So what's it going to be then? In this month's issue, we present another of Australian Gary Sunderland's series of successful scale design in the shape of his new quarter-scale Nieuport 27. Whilst working through this, the point arises that, even if a particular type presented in the magazine as a construction feature does not have an immediate appeal for the reader, there is, nevertheless real value in reading and learning about the techniques the designer used in the construction of the model. Discovering how the other fella 'got away with it' makes the reading worthwhile - there's always something new to learn.
