Latest User CommentsSorry Ted, some of these issues were scanned ages ago and stripped of most of the ads and non-boating articles. It's just the way it was done at the time. If anyone has a complete copy and can scan and share the missing pages, we'll happily add them?Mary : Model Maker 1956/06 June : RCL#2393 : 19/01/2019
Love your web sites, there seems to be a couple (at least) of pages missing at the end, no 323 or 324 or ?
Pozdrowienia od " blizniaka"/ Greetings from your "twin".
I've just read about Power Scale Soaring in the special Winter 2018 issue of RCME. It confirms my emphasis on decreasing drag more so than decreasing weight because those models of full-size power planes have to have the smoothest possible surfaces, which are described in great detail, in order to soar because they simply don't have high aspect ratio wings, except for the models of airliners. Also, the article describes their greatly varying weights for the exact same designs of Hurricanes, which means that the decrease of weight doesn't mean as much as the decrease of drag. Then again, I suppose that almost anything could soar if launched from the Great Orme :)
Hello - I am an aeromodeller in Australia and if time permits I hope to build a model that is featured in Airtrails Sept 1941. Discovering your site and finding this issue in your free library is a wonderful resource. Thank you very much.
Really pleased to see this magazine appearing on the RC Library. I remember subscribing to Flying Models in the early 1960s when it only published every two months, it took a fair chunk of my paper-round money, but was well worth it. Sadly my collection has long been lost, so here's hoping the present guardians of collections of this excellent magazine can delight us with more issues.
Just added a replacement version of this title, thanks to psh. For those with stiff necks ;)
Haha! I know what you mean about the twisting & turning, Miguel :) But as you say, we're just really REALLY grateful to the people who do the hard work of scanning all these old magazines & books for us.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you and your families have a joyful Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous new year. I'll be taking a short break over the festive season, so please be patient if it takes longer than usual for me to reply to your queries. Mary xx
Apologies!!! I messed up the download link for today's RCM (December 1981). I fixed it just now and it should work as normal. Mary x
I'm going on holiday tomorrow, will return in a week. Steve will be checking my inbox, but if you write to us and don't hear back for a while, don't worry! Mary x
I recently had an interesting email exchange with Michael Jones, who's looking for information about, or scans of, the British aeromodelling magazine, 'Model Aviation'. According to Michael, "Ron Moulton had one of his designs published in it, so it must have been quite a respectable publication. The magazine seems to have been started just after the War in 1946, and the latest plan date is 1950 - so it was up and running for about 4 or 5 years. Publishers were Ian Allan Ltd, who also published the Model Aviation Planbook. Aeromodeller price at the time was 1/3, so magazine price would have been about the same. One control line plan was priced at 4/-. Magazine content was various - free flight, control line, jetex, rubber power, glider - but no radio control. Some of the plans are tracings or copies of US designs - Luscombe Silvaire, Cumulus, Hotshot. Some of the older modellers may have copies. If so, it would be nice to have some details." If anyone out there knows more, or has scans of any issues, please email me. Thanks in advance, Mary
