About this book:
Nostalgia rules, O.K.! Answers to the question 'What is Vintage' are followed by an international history of model flight; choosing a vintage subject [kit or plan, conventional or unorthodox, functional or shapely] is covered next, with details on building and covering, engines and fuels. Then flying, with practical advice on control surfaces, trimming, undercarriage design for take-off and landing, engine thrustline requirements and the dangers of vibration. Flying in vintage contests and vintage R/C equipment and its practical use today are also included in this essential handbook for all those who were around in vintage times and those who would like to have been!
