MASTER MODELER Bob Schlosberg shared a photo of his
beautiful rubber-powered Pitcairn Mailwing. He is using a 9 x 11
propeller finished from a Superior Props blank. Bob’s other biplane is
based on the Negabipe—a Bostonian designed by John Tudor and
published in the March 1983 Flying Models. Bob enlarged the
Negabipe to 31 inches in span and made some changes to the wing
planform.

DIME SCALE MODELS: It amazes me how the model-airplane
designers of the 1930s could produce an airplane from a few bits of
balsa that was as easily recognizable as a full-scale airplane. Dime
Scale models have a unique niche in the history of Scale-model-aircraft
design. They have just the right blend of realism and simplicity.

TOM ARNOLD buiLT a beautiful Ki-100: the radial-engine version
of the Japanese Tony. From the top, you can see the Ki-100’s Tony
heritage, with the long wings and skinny fuselage married to that big
radial engine. The wings are the cracked-rib type, with an internal spar
of 1/32 sheet topped with pieces of 1/16 x 1/8 between the ribs on the top,
forming a T-beam.
