holds this month's feature RC project. The
Snapshot Twin is the twin-engine version of
his June 1980 Snapshot designed for RC
aerial photography. This design incorporates
a mechanism to haul and release a scale
model of the Space Shuttle glider.
Other construction features include
Michael Saponara's jetlike Auroroa—an RC
swept-back-wing project for 1/2A power using
an Ace foam wing—and James M. Petro's CL
Wing Master, which is a 1/2A profile model
that is ideal for sport flying or getting
started in CL modeling.
Don Srull invites
readers to make profile models for fun and
test. A detailed explanation of and
full-size plans for a profile Shinden are
included.
J.E. Albritton and Walt Perkins

sturdy fuselages for the Shadow IV CL Speed
model.
Dave Ritchie presents the history
of Carl V. Carlson: a famous modeler and
