At this point I am going to break for this month. Since this is a beginner's first-time scratch-built model, the final tally came to more than 50 photographs to support the article. Not wanting to cut anything out, the editors decided to divide the Scratch-One construction article into two parts. I chose the start of covering as the logical point to make the break.

Next month is the Nationals-coverage issue, but in the January issue I will start with control-surface hinging and proceed all the way through the Scratch-One's first flights. For your convenience, the plans and specifications are included with Part One. With this information you can purchase the balsa, cut out the parts, and do the assembly work. Thank you for your patience. MA
