Continued Last mon‘tit I described the hap- hazard technique of — individual operators in logginy the Balsa trees. Having moved the logs to the river they then have to be made into rafts and floated down to the saw-mills, Nobody hurries in u country. ike Ecuador and again it is usually a matter of weeks before they arrive at the mill. Generally speaking, they are in the river for this time and luckily there fungus ceases to work: but, again, there are other varieties of worms and insects in the river ready to attack the wood and cause damage At the saw-mill there are always piles of sawdust and waste pieces lying around waiting to be pushed back into the river for dispos Again, ideal conditions for the breeding of fungus spores and you can say that immediately a log is sawn the fresh saweuts become infected, The two big mills at Beuador have batteries of kilns and as the wood is, cut it is kiln-dried to a moisture content well below that at which the fungi will work, ‘This docs not, however, prevent te-infestation by fungus spores, so that if the timber should get wet once more fungus growth can start all over again Vo make matters worse for the purchaser, in the smaller mills they cannot afford to build kilns and, therefore, the timber is air-dried. In the’ dry season things are not so bad as the wood will air-dry to below 18 per cent. moisture content in about three weeks, ‘This is quick enough, in general, to prevent For years our greatest worry was this fungus attack. Indeed, it was this which ea heavy losses in my ‘T I venture in 1948/49, where, in the humid conditions of that isiand, we just could not dry the wood fast enough to prevent serious damage When I visited an American saw rill in South Carolina a that peri ‘Santobrite i never F saw them using which is a fungicid to apply it to ‘Trinidad. A year or so later, however, when a battery of kilns thar our shippers used in Eeuador were destroyed by fire, { remembered this and actually flew “Santobrite” out to Eeuador to try it With the assistance of the Forest Products Research Laboratory. at Princes Risborough we evalyed correct methods of application which, have now solved this problem of fungus attack. The dip works by actually killing the fungus spores on the surface of the wood when sawn and by preventing fresh infection while the wood is drying. Even in the Wet season it will enable the wood to, be dried to something like 30 per cent. moisture content and still protect it while it is being brought to England and dried in our own kilts, All our wood is, in fact, treated with “Santobrite”, It is very important that Balsa- wood should be put to dey properly, and for Balsa the proper way is to crosserack it end up so that the sap runs out quickly—and so that you can get the maxirn air round the pieces, T have seen good Balsnwood spoiled by being eross-piled in a high pile, and where any two pieces crossed ‘blue stain went right through into the wood, The other important defect is Mineral Stain. This is, T think, a function of the soil conditions’ in which the tree grows, At its worst it can he very unsightly and spoil a log completely Whilst we specify that we shall hot receive wood with Mineral Stain the poor mill-owner has not X-ray eves and an otherwis ful piece of Bulsawood may have this stain right in the middle. ‘This is not his fault, but it costs us money to get rid of it in our milling operations.

Models Commission, held in Pacis last November, some pretty sweeping decisions were made in regard to furure World Championship events, Ono of the most important matiers debared was the proposal by Gyeat Britain and other countries to reveet to annual competition, thus countering. the inevitable loss of interest in those contests not scheduled for World Championship status in any particular year. Unfortunately, fon being put to the vote, the proposal was defeated by 8 votes 10 G, aid Wwe continue with the bi-annual series Prabably the most vital decision taken was grouping the three main free“Mhght categories of Rubber, Glider and Power into a combined Championships, commencing in. 1955 with Russia as the probable venue. Thus we almost achieve the Model Olympics advocated some years ago by this magazine, and we await with Interest the results of such meetings which we are confident will silence for good those Jeremiahs who loudly maintained that ‘meetings on such lines could not be condueted successfully. ‘The triple Championships at Weishaden in 1953 did much to counter such criticism, though certain organisational shortcomings on that occasion prevented # clear-cut picture being presented Te was further ayceed to grant World Championship status to three other categories of model Rying, ie. Radio Control, ‘Team Racing, and Acrobatic Control Line. For Radia, 13 delegates voted in favour, Spain bein in opposition, whilst for the other eategories 12 were in favour, with France and Great [Britain against From 1960 the Radio Control andl Control Line Championships will be held in. the same year, bur not necessarily together. It ‘would seem logical to follow the same pattern as obtains with the free-light events, and stage a combined meeting. Naturally, such increases and grouping brings: about further problems of expense und accommodation, and Russia has proposed that in fusure National teams shall consist of thres and not four tnembers. This is louical, but the official feeling in this country js that three is the absolute minimum to which teams should be reduced, and still retain any semblance of 2 “team” A tryout of the contral-line combination will rake place during the first week in September, ywher jum will stage a special mecting in connection with the World Exhibition to be held in Brussels, We understand that the contests will take place within the exhibition grounds, and they should form an inceresting guide to the future of such an embracing programme Great Britain will stage the Rubber and Power World Champion- ships. in 1958, probably at CranfieMt during the August Banke Holiday period. Whilst certain eniticisms have been levelled against holding mectings during a Bank Holiday, it must. be appreciated that the S.MLA-E, is conducted on a purely volun Jpasis, and can rarely find people with time on their hands to participate in stich activities during a working week. ‘The three-day Tank Holiday break affords a period that ean be used to advantage, for we doubt whether employers will be prepared fo grant time off to timekeepers, processors, ete., with the same willingness they would grant to’ successful team member. = On she cover As vou REAP ins, the two EPS oath delet shold be ready ior Sion nt Aare fered sistem Tabane padre ing Eiiccqpuance txt yf Stapleford the picture san BUS Gace and "ae Wighoan a the contra just betove they left Detain othe long: dcitecry haul {bso stages.High Spe Sunday, November 17th, 1957, saw a contingent of keen speed fliers at Heston Aerodrome, Micklle- sex, to witness an attempt by Ray (Gadget) Gibbs ‘on his own British and World Speed Records in the Class IL G_c.c.) class. Despite fuel separation troubles. owing to the low temperature, Gibbs managed to get in a fine run to cover the kilometer course in 14°7 seconds, producing a speed of 152-4 mop.h, (former record 146-2 m.p.h.) for the British record, and equivalent to 24 k/he, for the World Record, which formerly stood at 235 k/hr. ‘We tinderstand that the Carter Glow motor used ‘was that employed in his earlier successful attack on the record, but that an additional piston ring had been fitted. In fact, the engine is that originally reviewed in Engine Analysis in our May, 1956, From a foreign source we learn that Studeny of Czechoslovakia achieved an identical speed during Oetober but that on cheek the engine was found to be over-size. We await confirmation of this statement, but we can confidently anticipate a first class struggle between our own fliers and those from the State laboratory in Brno, for Gibbs is certain that he can get still more k.p.h.’s from his motor given more favourable conditions. Mechanising Model-making A new machine to speed research work on ultra- sonie planes of revolutionary design has been bought by Lockheed Aireraft Corporation. Lockheed is the first U.S. aircraft manuficturer to buy this new machine, named the Whaley “over-arm wing, contour machine”. Only three others have so far been built, but these are being used at the laboratories of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Langley Air Force Base, U.S.A., where all four machines ‘were designed and developed. Lockheed will use the new £10,000 machine to make wind tunnel models of ultrasonic aircraft designed to conquer the problems of the heat barrier, thus surpassing the speeds achieved by the company’s F-104 Starfighter, reputed to be the world’s fastest combat aircraft, With current methods, the aerodynamic models made for wind-tunnel tests cost the company as, much as £50,000 each to make. Mr. J.B.’ Wassall, dircctor of engineering at Lockheed’s California Division, said the Whaley January, 1958 Heard at the Hangar Doors A npleg hee i pooaeoy ts Nove Ptah ctrport hanger machine will speed model construction by nearly 40 per cent. ang appreciably cut present costs “Tt will fashion lift surfaces of wind tunnel models from all metals”, he said, “including the hardest of all—heut-treated steel”. He added: “It works. steel with micrometic precision with a minimum of template guidance at tolerances down to -003 of an inch as compared with the old process of preparing steel shapes which, besides being laborious, was good only to 0-15 of an inch”. Utilising a new variable speed cutter adjustable to all angles, the Whaley machine can transform a block of material into any wing shape— ight, tapered, swept, or concave. ‘Thus it climinates long and costly handcarving common to” previous contouring methods. Tt ako eliminates the need for an enlarged 3D pattern to be made for the final reduetion—but professional model makers can rest assured their services will always be needed for wind tunnel work. In the Balsa Jungle Ever since five young American missionaries were killed by the Auea Indians in Ecuador eighteen months ago a series of “Friendship” flights over their settlements in the jungle has been maintained by the Missionary Aviation Fellowship, ‘The full story is now the subject of “Through Gates of Splendour” by E. Elliott, and latest reportin the Manchester Guardian of November. 16th. tells how balsa is used to extend goodwill to the natives. Footprints were noticed in the mudbanks of the river Curaray, and a bright yellow Balsa model was set up to create interest. (‘I'he Missionaries use. Piper Cubs) ‘This did not attract interest, so fleets of small balsa “solids” were launched into the river. ‘There were still no responses; but the missionaries in the Balsa Jungle will persist in their efforts to reach the Aucas who watch every move from the dense, dark background.

Lone hands with the enthusiasm to build their own equipment are often frustrated, not only in regard to frequeney checking but on other aspects of radio equipment, A little advice from an experienced operator can make all the difference hetween success and failure and very often ensures the admission of another enthusiast to the ranks of radio control. We are keeping a reyister of “Radio Samarit here at the Editorial Offices, and do insist that people in nced of help frst write for an appointment. ‘The absorption wavemeter promised for this sue in “Radio Control Notes” has had to be held over to next month, meantime, any more volunteers? ok ME, Contest Results CFARROW, SIMELD twat eS parired TROPHY Grosdon BATA 38:00 2 Wishce A uarntony"” 8 nt Tsehs ot entries bannnghaca Nea C, a8 $.

Honours go to the German Aero Club for initiating this type_of contest for a layout which, unfortunately, suffers from a general lack of attention. The reason is probably that the design and trimming of a really good fying wing is no ‘easy task, and only the expert can expect to achieve outstanding results. Nevertheless, design appears to have progressed during the last ten years or so and much of this is to the eredit of the Germans. ‘The Royal Netherlands Aero Club also undertook the organisation last year when the beautiful challenge shield was won by Great Britain through, F. Smith of the Southern Cross A.C. Great Britain should have organised the event for this year, but various difiiculties arose, so that the R.Neth.A.C, offered to take it aver one more With che A/2 formula being applied to the fying swing glider from now on, total area was more than halved and, in the ease of some very large models of 1956, even less than a third this year.

The first three flights took place on Saturday afternoon Conditions were not too good, with a strong bre and intermittent ruin, ‘The wind forced the launchers to run back fast to reduce towing speed. Some models could not stand the excess speed and many cases of flutter ‘were noticed. With the quite generous A/2 weight there is no need to build ultra-light and soerific essential stiffness Dutch team member Osborne started the ball rolling by scoring a maximum, thereby acquiring a lead which he did not relinquish right through the contest. With another 113 and a flight of 90 seconds he stood at the top with 383 secs. when the day's three flights were finished. His closest rival, Boretius of Germany, stood at 245 and third man ‘Ten Hagen, Holland, at 236 secs. Holland had taken the lead with 791, with Germany second, with 671, Yugoslavia third with 522 and Great Britain fourth with 347.

However, the ruin stopped and a hurried trip made to the Iuinehing site, In the glider class, Osborne consolidated position with fights of 139 and 87 seconds, ending with the top score of 609 secs., an average of very nearly 122 seconds. Second place was taken by Boretius of the German team with 452, while Dutch team member ‘Ten Hagen—winner of the 1955 contest in Germany—scored 411, Holland proved to be the highest scoring team with 1,366 point against the German team's 1,112 points. Yugoslavia came third with 1,030, and Great Britain fourth with 646 points ‘There were many interesting and promising, designs at Terlet, but there is little doubt that Osborne’s was superior to all, both in design as well a3 in trim and towline characteristics, which were of the highest order. Next we would choose Roretius’ simple layout, which only needed stru tural improvement to eliminate flutter. Once again it was proved that a pleasing and sound layout is not enough and a great deal of time should be spent on achieving perfect trim. In the rubber class there were, unfortunately, only two entrants, but quality was very high, Here the British competitors made up what they lacked in the glider class, for Marshall made the highest score, 66+ sees. with a perfect serics of five fights all well over the 100 sees. mark: 164, 146 and 118. A really grand achievement ! Second came Schubert with a total of 398; a very creditable effort in view of the fact that he was flying with only $0 grammes of rubber. On his last flight he really got his model going and booked 133 seconds. ‘The rubber- powered flying wing strikes us as a really worth- while class which deserves more attention. Only two flew in the power-class and it proved an easy win for Klinger, who entered a beautiful high-thrust design which totalled 395 secs. over five left, another novel rubber-pomerod flying win is iate waakout: Wing Der monte ik champion it rabersmateeel iin wit cl thieh ee teks com wes 139 Soon Sehabert ured the only rub sein rather iow ining froin: Ocrmenp’ Rights.

McHard Edgar-Percival RIP+Q rue Epean Perecvar E.P.9 is not a pretty aeroplane, by virtue of its cargo carrying functions, yet its simplified structure, and careful design has produced an airframe which is’ decidedly more attractive than many of it's agricultural contemporaries, ‘The P.O (later designated E.P.9 to avoid confusion with produces irom Edgar Pereival's former works at Luton) originated from a detailed personal study of potential operator's requirements the world including U-S.A., Australia, and New Zealand, where aiceralt are extensively employed for agricultural work at which they are more eflieient thatt conventional spreaders for seedling ond dusting, Design commenced May, 1954, and the first prototyne flew on December 21st, 1953, from Stapleford Acro- drome near Abridge, Estex, with Edgar Percival at the controls Subsequent flights confirmed that the design monts had been met and in some cases excer Abounding confidence in the aeroplane reatilted ini Production line being laid down, even before any definite orders had been placed! ‘This optimisn hus since beon fully justified by the rapid deliveries which Bduar Pereivals were able to quote to the enquiries that flowed into the little factory Duspite eramped quarters, the tremendous enthusiasm of all concerned with E.P.9 production, ensures building time of only nine weeks per nircraft A design feature of the acroplane, which makes itself very evident upon becoming airborne, is the very high pilot position in relation to the engine.

Gray In our new series ‘Towanns vite END of the war Home Defence fter units were formed in Germany and were known as “Kestas’” (Kampf Einsitzer STAifel) in comparison with the Front Line fighter units known as ""Jastas” (JAgd STALic)). ‘These “Kestas” were largely equipped. with, jiemens-Schuckert D types which were covered all over with the dark lozenge fabric except for the whi fin and rudder, and’ bore white crosses on the dark surfaces, The really gaudy machines beloved of the fietion writers sere the ekeeption rather than the rule, but some toned illustrations of some single seaters of which details were obtainable are included, it being thought hat at fexe specific examples would be’ preferable to a lat Df generalisations. When bright colours were used they were applied over the camoutlage finish, It has not been possible to obtain a record of Staffel nuarkings as these Were not official but were solely the choice of the Staffel Commander and the pilots them= selves, and probably varied frequently. For those who wish {o finish a model in a more colourfill scheme, yet have it based on fact, a table is appended as « rough guide to the way some of these airerate were painted, which has bec culled from various aurobiographical writings.
