NOVAK ELECTRONICS proudly announces the introduction of the BANTAM MIDGET SERVO. By working closely with Dick Rehling, of D&R Products, we have been able to produce a servo that has the power, strength, speed, and durability to perform in any type of air­ plane. These new servos use the highly advanced Signetics 544 IC, offering internally regulated power supply, dynamic braking, linear ramp timing, and an exclusive temperature-compensated dead-band circuit. Servo reliability is further enhanced by the use of the Clarostat conductive plastic potentiometer and external silicon drive transistors.

    Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’S Note to Flightlab Students

    Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’s Note to Flightlab Students The collection of documents assembled here, under the general title “Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight,” covers a lot of ground. That’s because unusual-attitude training is the perfect occasion for aerodynamics training, and in turn depends on aerodynamics training for success. I don’t expect a pilot new to the subject to absorb everything here in one gulp. That’s not necessary; in fact, it would be beyond the call of duty for most—aspiring test pilots aside. But do give the contents a quick initial pass, if only to get the measure of what’s available and how it’s organized. Your flights will be more productive if you know where to go in the texts for additional background. Before we fly together, I suggest that you read the section called “Axes and Derivatives.” This will introduce you to the concept of the velocity vector and to the basic aircraft response modes. If you pick up a head of steam, go on to read “Two-Dimensional Aerodynamics.” This is mostly about how pressure patterns form over the surface of a wing during the generation of lift, and begins to suggest how changes in those patterns, visible to us through our wing tufts, affect control. If you catch any typos, or statements that you think are either unclear or simply preposterous, please let me know. Thanks.

New readers will find the contents a source of interest in each and every phase of the aero- modelling hobby, our aim being to present each year a plethora of articles, ideas, designs and hints and tips that will ease their path in the construction and flying of model aircraft. Comparison of national and international de­ signs and the thoughts make for a widening knowledge of this fas­ cinating hobby, and the information published annually in AERO- MODELLER ANNUAL has assisted many aero- modellers to progress from the novice to expert stage. Among the contents of this volume are two exceptionally interesting Radio Control contri­ butions by Tommy Ives and C. Olsen, both experts in this particu­ lar field, an absorbing appreciation of the cur rent m ethods of Engine Speed C ontrol by Ron Moulton; M Gasson provides a fine practical- cum-tcchnical article on the all-wing model, and well-known "Aero modeller" contributor George Cox gives many hints and tips on the art of solid modelling. Pete Russell. British expert in stunt control- line flymg, gives an interesting account of the development of his long line of highly suc­ cessful contest winning models. while Hans Neelmeiicr of Germany submits a well balanced resume of current de­ velopments in the F.A.I Power model.
