July 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

Airplanes and Rockets - July 1969 American Aircraft Modeler     [Table of Contents]
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.

Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Here is a 3-view drawing for the 1914 Mercury Chic T-2 Plans that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the July 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the image below if plans cannot be located anywhere. The 3-view for this fine model was drawn by Mr. Björn Karlström. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Note that the vertical fin is actually an inverted "V" that supports the top pivot point of a full flying rudder. The bottom pivot point is on the fuselage. The Chic T-2 also has a full-flying horizontal stabilizer (stabilator). See specifications on the AcePilots.com website.

Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing plans also help to support the operation of the Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1 advocate for model aviation throughout the world.
