MODEL OF THE ELEGANT
BY ALAIN MILLON

"Modcl Reduit O Ar:o.

Aftcr all, sailplanes havc to come

dorvn someq'hcrc and to be taken
to picces and cartcd a$'ay in
cigar trailcrs back to basc and
dismantling can be a critical
item irl design.
It u'as developed from the
900 of smaller span and length
and its stanclarrl of efliciency is
renowned in thc sailplane rvorld.
It woulcl bc quite true to say
that of all the types of sailplanes
requested to be included in our
plans service, the scale sailplane
tops the bill, and in this large
span ((r7j in.) vcry high aspect
Iatio design, \'e have something
that is surc to satisfy everyone.
What a subjcct for scale Con-
cour d'Elegancc!
All credit to French designer
Alain Millon, for developing the
slower specd airfoil wing (full
size is Laminar, as seen in photo
top left and not suitable) and for
producing a modcl that rvill plcase
not only for its performance in
the air, but also for its static
appeatance,
Construction is not for be-
ginners; but anyone with experi-
ence of planking a double
curvature fuselage will have no
difficulty. The wing and tail
assernbly arc quite straightfor-
ward, but it is csscntial to build
the rving of such an aspect ratio
on a perfectly flat board.
