Annual Edition 1961 American 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.
This particular page is from page 3 of the 1961 Annual issue of American Modeler magazine. Thimble Drome is no longer in operation, and Cox no longer sells model airplane engines. Cox was bought by Estes, and recently sold its entire stock of engine parts to Xenalook. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $3.98 "Bumble Bee .049" would be $28.84 in 2010 money.
