May 1972 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.
MAY 1972 VOL. 74, NO. 5

We don't often watch a high-powered comĀpetition free-flight model take off toward the camera. Here Bill Hunter's 600 square incher screams aloft with vengeance. Photo by the Ortmans.
