tested were within 9 miles per hour
of the required S5-rnile-per-hour mini
mum, Lieut.. Rounds said.
In the minimum gliding speed tests
the flights were made with engine on.
The CurtiSs entry showed a,Speed Of
37.1 miles per hour, while the Handley
Page was IL miles over the required SO
miles per hour. In the landing tests
the CurtisS stopped within 80 feet OF
the place where the wheels first touched
the ground and the Handley Page in 81
feet.
Landing over the obstruction, the
CurtiSs stopped 293 feet from the base
of the obstruction and the Handley
Page 800 feet. The Curtiss required a
take-of run of 295 feet and the Hand
ley Page 290 feet. In the take-off over
the obstacle the Curtiss required the
full 500 feet, while the British entry, Of
lighter wing loading and power loading,
got off in 440 feet
The gliding angle tests were the most
difficult of all to determine accurately.
Lieut.. Rounds said, and, after repeated
variations in the figures, 1t was deter
mined to announce no definite figures.
though both remaining competitors were
well within the required limits.
Pilots Enjoyed Arguments.
"The part of the tests which were
enjoyed most by the test pilots" Lieut..
Rounds said, "were the arguments ever
stability and control of the competing
planes"
Neither of the planes, he said, was
entirely satisfactory in demonstrating
its ability to recover from unusual
attitudes without assistance of the pilot
Referring to the ultimate victory of
the Curtiss entry, Lieut.. Rounds said
that he believes without question that
veloped the plane, he said, deserved
great credit for their work.
In addition to conducting the official
tests, Lieut.. Rounds said, tests were
conducted to determine the precise eff
feet of the operation of the slots and
flaps on the CurtiSS plane. With the
slots open, lowering of the flaps de-
creased the speed of the plane 4
miles per hour, he said With the slots
closed, moving of the flaps up and
down caused a variation in speed OF
6 miles per hour. Opening and clos
ing of the slots gave a difference of 81
miles per hour. The slots and flaps
Lieut.. Rounds said, undoubtedly are de-
vices which permit lower landing speeds
A second of the three off1cial test
pilots, selected as being the finest test
flyers in the country, was Capt. Thomas
Carroll, former chief test pilot OF the
National Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics, who now Is in charge of the de-
velopment of Washington Airport from

Very few realize the interest.
both instructive and educational,
attached to planning and con-
structing models of an airport, the
ingenuity necessary to devise life
like miniatures and effects re-
sembling actual conditions and
situations at a modern air termi-
nal.
There is the erection of han
CARS, hotels, terminal buildings,
flying schools and dormitories,
the realistic runways and field
construction and the lighting fix
lures that go to make up the
modern aviation field.
Miniature Port Described.
In this particular contest of
CurtiSs Steinberg Airport, the
building group contained two
large repair base hangers, four
service hangers also used for
school purposes and four large
hangers for tranScontinental air
lines and other services. School
buildings with a campus and
group of instructors residences
and a dormitory were another
group of buildings which the
modelerS may construct.
The terminal building was an
outstanding feature of the air
port. and was located at. the, end
of a plaza leading to the exhibit
ton hall, where aviation manu-
facturers exhibited products.
Lighting fixtures, such as revolv-
ing beaconS, floodlightS, boundary
lights and obstruction markers,
are all left up to the imagination
and ingenuity of the model
maker, using glass beads to reflect
light rays and reveal the proper
effect Of lighting.
Making Ports Is Interesting.
The making of model airplanes
has held the imagination and in
terest of many model-makers, but
the variety of detail, planning
and construction of the various
necessary items in a model air
port are just as interesting and
much more so to many in the
matchmaking field.
| When model terminal features
begin to take shape and the real
iStic features take on an almost
lifelike appearance in miniature
then much of the patience and
! ingenuity is rewarded with the
thrill of accomplishment for the
model airplane pilot.
