Il determined to carve out little

They've been sniping after altitude
records, glider records and what not
and now they're experimenting
with parachutes in a large manner.
If you remember, a year or so
ago they dropped man further
than ever has been attempted
this Russian dropped off four-an-
a-half miles above the earth and
permitted gravity to take care OF
his progress until he was five or six
hundred feet above the ground. His
fall through free air required about
two minutes.
This jumper may have attained a
speed somewhere around 200 miles
an hour while falling through the
rarified atmosphere in the higher
attitudes, but when he got down
around respectable attitudes he
slowed down to approximately 12O
miles an hour. Consequently, the
Jolt suffered by the Russian aviator
could not have been much more Sc

rienced by man jumping from
5000 feet and opening his chute at
about 100 feet.
Our Army Air Service carried out
some experiments on this some
years ago and found that fall
ing human body could only attain
a speed of about 100 miles an hour
at low attitudes, say under 5000 feet.

SCRIPTS HOWARD COMMERCIAL BIPLANE

I Asst week We started the con-
II struction of the Scripps- How
ard Biplane fuselage model. Junior
AviatOrs who have followed the in
structions to date are now ready to
complete the model by building the
wing and the tail unit
TAIL UNIT-The complete tail
unit is built from lis inch square
balsa. The Stabilizer croSsbar is one
piece and is cemented to the in
side of the rudder king post where
it joins the upper side of the flu
selage. Scrape the paper away
from the longerons and cement the
inside stabilizer pieces in position.
Cut and cement the other stabilizer
pieces in place and cover on both
sides with japanese tissue.
Cut the rudder pieces and cement
in place and cover both sides with
japanese tissue.
WING-The leading edges are cut
from ; inch square balsa, the trail
ing edges from 1-16 inch square and
the ribs and lips from 1872 inch nat
balsa Cut 16 wing ribs. Construct
the wings according to the dia-
gram, allowing a = inch dihedral
angle. Cover on both sides with
japanese Tissue The lower wing is
cemented directly to the fuselage
at the rib point. Scrape paper away
and cement the lower part Of the
rib to the longerOn. Cut the struts
from 1872 inch fiat balsa as illus
trated and cement in position to
the upper wing and then to the
fuSelage and the lower wing.
MOTOR-The motor consists of
one loop of 1-16 inch fiat rubber
and one loop of ; inch fiat rubber
ASSEMBLY-Attach the rubber
to the motor stick.
FLYING-Wind the motor about
so times and launch it by hand. If
it fails to act properly, adjust it
by adding a little weight either on
the nose or tail. After it is adj
juSted, wind it with winder to its
maximum and launch r. o. G..
When the ship is covered, the
builder might have a little difficulty
adjusting the motor stick but by US
ing long nOsed pliers, this can be
readily accomplished.
