Chief Of Air Service
-rsuomard lunar Aviat Il

A CLEVER and original stunt for
n training student pilots to
make precision landings was in
stituted at Roosevelt Field by Paul
Gillespie. one-time naval aviator.
He placed an outline of the deck
Of the naval aircraft carrier, Sara
toga, on the field, using white SAND.
The idea was to inspire his stu
dents to make spot landing at all
times. Pilots of the Saratoga, you
know. don't have much space to
land on. They must be precise.
Well, the up-shot of Paul's whole
idea is that not only the students.
but all the pilots who use the field
have been making landings on this
imitation deck. Paul has even
printed the letters. SARA, just as
they are painted on the stern OF
the Saratoga.
It's really amusing to watch peo-
pie who ordinarily just flop into an
airdrome. now stretching out their
glides. or trying to shorten them up,
in an effort TO make landing on
the "Saratoga's s" deck.
You know. if you want to be a
safe pilot you must be able to put
your wheels down just where you
want them to be. And you must
know Just what you want to do, how
to do it :. . then do it precisely.
And this means practicel
The same thing applies to you
Junior Aviators and your model
planes. If you want to know all
about planes, what makes them do
this and that. and learn about avi-
alton, be precise in your work
whether your building. reading avn
alton books and magazines, listen
ing to your instructors or expert
menting in your workshop.
If YOUR model doesn't fly right
take it apart. do it over again-find
out what's wrong. These planes you
are building have been tested and

fault!
QUESTION = Do tri motored

Scripps- Howard Endurance r. o. @.
We are now ready to complete the
model BY building the wing and
bending the wire wing clips.
In an endurance model the wing
lisa very vital part. Upon this MEM
Der Of the plane depends its glsding
ability.
The wing for this model is made
from 1-32-inch strip balsa. The ribs
are bent over an ordinary oval
shaped tin can.
First cut the leading and trailing
edge spars which are is inches long.
Now cut seven pieces 2is inches
long for the wing ribs. The leading
edges of these pieces are bent as
nearly as possible according to the
view shown in diagram.
Use an ordinary Prince Albert,
Edgeworth or Half and Half tobacco
can to bend or shape the wing ribs
t. The proper Gambler. Scrape the
paint from the surface to be used
and punch several holes in the bot
tom TO allow for circulation of air
so that a candle will burn inside.
Bend the Can
Bend the can open so that you
can place a stub of a candle just in
side the mouth. Light the candle
and let it heat the curved top side
Of the can for about five minutes.
Taking two ribs at a time between
the thumbs and forefingers, press
against the heated surface of the
can and hold in position for about
10 seconds. The heat causes the
wood to take the curved form.
After the seven ribs are bent to
the proper shape line the leading
and trailing edge spars the proper
distances apart and cement the two
end ribs in place Place the center
one IA. lace next an dadd the 9TH
ers in ,neir respective positions, ce-
menting the ribs on top of the
spars.
This completes the main section
Of the wing and We now attach the
wing tips which are made from
l-32-inch square material as used
in the ribs and spars cut in half.
Shape the maccOrding to the dia-
gram and cement in position.
