Le Modele Reduit D'Avion Magazine.

Thanks for that Jeremy, I hadn't thought of it. However, I may not have to do the 1450kms return drive to Melbourne, since Abe Books in Paris had 1 copy, and hopefully it's on it's way. It was a pain ordering on line, since it was in French, and although the home page could be converted to English, the pages related to ordering couldn't.
Quelle Douleur! After 1000 attempts to complete the order, pardon the hyperbole, it seems to be on its way. Mike

An added complication to this is that at some stage in these developments, Dave Hipperson was using a box full of pre-loaded F1G tubes, I assume to allow rapid changes in flyoffs (I wouldn't know much about that). I think they would then be wound in the model but it's a short step to the 'Phil Ball' full tube and then half tube.

 Bill, I agree, absolutely. Mike
