currently, issues 175 (May/Jun 1997) thru 274
(Nov./Dec. 2013), plus partial of a couple of earlier
issues
I've tried to get all the major articles, all the three views, and all the plans. However, this is a work in progress and I find
that sometimes I miss things, or I may be inconsistent about what makes the cut and what doesn’t. I tend to leave out
ads, announcements that get too close to ads (usually), contest announcements, and such. Contest reports, kanone lists,
etc. I include. Starting sometime, I think, in 2010, plans were bound into the newsletter. Before that, they came in an
envelope with the newsletter but not attached to it, although in the late '80s there weren't so many and they were bound
in the newsletter. Or, at least, that's as much as I know from my own collection of newsletters. Send corrections to
lincolnr "at" rcn "dot" com. Also, if you contributed something, and I've got you listed as "anonymous", please let me
know and I'll add your name. Loans or scans of the missing issues would be very much appreciated.

One of his men has no hair or neck and, given
brow ridges, would make a good Neandertal.
At the end, our handsome hero, now in suit

Sep-13 Ode to Don Deloach Grant Carson na poem
can't resist quoting it here!
Ode to Don DeLoach
Wings are more efficient if elliptical
But that isn't especially practical
From a structural point of view.
Tapered wings built well won't fracture
And are easier to manufacture.
Elliptical wings we thus eschew.
Unless we're building for Flying Aces
A scale design that by rules places
the design in WWII.
Spitfires, Heinkels then are practical,
Notwithstanding wings elliptical
And might beat your F-4U
