Does your club want to introduce model aviation to its youth, newcomers, friends and neighbors? Does your club want to receive local recognition and benefits for being active in your community?
If you answered "yes," you will want to learn more about the AMA's TAG grant program. For more information, email Jessy Symmes or call (765) 287-1256, ext. 516.
Sir George Cayley, often called the Father of Aeronautics, designed a helicopter powered by a bow-string mechanism with feather blades (similar to the reproduction shown here). Later, he experimented by flying a model with multiple adjustable surfaces, allowing him to understand how every change affected the model’s flight. This model is a ½ scale replica of his original 1804 model. Cayley used the data from these experiments to publish his On Aerial Navigation in 1809.
