Plastics for Modellers by Alex Weiss

Plastics for Modellers by Alex Weiss

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of plastics in the many and varied fields of modelling. Various types and forms of plastics are described and their useful characteristics, strengths and weaknesses are detailed over the more commonly used materials such as wood and metal.

Alex Weiss has been aeromodelling for half a century and has built more than fifty radio-controlled models of which 28 were original designs and 14 were published in RCM&E or Radio Modeller magazines. As well as monoplanes and a biplane, the list includes an autogyro, canards and deltas. He has also written magazine articles on subjects as diverse as four stroke engines and flutter. The author first went solo in a Chipmunk with his University Air Squadron at Tangmere and his early adult life was spent as an RAF pilot, flying Jet Provosts, Vampires and Hunters, including three years as a qualified flying instructor. Much of his professional experience has been dedicated to the complex subject of teaching people to fly radio controlled models.
