A detailed instructional article by Bruce Lester provides step-by-step construction plans for building a Stinson 150 flying scale rubber model airplane, complete with full-scale technical drawings, materials lists, and assembly diagrams. Additional features include educational content on flight-tested flying models and fundamentals of model building, plus related aviation stories and comics.
