Model Aeroplaning is one of the most fascinating and instructive of sports.
Thousands of young men and boys have formed Model Aero Clubs and organized Flying Contests throughout the country.
"MODEL FLYING MACHINES" of the _Arts and Sciences_ series is the only book giving reliable data and instructions for the construction of practical Model Aeroplanes.
IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER, this is the book that you ought to have. It will start you right. It tells how to build seven different types of machines, starting with the simplest Monoplane and finishing with several Long Distance Racing Models.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MODEL AEROPLANING, this book will prove the one you have been looking for. Gives valuable "Kinks". Tells how to carve propellers, make winders, adjust and fly machines, etc. Fully illustrated with large size, detailed working drawings, showing the exact size of each part. Twelve full-page plates.
Printed on first-class paper. Heavy cover in three colors.
Sent postpaid by return mail upon receipt of 25 cents.

Written in a very clear and simple style, the book is invaluable to a beginner. He will be able with its aid to construct simple apparatus of the latest and approved type. The instruments described in the book have been the subject of considerable experimental work and special study. They are modeled along simple lines so that they will be easy and inexpensive to construct, but at the same time combine features which make them very sensitive and capable of receiving or transmitting messages greater distances than some more complicated apparatus.
*THIS BOOK, CONSIDERING ITS WORTH, IS A GIFT AT 25c.*
There are no old or obsolete forms of wireless apparatus discussed, but only the latest types of tuning coils, receiving transformers, fixed condensers, keys, spark coils, detectors, etc. The book is illustrated by numerous detailed working drawings giving all dimensions. Several full-page views of the apparatus enable the beginner to fully comprehend the text.
*THE MOST THOROUGH AND COMPLETE ELEMENTARY WIRELESS*
*CONSTRUCTION BOOK PUBLISHED*
The pages on the construction and installation of aerials will be found to be of considerable help to the experimenter, for it is here that the most trouble is experienced by the beginner. The practical and helpful information on this subject is alone worth several times the cost of the book.
