ome aircraft command an interest, as a subject for scale
modelling, out of all proportion to the numbers of that
particular type which were actually made. There is just simply
something about such examples which command an
evergreen following.
The Comper Swift, from the very early 1930s, is one such example,
popular among scale modellers for free flight, control line, radio control
and Indoor - yet only 41 examples were ever built before the Comper
Aircraft Company Ltd. folded in 1934. Even so, it was manufactured in
both radial and in-line engine variants, which gives scale modellers an
interesting choice.
Not yet bitten by the ‘Swift bug’? Well why not take a look at Phillip
Kent’s 54” electric powered model, which is the subject of one of our
construction features this month. It has certainly held Phillip’s interest
over the years; he has build three, the largest at 1/3rd scale, followed
by a smaller version - both with Gyspy inline engine configuration and
now another with Pobjoy radial for electric power.
Thanks to Richard Riding’s photo archive, we’re able to show a
nice range of examples of the full size to back up the model
construction feature.
Beyond that, we also move on this issue to the realm of the totally
obscure one-offs. Here we’re talking about the LWF-Cato Model L
‘Butterfly’ - to give the type its full title.
Never ’eard of it? Well neither had we - and there was nothing on
Wikipedia
, usually a mine of aeronautical info, although other reference
sites on the web revealed the aeronautical achievements of Californian
Mr. Joseph Cato, who had a hand in the design and construction of a
quite wide variety of early aircraft and a career in aviation from the
early 1900s right through to his retirement in 1953.
Joe Cato was certainly one of the teach-yourself, do-it-yourself true
pioneers of the Wight Brother era.
So what about the ‘Butterfly’? Well, give our Peter Rake an
obscure, early aviation subject and he’ll be away to his computer to
draw up a model - as you will see, from this month’s full size free
plan presentation.
