Freelance simulated flight model - Tony Homden  

This model being an Aeroplane Constructor model set on a beam and controlled by remote joystick and rudder - to give the flying effect. A useful structural idea was the twin vertical roller bearing which carried the full weight of the aeroplane and counterweights. A 5 1/2” circular girder forms the outer ring and an artillery wheel the inner, the rollers being ¾ inch flanged wheels located on a fabricated ring of curved strips. This model was very well received and worked very well, the prop being driven by a flexible shaft (spring card) from an Emebo motor. All movements were readily available, and more than one could be operated together to give a very good impression of flight.
