. . .  Cover . . .

There is considerable interest out there in CO2 power, and we do receive requests for back issues featuring Fritz Mueller's series on the subject. In so doing, we ran across this issue from October 1994 and the statement, "It would be so nice to present these pictures in full color....perhaps, some day...." So here's "some day," and it's hard to believe 16 years have passed. We haven't heard from Fritz in quite a while but perhaps this issue will bring him out for our "Hi" and "Thanks again, Fritz!"

The above is an example of the banner-type advertising that YOU can use to accomplish TWO objectives:
1) you can promote your business and 2) you can help keep the Windy Sock on-line! The rates are quite cheap; some of the cheapest advertising you can find on or off of the Web. User-supplied graphics can be used, also. So, if you want to be a part of all this, just click to Contact Joe and let him know!

Two color schemes for the Fairchild 24; they will make your model stand out from the herds of this classic that are flying out there. Yes, the RAF version does have an inline engine and this month's plan features a radial power plant, but the modification should not be difficult. And by chance, there could have been a Fairchild 24 in the RAF with a radial engine. Joe Fergusson, are you listening?

A neat view of the interior of a Fairchild 24 cabin. We would not normally expect control sticks rather than wheels in side-by-side seating, but it probably happened often in Golden Age days. And we wonder what that panel behind the right control stick does. Does anybody know? These Fairchild views have been taken from the Internet. There were no restrictive legends and no one was trying to sell them as far as we know. Our apologies if the situation is otherwise.
