The link to the Mantis History article does not work for me. Are
others also having this problem?

PS: Gordy . . . . I have subscribed to RCSD. But my
December issue has not arrived yet, and I'd just like to see this
article

Subject: [RCSE] "Did you see
December's RCSD?!"
WOW! :-)
Highlights of the December 2003 issue:
- The subject of Bill & Bunny Kuhlman's "On the 'Wing..." column
is Jochen Haas' Taborca 3. As well as being featured on the cover of
RCSD, the Taborca 3 is examined in detail within this monthšs
column. An American source for the LET Model kit is also provided. The
cover photo shows Taborca 3 being launched at the Teck hills in
southwest Germany. A color 8x10 "poster" of the cover photo can be
downloaded from this link.
- Last month, the front and back covers of RCSD featured
the Mantis. As promised, we provide its history this month. Written by
Anker Berg-Sonne, the story unfolds beginning with the evolution and
concluding with interesting developments which are curently underway.
Between the beginning of the Mantis to it's current state of evolution,
Anker talks about the major changes that occured during the Barnes era,
the Luckenbach influence, the Drela revolution, and Phil Barnes who came
to the rescue, again. The complete article is available as a single PDF
file by downloading from this
link.
- For those of you looking for Christmas or gift ideas throught the
year, several members of the creative RCSD team have written a
detailed article on the subject. Coordinated by Dave Register, the
shopping list includes neat shop items, major projects, and a bunch of
stuff in-between! Writers Bill & Bunny Kuhlman, Dave Garwood, Greg
Smith, and Dave Register started their shopping early!
- The Golden Age of model aviation, in the mind of Alvin Sugar, was
the period roughly between 1965 and 1975, and hešs written a book to
better explain his philosophy on the subject. This month, Bill &
Bunny Kuhlman provide a review on Mr. Sugar's book, which includes tips,
ideas and suggestions for anyone involved in the RC sailplane hobby.
- When it comes to in-depth technical design and analysis, Mark Drela
is no stranger to the sailplane community! And, he keeps track of
anything sailplane related that crosses his path. Beginning last month,
Mark shared his findings and analysis on "Skin Sizing of Stressed-Skin
Wings." This month Mark covers the elastic modulus of common foams.
Technical editors Bill & Bunny Kuhlman were pleased to have the
opportunity to be in on the technical review of Mark's material, prepare
the formatting for RCSD and, needless to say, get first read on
Mark's articles!
