For information on indoor modelling, agood reference book is ` Building
and flying Indoor Model Airplanes' by Ron Williams - might be available from
Peck Polymers. While there I think that Bob Peck wrote a book on indoor
modelling, but I haven't seen that one.
Model builder used to publish peanut plans and info every month for a
while and I hear that they are about to start again. If you can find
someone with back issues of Model Builder they may help you.
