Back Issue MB Search

[Thermaler]

I am hoping someone can help my nail down the back issue of Model Builder that had a picture of two Airtronics Aquila XL's flanking an Airtronics Super Esprit.
Part of the caption read "gentle giants of days gone bye"
I am thinking it was a June issue between 84 and 96. The picture was on the upper left corner of the left hand page of the Soaring column.
Anybody willing to do a little research? That will be the easy part, then I need to get a hold of that issue.

Thank You VERY much,
Hell's Mutt

Hi Thermaler -

I actually have my MB collection out looking for something as well. Any other possible hints as to which year you're looking for? Cover shot, other articles will help sort it out. E-mail me direct at nankivil@covad.net and I'll see if I can find it.

Good Health and Good Lift! Mark

I wish I could Mark. Best I can recall is a June issue between 84 and 96 in the Soaring column.
Thank You for the attempt though.

Greetings!

Ask and you shall receive.... Look for the June, 1992 issue of Model Builder, page 31 center right of page. The cover of the magazine has a photo of a model rocket launch. I don't have a spare copy of this issue but can scan the page for you if you need it. Just e-mail me direct at nankivil@covad.net

Good Health and Good Lift! Mark
