TIPSY junior TYPE HISTORY

If an aircraft looks right, It’ll fly right - they say. It could also be
fairly said that it will be well-remembered. Only two Tipsy
Juniors were ever built, yet its simple, attractive lines make it a
perenial modellers’ favourite

STEPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN
For the most part, the scale models we build are generally made from
the tried and tested sources of readily available kits and plans, in the
comfortable knowledge and trust that the flyability of our latest project
is guaranteed by the efforts of its creator. Generally, we pick a subject
that has wings at the front and a tailplane at the back - a time honoured
configuration ... and with a power source right at the front of everything.
The birds worked that one out millions of years ago; they probably did
not have a word for it, but if they had, they would have called it
evolution - the selective route to a workable solution!
There are though, the heroic types among scale modellers who, when
something unconventional grabs their interest, just can’t let it go -
whatever difficult the challenge and whatever the lack of clues there
might be as to how to make it all work.
Such is the background to our full size free plan feature this month.
Gerry Rathband had a particular purpose in mind when he
selected the Handley Page HP75 ‘Manx’ as a suitable
case for treatment’. The ‘Manx’? “... never ’erd of it”
you might say, and probably with good reason, for it
was an obscure one-off experimental tailless twin
engine pusher type built in 1939 and which clocked
only a total of 30 flights over 17 flying hours

However even if the Manx is right at the bottom

of your scale modelling ‘to-do’ list ... or even right at
page 6
the top of you ‘never-to-do’ list, Gerry’s tale of how,
with not a grain of experience of tailless pusher models,
the problems the Manx posed were progressively overcome in
the most practical down-to-earth way, it’s well worth the read.
And ‘down-to-earth’ occurred quite often as the model was made to
fly successfully!
