From 1981 until 1994 I wrote 15 articles that were published in 4 different magazines: Model Airplane News, Model Builder, Model Aviation and Flying Models.
They were construction articles that involved drawing the plans, building and flying the plane, taking photos during the entire process followed by writing the article.
The text was written on an old Radio Shack computer using a word possessor called Webster’s New World Writer then copied to a 5 1/4“ floppy disk in ASCII format. This was shipped to the Magazine Editor along with 6 bw glossy photos and an Ozalid (dyeline paper, blueprint) copy of the plans rolled up in a tube.
The plans and most of the article text can be found here.
