Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / November 2009Roy Clough Design Martian Spaceship
I am looking for drawings of Clough's Martian Spaceship. Does anyone have a set that can be scanned, or know where I can get them? Thank you.

I think there were two iterations: A free-flight published in Air Trails in 1954 and an RC version published in . . . uhh . . .the 80s? The Free Flight version shows up in "Flying Models - Favourites Of The Fifties" by Vic Smeed; appropriately enough for a book about the Fifties, Clough's Spaceship is on page 50. Be warned, it's not an easy book to get your hands on, and the "Martian Space Ship by Roy L. Clough Jr." is not a very complete plan. Someone else will have to help you for the RC version. Clough sure built some interesting planes . . .

The thing was wingless and pulled by an .049 on the nose. It tended to be very unstable in roll, which was tamed by adding a couple of 'strakes' along the underside. Glide was atrocious.<g Bill(oc) I have the April, 1954, Air Trails article. Looks sorta like a blimp, approx. 36" long, with an .049 at the nose. No plans, per se, but has side view & construction dwgs. Email me if you want scans of the 2 pages. They're about 1MB ea. at 300dpi, but I could cut them down to 150dpi, approx 250KBea. -Dave Signaturehttp://plumpe.home.mindspring.com email: lastname@mindspring.com ANTI-SPAM: To email, replace "lastname" with "plumpe" >I am looking for drawings of Clough's Martian Spaceship.

I think that MAN or RCM are the more likely candidates. I finally got a chance to upload the files to my website. Here they al are As PDF www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_1.pdf www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_2.pdf www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_3.pdf As TIFF www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_1.tif www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_2.tif www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_martian_3.tif Another plan from the same issue www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_Typhoon.tif www.montanadesign.com/rcg/54_Apr_Typhoon.pd I think I e-mailed them to you last time. I'll just leave them on m site now, they only take about 10M And -- AndyKun > I finally got a chance to upload the files to my website.

He cross-posted the request here and on RCGroups, so I've replie in both locations. I saw other posts, so it looked like it might hav had interest to more than just the OP. And -- AndyKun |
