Gordon Cornell on 1/2A Team Racing

Gordon Cornell's 1962 series on 1/2 A Class Team Racing commenced in the May 1962 issues of the British magazine, Model Aircraft. Scans of the full series appear below (click on an image to view it at a readable size). The series is followed by scans of the plans for Gordon's Leveret team racers. The Leveret II is fully approved for use with the current British Vintage 1/2 A Class rules and full size plans are available for £3 (Contact gcornell@tiscali.co.uk). However, the longer wingspan Leveret III, full size plans for which accompanied the 1962 series printed in Model Aircraft, is not approved for use under the British vintage rules.
