I have two vintage modeling books to trade for two .40 (could be a little bigger or smaller) size motors. They do not have to be in perfect condition and have pretty boxes, etc. They just need to be c/l, and have good compression. The books are:

1. "Building Model Airplanes That Fly", by Edwin T. Hamilton, Published in 1935. This book is about 9x12, hard cardboard cover, very heavy paper pages, blue print plans (10 of them) and has 32 pages. The plans are for hand launch gliders, rubber power stick, up to twin pusher rubber power. A real nostalgia trip! This book is not pristine. It does have some water damage, but does not have any pages stuck together or torn. It is a very useable book and the plans are fun to build.

2. "Model Airplane and Theory of Flight", by Charles Hampson Grant. 1st published in 1941, this book is the 4th printing in 1944.This book is about 6x9, hard bound, in excellent shape, a real work for the seriouse builder. There are no plans in this book, but it descibes everything and anything that was known about aircraft in the 40's. A lot of the stuff thats in this book is very relevant in our hobby today. Many of yesterdays modelers contributed to this book; Kulick, Korda, Ehling, Shulman, Effinger, etc. Names many of us pay hommage to.

I can send pics via internet/email if you wish. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

I am also open to reasonable offers.
