Brand New Book! "The Great Gollywock Saga" A book devoted exclusively to the history, development and construction of this amazing model and its close brothers: the Jabberwock and the Dynamoe. The 44 pages in two-column format familiar to readers of Free Flight Quarterly contain nine chapters that include: Origins and Versions, Trimming and Flying the Gollywock, Motors and Propellers for the Gollywock, Timer installation, and Airfoils. Many people contributed generously of their time and expertise in the writing of this book. Among them Gene Wallock describes his system of hinge construction for perfect folding, Al Pardue has written and illustrated a chapter on building, finishing and decorating a Gollywock, while David Mills examines a possible sibling to the Gollywock: the Ray Smith Mulvihill, adding his recollection of an evening with Wally Simmers, and discoursing on the Simmers Dynamoe, and its excellent performance in the Moffett Trophy. The book also includes a new full size plan for the Gollywock II version in three A3 sheets. The price is $17 US airmailed to your address or $21 AUD in Australia or NZ. It can be ordered from this website or from the Free Flight Quarterly editorial offices. Purchase The Great Gollywock Saga |
