A consistent model of extra-galactic double radio sources must evidently involve all aspects of the source from the underlying power source to the production of the radio lobes. Here, we give an overview of our work on the different aspects of a self-consistent model which includes gravitational accretion of fluid with angular momentum as the power source, the production of hydrodynamic or relativistic particle-beam jets, and the formation of expanding radio components.
