Quote: "The Stout Trophy Winner. By Roy E Stoner and Peter Stapilus. In collaboration with Gordon S Light.
Complete plans for reproducing the model that won the Stoat outdoor event with a flight of 12:52.2 - the 25th Air Trails championship model.
Careful refinement of every part has resulted in a reliable and dependable contest model. The 12:52.2 flight last July in Detroit proved the value of design changes which Stoner and Stapilus have been making in this model ever since its origin back in 1935.
Originally, the model had a straight wing, symmetrical stabilizer, and a motor stick. The changes they've made are obvious from the drawings and photos. But even further changes have been made since the model's winning flight last Year. Photo of the most recent Stoner-Stapilus model is included with the views of the winning model itself.
The plans and instructions describe the model flown by Stoner last July in Detroit.
Fuselage: The fuselage drawing is drawn to scale, the 1 in divisions are indicated around the outside margin. Dimensions not indicated can be scaled of the drawing.
The three views of the fuselage point out that the cross-sectional shape changes from a rectangle. to a triangle. The two bottom longerons fair into a single longeron about halfway back. 1/8 square hard balsa is used throughout the fuselage. The entire fuselage on the winning model was covered with 1/16 sheet balsa inlaid between the longerons and struts - flush with the outside edges. As a substitute, 1/32 sheet can be used to cover the outside of the fuselage. Apply it on the outside of the longerons and struts, bending it to the shape of the fuselage..."

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
