Bean Machine (oz10445)
About this Plan
Bean Machine. A Bostonian for beginners.
Designed and drawn by DJ Lindley, May 1989. Redrawn in TurboCAD by Steve Moskal, Sept 2018.
Quote: "In the late 80s, a loose confederation of Chicago area indoor free flight modelers was led by Don Lindley. He was a mentor in many ways and loved it when kids came to watch us fly in Building K at the College of DuPage. He would simply hand them the Peck Polymer ROG kit, tell them how easy it was to build and encourage them to return and fly them at the next weekly session. Don drew up the Bean Machine as the next step. They proved great little fliers no matter the level of a builder's craftsmanship. I decided to honor Don’s memory with a CAD rendering of his original Bostonian plan."

Just make sure all "Bostonian" specifications are addressed. There was an early plan that was a bit undersized in the window parameter. Otherwise, I believe this plan to be correct.Tom N - 08/01/2019
No, Steve has it correct. I was there, and it's a pretty good flyer.

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.
