Modern Old Timer (oz10469)
About this Plan
Modern Old Timer. Rubber twin pusher model, from Aeromodeller 1941.
Quote: "Build this most efficient flying machine. By Frederick Bontoff.
I'm not going to call it a model aeroplane. Indeed is any model aeroplane a model of anything? So if you don't mind putting into the air all the best principles of flight in simple form, you will get consistent flights of 5 - 6 minutes. A few well known materials and a few hours will do the trick.
The scheme was first tries out in 1908 by Fleming Williams. But the present construction is vastly improved, and includes a modern wing section, balsa, and carved propellors.
Fuselage (or A frame). Pin down on to a perfectly flat board on which has been drawn a triangle..."
Quote: "Two more from Aeromodeller April 1941 that I have cleaned and/or tidied up: A Modern Old Timer by Frederick Bontoff. Scan probably from Zoe Quilter."

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.
