Bristol Beaufighter (oz1054)
About this Plan
Peanut Beaufighter by HJ Towner.
Update 26/04/2017: Rescaled to correct fullsize at 13inch wingspan, thanks to GuyColeman.
Dear Steve, I noticed that your copy of Harold Towner's plan only prints to half its intended size. Here is my version which I believe is scaled correctly and cleaned up. Kind regards, Guy

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz1054) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Beaufighter
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

User comments
Dear Mary/Steve, Attached please find my build of H J Towner's Peanut Beaufighter [main pic, 003, 004]. Mainly done as an exercise to see how Towner's concepts correlates with modern aerodynamic thinking. Canted drives not withstanding.Building notes; each half wing built as a single unit pinned to the datum line. Hole punch and scalpel to remove excess wood from inner ribs. All up weight 14.4g . One braided 6 inch loop of 3/32 rubber for each motor. Regards,
D L L Reid - 19/12/2024

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.
