Wing Cut out all the ribs, gussets, the two 1/4 in, sheet tips and notch the trailing edge as per plan. Lay the bottom, main spar on the plan and cement the ribs in position.

This is my plan I did back in the late 1950's. Good to see it is still about and being used.Mac Grimmett - 26/06/2022
Seeing your work alive and well 60 years down the river must be a fantastic feeling. Thank you very much, Mr. Grimmett!

Yes it's amazing and I am very interested to hear that people are still using my plan. I am now 88 and no longer make big models but still potter with some other bits.

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.
