That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Looks like a successful attempt to build a lifting body sailplane. Lots of exotic features, should require a fairly high level of craftsmanship.Martin - 23/01/2020
Hello here are some pictures of a Bydule glider [main pic, 006] made from the oz11906 plan, by Jaques Tantet of MRA December 1951, 78in span. Redesigned keeping the lines of the original model, modified for electric engine the fuselage was just increased in height to let pass all the rc equipment. Sincerely,

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.
