Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet (oz12462)
About this Plan
Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. Catapult launch glider. Scale model of the German WWII rocket fighter.
Quote: "The bird of prey rises up out of the steamy dark forest and into the bright glare of day…Germany’s rocket-powered interceptor, the Messerschmitt ME-163 Komet… skyward toward its intended victims. In this case however, the beast is bit more conventionally powered, i.e., rubber motor and propeller. Originally designed by myself some 25 years ago as a peanut scale catapult-launched glider, I have recreated that same model as an 18 in wingspan propeller-driven aircraft. Tom Akery has been kind enough to render my original plan via CAD. Model construction is quite simple and straightforward with the finish providing the majority of detail. Take-off dolly is removable for flight (attached with a pin). For display purposes the propeller can be removed and the nose-button replaced with a simulated air-driven generator. Thanks, Steve and Mary!"

Corrections?
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 (oz12462) 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/Messerschmitt_Me_163_Komet
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
It looks like the wing ribs got the wrong numbers: W1, W2 and W4 are right, W5 is W3 in the top view of the wing, W6 is W5.Martin - 11/09/2020

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.
