Feinburg 1931 Record Holder (oz12667)
About this Plan
Feinburg 1931 Record Holder. Rubber duration model.
Quote: "Old Timer Model of the Month: Feinburg's 1931 Record Holder. When you compare it with other models of the time, this design by Emanuel Feinburg of Detroit, Michigan, was quite advanced. It won the 1931 National AMLA meet in Dayton, Ohio with a flight of 29 minutes and 30 seconds, setting a then new world record.
Plans, and an article describing the construction of this model, were published in the January 1932 issue of The American Boy - Youth's Companion. It was called to our attention by Bob 'Satellite' Hunter.
Of special interest is the 'locked axle' landing gear arrangement - still a great idea for improved ground handling of tail dragger designs, particularly on those cantankerous WWI scale R/C ships!"

Hello, Here is the Feinburg 1931, built according to the plan downloaded from your site [pics 004, 005]. It has been converted to RC with a small brushless motor and two 9gr servos. See video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TmumBF1HwI. Thanks to Outerzone for the classification of all these plans.Jean-Michel Baertschi - 26/02/2021

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.
