Kan Doo (oz12694)

About this Plan

Kan Doo. Control line stunt model. Pete Cock's 1948 British Nationals Gold Trophy Winner.

Note the original Kan Doo (oz3612) design first appeared as a kit by Kandoo Products, circa 1949. This here is a much later drawing from a nostalgia article in Aeromodeller, April 1976.

Note this is not a full size plan, this is a scan of the drawing as it was printed in the magazine pages. The scale of the plan is 1/4, and only the wing rib is shown at full size.

Quote: "Hi Mary, As requested, please find attached 400 dpi scans of the Aeromodeller April 1976 Kan Doo plan and short article.

This is a revised plan drawn in 1976 and removed the gross errors in the earlier versions still includes significant errors compared with the data in the Dave Day documents. For example the fuselage was 1/8 or 3/16 or 1/4 inch plywood. Much of the ply was cut away before the fuselage was covered in 1/16 sheet balsa. The engine was a modified ED Comp Special (eg timing changed with shortened piston). The prop was cut down and the blades thinned. Perhaps a note could be added.

This is the 'best' plan of the Kan Doo which is generally available, despite the errors. I suggest you update the current OZ plan with this copy until/IF a better plan becomes available.

Dave Day refers to a Kandoo Model Products kit plan as the best reference for the design and he had a copy but does not provide a copy in his data package. So I am still looking for this plan. Will forward if it surfaces.

Best Regards, please stay safe, and keep up your great work,"
