Does anyone have a scan of the 1934 original RC-1 plan? I guess maybe there never was such a plan, if (according to the AMA bio) it wasn't a great success, and Lanzo moved quickly on to building later versions.SteveWMD - 12/01/2021
Hi Steve and Mary, I don't have the plans for this ship but I do have a nicely built seven-foot-span RC-1 in my shop, which I got from the estate of a modeling friend [main pic]. My friend didn't build it; who did, is unknown. The RC-1 at one time was being built in numbers for SAM O.T. R/C competition because it did fly reasonably well, could be built light and by swapping engines, could be flown in several different classes.

I have the original RC-1 plan and will get it to Outerzone ASAP

So happy to find this plan again. I had been searching on “Lanzo” but the Mertz class never popped up; only the 7ft original and a 1/2A.
Thanks so much,

Plan was actually drawn by Alfredo Herbon of Argentina

Got it, Herbon. Have fixed spelling now. Many thanks.

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.
