About this Plan
1940 Sylph. Free flight pusher tailless model.
Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "I designed the Sylph during the Christmas vacation (high school) 1940. It was inspired by a picture of a flying wing model that appeared in Model Airplane News (photo by Kulick). That model was the 'Bobtail Contender.' It is surprising how much the Sylph looks like the Bobtail Contender. The original Sylph was powered with a Bunch Mighty Midget that I bought as a kit for $7.85. I really don't remember too much about it or what became of it. The plans were drawn in ink on shelf paper (I still have them). They were copied and approved as Old Timer by SAM. Jim O'Reilly has the plans and Bob Holman kits a 1/2A Texaco version. I have since built one that I flew in 1/2A Texaco and another powered with a Burford Elfin for A ign. LER (the yellow one)..."

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.
