NB: This is one of the first Anderson Pylon plans that was reduced for 1/2A Texaco. I don't know who drew it. Note that it has the larger tank (8cc). This fell out of favour in the eighties. Nevertheless, it is still 50-60sq inches smaller that the typical 1/2A Texaco model. If you elect to build it without scaling up a wee bit, make sure you use nothing less than an 8x5 airscrew. Otherwise, it'll go OOS really fast. The Lanzo Bomber was all the rage when this plan was circulating but it was curiously missing from the most popular event in R/C assist. The reason: onboard equipment was too large at the time for a scaled down Bomber fuselage. The most popular model was Tyro's kit of the Bay Ridge Mike (oz7473). The Anderson, thanks to the cross-section rule in place in the thirties (L²/100) had plenty of space in the fuselage for the existing equipment.Danny Buoy - 12/12/2021
The green and red model with the side mounted Cox appears to have been built from the oz3164 plan. Note construction [fixed now, moved to oz3164].

Anderson plan scaled up 2.5X for Electric Texaco. See: http://www.thebuildingboard.com/2024/08/se...

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.
