EmBee (oz13700)
About this Plan
EmBee. Model aero diesel engine.
For more details on the EmBee, see http://modelenginenews.org/cardfile/pmcimp.html
Quote: "The 'EmBee 75' (the makers initials) was a nicely made little engine. The crankcase was machined from barstock with the front shaft bushing glued into the main case section with Araldite (a well known English two part epoxy). The finish was excellent and the engines were well-behaved and easy to start. Chinn suggested that it: [would] fill a long felt want for a Mills .75 replacement engine. I was unable to locate any advertising for the EmBee, but Clanford's A-Z, not always the most reliable reference, indicates that production spanned the period 1968 through 1970 [p63].
A variation on the engine re-surfaced in a single advertisement appearing in the October 1980 issue of the Aeromodeller. The ancestry is obvious; the most significant change being the transposition of the inlet and the exhaust. And proving that it always pays to read the fine print, note that the ad states Prototype engine photo only. Now called the PMC Imp (oz13743), the capacity was unchanged and although no manufacturer was stated, we now know it was being produced by Peter Moore on the Isle of Man..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

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.
