Anyone else notice the front rubber hook is drawn backwards?Tom - 14/11/2022
Good point. That passed me by completely.

The plan is from 1943... You know "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there". Would it be a different method, now forgotten? Was the designer undecided between a pusher or a puller?

It's the poor man's pusher, a catapult launch model with dummy free-wheeling prop, save the elastic band...

Pretty sure it's an arresting hook for carrier landings.

If catapult launch as Pit says, the motor could be used for the catapult. No torque effects ruining the flight!
The flattop possibility is interesting, even if the orientation is wrong for a canard. I'd suggest it could be used for message picking as in the Lysander* but again hook orientation seems ineffective here.

Arresting hook: assuming the carrier is moving faster than the plane the hook is correct, a sort of catching in the air landing. An old forgotten technology of the Aerial Golden Age abandoned after some pilots died because the carrier's crew often remained confused by the sense of motion of a pusher canard.

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.
