About this Plan
Shorthorn. Class A free flight power model by William Chenault, aka Bill.
Quote: "Excellent contest class A free flight that has an amazing history of contest accomplishments but more importantly design accomplishments as well! Designed to suit the rules and the needs of the neophyte for a good beginning plane.
Want to try something new? How about thin airfoils, using turbulators, with no undercamber? When I first started working with this design I was worried about rule changes. I began with a 1/2A size 326 square inch wing. It's been very successful. So in the years when there was no class C gas I drew up a class B with 660 square inch wing. I used a favorite worked over Fox .201. It was really a tremendous model. I placed in almost every contest I entered.
Finally the rules changed and I was ready. I had built this 550 square inch wing size version to use the latest .15 engine on it. About this time several manufacturers came out with new .19 engines. My close friend, Casey Hornbeck, was able to locate one of the first Super Tigre .19 engines with the 015 case. With my new added power I found I enjoyed flying this model more than any size. The first full year of flying I maxed out in every contest I flew in except one, I won that one and placed in all the rest..."

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.
