Centron (oz15258)
About this Plan
Centron. Radio control slope soarer model. Wingspan 60 in.
Quote: "Centron, by Bill Evans.
Reader interest in construction articles includes questions about the background of the deisgn. The basis for size, shape and other configuration detail need to be explained.
The Centron in its present form came as a result of incorporating several considerations which had been on my mind for many months.
Firt, in regard to size, 60 inches, the Centron falls between the Saracen (oz7981) at 72 inches, and the Simitar (oz10187) at 48 inches, which has been a successful slope soarer, especially at Bluff Cove, Palos Verdes, Calif.
Incorporation of the pin-wing features of the Saracen Easy Packer is a great aid to storing and transporting the Centron.
The one inch of anhedral adds to the appearence and inverted flying characteristics, yet does not detract fromn upright flying or handling..."

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.
