I built one of these from a Balsa USA kit years ago. If built as tail dragger, per these plans, on pavement it will not take off. As soon as any amount of power is applied, it starts ground looping, adding a steerable tail-wheel won't help. If you take off from grass, you have to add power gradually, otherwise it will ground loop. If you build this model, build it as a tricycle gear.

I built the .25 version, 50in - 54in wingspan, can't remember exactly what. I built it as a nosewheeler, and it flew off a dirt track. The frame was tough, Miguel-proof tough! I can't remember any vices, it was very apt at decreasing speed thanks to the large amount of built-in drag. Nice trainer, nothing bad to say.

Had one in the 1980's and flew the heck out of it. Never had a bit of problems flying off grass or pavement as a tail-wheel model. Often used for club fun fly events. One of the best RC trainers ever made due to ultra simple construction and indestructibly.

One thing with conventional landing gear, the main wheels should be even with the wing leading edge with the tail up, If the wheels are too much forward of this, the thing will be easy to groundloop, once it goes, it will be hard to stop. Too close to the CG and it will have a tendency to tip on its nose, further or slightly aft of CG, put a nose gear on 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.
