Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Hi Mary, please see the following plan for the Puma, a 34 in wingspan 'streamline semi-scale cabin sailplane, featuring centre dihedral elliptic planform wings' which was designed by O.F.W. (Peter) Fisher, and produced by Performance Kits. The model was designed and first flown by Peter Fisher in 1959. I am also sending one of the few adverts that appeared for this model.
The plan, which was included in the model kit, unfortunately does not include details of the cross formers or wing ribs. I expect the wing ribs had a slight under camber, as did other models of similar design by Peter Fisher around this time period, such as the Neutron (oz8733). Great to be able to make another of his designs available. Thanks for all the great work you do running OuterZone. Mark Robinson"
Update 23/9/2024: Added printwood, thanks to Simon Rogers.
Hi, Steve & Mary, Please find attached copies of the printwood for the P.K. Puma, oz15552. I've only got an A4 scanner so I've had to do them in two parts, hope this is OK. I've also attached a couple of photos. Cheers, Simon Rogers.

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

Great to see the printwood and image added for the Puma, by Simon Rogers. Also great picture of the Neutron and Galaxy sailplane alongside the Puma. I have never seen the Galaxy Sailplane. - A message for Simon Rogers - Do you have a copy of the plans for the Galaxy Sailplane you could send to OZ please? It would be a great addition to the site. If you are not able to get it scanned I would be happy to do it and return the original to you. We could always exchange contact details via Steve at OuterZone

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.
