Very nice. 900 square inches is just perfect for a glow .40 such as a K&B or a G40 Super Tigre. It would also make a splendid ship for several .60 size ignition motors. A nice change of pace from the ubiquitous Playboy Seniors.James L. - 27/12/2024
Many years ago, I built a Playboy Jr. to 800 square inches (same size as the Senior) on the advice of John Pond. TYRO used to make a kit but they were out of business so mine came from Klarich Kustom Kits in California.
It was essentially the scaled up 54 inch version; similar to this plan but it also had the extra four longerons like the Senior. https://clevelandairline.com/Product.aspx
I found it to be very capable of handling hot engines and easier to balance than the Senior. I don't think I can fairly evaluate the glide performance versus the Senior, which seems to have less parasitic drag, because the model always seemed to be in lift. Lost it in a garage fire.
Downloading this plan now and looking for a laser cutter.

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.
