Anopheles (oz15776)
About this Plan
Anopheles. Simple indoor rubber model. All-sheet design. Wingspan 10 in.
Quote: "An hour, that's all, to make this featherweight parlor pursuit. Anopheles, by Louis Garami.
Anopheles - Mosquito to you - was designed for tight circles in confined areas. A little model, it had big design problems. Turns had to be consistent despite steadily diminishing power output of a rubber motor. Precision flight was achieved by this combination.
We wanted the model to turn with torque; to make the circles tight we used left rudder. Ordinarily, left rudder plus torque effects make a mode] spiral dive. So, we made the left wing longer than the right and twisted the left wing tip to have about 3/32 in washin or increased incidence.
On 7,5 to 100 turns, the Mosquito makes three to four precise turns of the room. You can make it land on a handkerchief with a little practice."

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.
