Wedell Williams (oz15815)
About this Plan
Wedell Williams Racer. Control line profile scale model. Wingspan 16 in, for .075 diesel or .049 glow engine.
Quote: "Roscoe Turner's famous golden Wedell Williams Racer with bright red trim makes excellent quickie profile U-control model for those small Half-A engines. You can get it into the air in a couple of evenings. By Walter A Musciano.
Big controlline jobs for .29's are fine and a great many of them have been published in MAN, but many people who have Half-A powerplants, little room to fly, not too much time, find the little for-fun job ideally suited to their needs. What better then, than a profile semi-scale? Turner's Wedell Williams Racer was third in 1932 Bendix, first in 1933, third in 1934, second in 1935. The expert, the combat fan, can scale up such simple plans anyway.
Give the model a coat of clear, followed by three of colored dope. Struts can be made removable if desired. Will take .049 to .075 engines. "
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "While looking through Model Airplane News, July 1954, I discovered a two page fullsize 1/2A plan for the Wedell Williams racer by Walter Musciano. As it was not posted on the OZ site, and it looks like a quick profile build, I thought I would send in for consideration. Ed"

ScaleType: This (oz15815) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedell-Williams_Model_44
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
