Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Hi Steve and Mary, Here's the plan for the original Skyleada Bantam - the reduced-size version for a Kalper is already on Oz as Bantam (oz9690). I obtained the plan on loan via David Hill, it came to him from the late Keith Harris's collection.... I haven't been able to remove the background fuzzyness, but it's still readable/buildable. Kind regards, Peter"
Update 9/4/2025: Replaced this plan with a cleaned up version, thanks to theshadow.
Quote: "Hi Mary & Steve - Well I don't think I'll do that again! Please find attached the Bantam oz15918, cleaned. This started out as a personal challenge that quickly spiraled out of control. I took a close look at this plan and felt it would take quite a bit of time. I underestimated that by many days."

Just added a before-and-after image [pic 004] showing the remarkable cleanup job on this one, by theshadow. Outstanding work.SteveWMD - 09/04/2025
Holy cowl Batman! That was an assume job cleaning these plans up Shadow. I've been trying to up my game with cleaning plans which I have a few that are taxing my skills. But challenges make you better. Thanks for taking your time and using your skills to restoring these treasures.

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.
