Squeaker (oz15982)
About this Plan
Squeaker. Control line speed model. For K&B .19 engine.
Quote: "The Squeaker is my latest effort to produce a stable, consistent contest winner. In a single contest season it racked up an impressive list of wins, taking first at the Air Force World Wide Championships with 130.37 mph, first at the Nationals with 130.43 mph, first at the Internationals, 133.28 mph. The flight at the Internationals established a new A.M.A. record. Squeaker also took second place at the 1952 Nationals, turning a speed of a little over 130 mph. This was its maiden flight. In every contest where it has been flown it has consistently turned in times of 130 mph or better. The most important thing in a fast speed ship is stability, in my opinion. This seems to be the theme of the Squeaker.
The ship is designed around a K&B Torpedo .19 which I believe is the hottest Class A engine to hit the market. Alterations of the Torp .19 are as follows: Turn the cylinder head and fins down to 1-1/8 inch diameter. This allows you to use a smaller, more streamlined cowling. Remove the needle valve and venturi restrictor and tap the needle valve body in the venturi with a 10-32 tap. Install a Dooling needle valve and body. The Dooling needle valve has a fine taper and the body is of the lock-nut type which allows a fine positive setting which is very important. Install a McCoy right-angle seat. This allows an easy fuel line hook-up in close quarters..."

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.
