Quote: "Miles Sparrowhawk free plans now available to download. Following on from successful flight testing last month, I am happy to announce that plans for my 52" span Miles Sparrowhawk for 10 cells/buggy motor/Master Airscrew gearbox are now freely downloadable from my website. This is a lovely-flying little model which I'm sure is going to give many hours of enjoyment."
Note photos of completed Miles Sparrowhawk model [main pic, 003, 004] built by Jeff Williams were found online at https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7204003&postcount=24
Quote: "I received an email from Jeff Williams a few months ago, which included some photos of his Sparrowhawk built from these plans. I am posting some of them here for two reasons: firstly they exhibit the absolutely superb craftsmanship Jeff has employed in his build, and: secondly they bring the design up to date as he has fitted a brushless motor and lipo cells - shaving an incredible 22ozs off the prototype's weight! The specs of Jeff's Sparrowhawk are:
AUW: 50ozs
Power: Tower PRO 29-08 motor giving 290W @ 32A
Battery: 3s x 2100mah lipo
Enjoy! Graham."

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.
