About this Plan
1989 Bomber Beater. Radio control old timer model. Wingspan 100 in.

Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Although the Lanzo Bomber (oz224) was never kitted nor published in the pre-war period, shortly after it was discovered and approved in the 1980s, it was built in great numbers and started to dominate in Old Timer competitions. To counter this, Joe Elgin's Playboy Senior (oz3075) was scaled up to the same wing area of the Bomber. Mark Winstanley has produced this plan using the structural improvements of Jim Reynold's plan to reproduce The Bomber Beater. The prefered engine was and is the McCoy 60 Series 20."

Mark:I thought your scaling was off when I printed it and the wingspan came out to 100.5 instead of 100. Then, I referenced the Reynolds plan : 50.25 x 2=100.5
Wing area 315 x 4 =1,260. A perfect match for the long center section Lanzo Bomber!

I can't open the CAD-zip. Is it just a plan?

Yers, it is a CAD version of this plan (in DWG format). As it says in the update.

Both of these Kanata Playboys are worth building but I haven’t seen them priced.
Does Wolfram have a CAD for the other?
Did you ever think Outerzone would grow to be this big?

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.
