Hush Buggy (oz16430)

About this Plan

Hush Buggy. Control line trainer model. Wingspan 20 in, for Cox QZ .049 engine.

Quote: "Quietness is certainly a virtue in modern aeromodelling and no engine helps us aeromodellers to be more vituous than the new Cox .049 QZ (Quiet Zone) - Aeromodeller engine test, May 1967. Test flying this docile forgiving little 20 inch span trainer with the .049 QZ, a club member said: I've heard of hush-puppies, but this is the hushiest buggy I've ever flown. So beginners (and others) may we introduce you to Hush Buggy.

Unusual but simple construction produces a model that combines modern light aeroplane styling with real toughness. We recommend the beginner to use the Cox .049 QZ engine for its really easy starting and quietness, but the more experienced can step up the power to 1 cc and enjoy some real sports flying. So, very quietly, let's get to balsa-butchering.

Start by cutting the wing from 1/4 in balsa sheet, and shaping the airfoil, noting carefully the centre section. Cut part A from 1/4 in ply, drilling holes for the undercarriage thread and bellcrank bolt pivot..."

Quote: "Mary and Steve; please find attached a copy of a plan I cant find in your collection, for your consideration. The plan was originally published in the Aeromodeller magazine and designed by the famous Ray Malmstrom... originally for a Cox .049 Babe Bee QZ. I built one in 1968 so it must have been published sometime around then. I am working on a CAD version to clean up the scans - will send it when finished. BTW I have developed a short kit for this - if anyone is interested."
