those wheels look REALLY small for a Kerswap!The name is an onomatopoeia for the sound it makes when it crashes.

B&W produced a lot of excellent plans and laser cut parts.
You have several of his plans and I hope to see more.
Believe it or not, the kits were done by Amish people in Indiana!

The wheels are definitely too small. I'll try to get a plan submitted for the original 42" model which had very large wheels.
Gil Morris lives in my town and is 100 years old!

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.
