Shimid and Heatwave (oz16603)
About this Plan
Shimid and Heatwave. Control line profile trainer model. Wingspan 24 in, for 1 to 1.5 cc engines.
Note this plan shows two models. The main drawing is Schimid a 24 inch CL model, the secondary drawing is Heatwave an 18 inch HLG model.
Quote: "Construction is straightforward and follows the normal pattern for an all-sheet model. Cut the wing from 1/4 in sheet and the tailplane from 3/16. The fuselage is from 3/8 in medium balsa, measure and cut out areas for bearers, wing and tailplane carefully...
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Good morning Steve, Shimid and Heat Wave were printed on the same side of a pull out banner published with Aeromodeller May 1978. On the other side of the banner there was the Moonco and Crossbow (oz2352) plan.
I scanned the article trying then to clean the text but, sorry, the pics are no good at all. Anyway I attach the original scanned pics. Best regards, Paolo"
Update 4/3/2026: Added vectorPDF and CAD (dxf and dwg) versions of this plan, thanks to Valeria367.
Quote: "Hi, Steve and Mary. Good Morning. Some time ago, I bought one copy of the Aeromodeller Magazine of May 1978, and made the vector redraw of the Shimid and Heatwave plans (oz16603). When I saw that plans published in Outerzone, I decided to send you the vector versions of the plans. As usual, I add the PDF vector format, and both CAD vectorial formats: DWG and DXF.
Good day, and greetings, from your friend.

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.
