Root Beer Express (RBE). Radio control sport model. Wingspan 46.5 in, wing area 400 sq in, for brushless electric power.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "Hi, Steve & Mary, Here's another model I built this year, the Root Beer Express. I asked myself the question "What would the Great Ace, Snoopy, fly after the end of the Great War?". Between a barnstorming bipe and an air racer, the idea of a racer won out (but the barnstormer is still on the back burner!).
Anyway, here are the plans...
Sincerely,
Bill Bowne"

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.
