About this Plan

New. Simple chuck glider model. Wingspan 18 in.

Quote: "MODEL OF THE MONTH: Bruce Kimball's Cornchucker HLG.

I got a 3-view of Bruce's latest HLG at this year's Northwest FAI Symposium (to be reported next month). I was looking for a glider design that would use three-inch-wide wood and be easy to build, for use with junior high kids, and the Cornchucker looks like it was designed to my specifications. It should be economical to make, since the lengths of wood needed For flying surfaces and fuselage are multiples of six inches. The flat center section makes for a strong, accurately-aligned wing/fuselage joint (very important for juniors!).

I haven't flown mine yet, but construction was VERY quick and weight came out as Bruce specified without any need for raiding your choicest stock. This should be a good glider for those nice days when the morning fog has just lifted, where your 'full-grunt' gliders would glide through the light stuff, and there's not much danger of losing a non-DT HLG. Or maybe something to throw around to keep your arm in shape, just before the sun goes down."

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.
