Boulton Paul P.111A (oz1873)
About this Plan
Boulton Paul P111A. Scale delta model for Jetex power. May 1954 Aeromodeller.
Quote: "One of the earliest deltas, the P.111A has always attracted modellers with its clean lines, stubby fuselage and general pert appearance. Besides stubbiness, the body also features from the modellers point of view a capacious interior and easy curves which lend themselves to moulded sheet constuction.
DP Golding has taken full advantage of these points in this neat and smooth-flying scale model.
Construction commences by carving a solid block fuselage (preferably from obechi); this is the only 'awkward' stage of the construction, but it is essential for true scale appearance. The block is carved 1/32 in undersize overall, smoothed and given one coat of clear dope. Four sheets of fairly soft 1/32 balsa are required, and one of these should be soaked in hot water for about ten minutes. After shaking or wiping off the surplus, lay one edge on the fuselage block centre line and bind tightly with 1/4 in rubber. Where wrinkles occur (probably two at each end) cut and allow to overlap, butt-joining when dry.
The corresponding quarter should be made in the same way and, when dry butt-joined to the first piece, replacing the complete half-shell on the former and binding in place. Steam in front of a kettle for a couple of minutes and allow to dry before removing and laying aside.
The bottom half repeats the process, and two 1/32 x 1/4 strips are cemented along the edges to facilitate jointing. Rubber marks, etc., will sand away quite easily.
Construct all formers and fit in F1-5, the lower halves of F12-15, and F16, followed by the motor mount. Add top halves of F12 and 15, and F7-11 and install the augmenter tube which must be accurately lined up and will need approximately 3 in cut off the end.
Build fin, etc., and fair in place and make parachute housing, which is added after completion of the fuselage. Fit and align top shell and cement in place. Silk cover the lower half up to just above the join and cover the top with rag tissue..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz1873) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulton_Paul_P.111
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
