Exodus (oz1902)
About this Plan
Exodus. Simple single channel R/C model, for .010 - .020 power.
Quote: "We would like to state at the outset of this article that the Exodus is the result of several years of research and development in single channel, rudder only airfoils, moments, and areas. Only we can't. The truth of the matter is, the Exodus was sketched out on the back of an envelope one night while watching the Johnny Carson show.
Conceived in rebellion against the nauseous supremacy of RC ships with slab sides and block windshields, the Exodus started life as a vast expanse of celluloid cabin area around which an airplane developed.
As it turned out, the model was one that could be built in two or three evenings with a mimimum of effort and expense, with the additional incentive of at least resembling a full-scale air-craft. There is sufficient room in the fuselage for any of the small, light-weight receivers, a couple of pencells, and the Citizenship SE-2 escapement.
To prove that the Exodus could be built in two or three evenings even by a beginner, and since our first two proto-types flew OOS (hence, the name Exodus), we gave the templates to RCM's editor. He completed the plane in just under five days which proves our point that any normal person could do it in two or three.
Before digging into the balsa bin, a point or three to keep in mind: the Exodus is an extremely stable model with excellent sport flying and RC trainer characteristics. Thrust adjustments are built in, and along with CG location, are not particularly critical. However, one thing to keep in mind, as with all small RC jobs, is to keen the weight down! Build and finish for lightness - the Exodus is rugged and no extra beefing up is necessary.
Begin wing construction by pinning the 1/16 x 1 in leading and trailing edge sheeting in place over the plan. Do the same for the spar..."

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

I had the magazine this came in, the first issue of R/C Modeler, Oct 63. I had the plan scaled up ready to build for my Cox 010 but never built it after I left for the USAF. Mama threw away my magazines while I was away. Should make a good small electric now.DougSmith - 06/01/2015

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.
