Redwing (oz2588)
About this Plan
Redwing. Free flight power cabin model.
Originally from 1939 Model Builder's Handbook. This here is a later version drawn by Al Patterson in MB, 1978.
Quote: "OLD TIMER Model of the Month. Alan Orthof's Redwing. Text by Bill Northrop. Redrawn by Al Patterson.
Ship is balanced by moving wing back and forth on top of the fuselage. Other than a warning that flying surfaces must be lined up and free from warps, the above warning constitutes the entire set of trimming instructions for this very basic 1938 design by Alan Orthof, published in 'Model Builder's handbook No.1', copyright 1939.
With a structural design and outline very reminiscent of Herb Greenberg's famous Red Zephyr, the Redwing is an extremely simple model to build, and no special hints are needed. Designed around the popular Ohlsson 23 engine, the wing has about 325 sq in area on a 48 inch span. If you're in a hurry to get an Old Timer gas job together, this is it."

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.
