Cassandra (oz2847)
About this Plan
Cassandra. Free flight towline glider. Cassandra 67.5" span A2 Glider, from Model Aircraft April 1954.
Quote: "Cassandra. A sleek and well-tried A-2 glider by GA GOODING from Model Aircraft April 1954.
Cassandra I was designed and built in 1952, with the object of producing an A/2 that combined good looks with a good performance. After considering various Continental and English trends in Nordic design, this layout seemed to be ideal in every respect. Its forst comp flight was in the first A/2 eliminator when it recorded 4:10 OOS and unfortunately was not recovered in time to complete its other two flights. At the next comp it aggregated 8:38 for two flights, both comps taking place in windy conditions. The model was lost a fornight later. Cassandra II was built indentically with MkI and performs equally well.
The model is trimmed to fly in left-hand circles. No trouble will be found in towing up provided the model is accurately built and the CG is where shown. With careful use and selection of wood the minimum weight of 14-1/2 oz. can easily be managed and you will find it an extremely tough model to prang..."

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.
