Strato Streak (oz298)
About this Plan
Strato Streak. Free flight pylon model.
The Strato Streak (oz67) first appeared in Air Trails, Dec 1941. This here is a modern CAD-redrawn plan by Gene Rock. Note this drawing has wingspan at a touch over 44in.
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Added some great pics of Strato Streak model built by Glen Poole, thanks to TomRyan. See http://www.thebuildingboard.com/2024/03/garami-strato-streak.htmlSteveWMD - 20/03/2024
Glenn has an electric motor on the nose of his Stratostreak. But in the recent past at various SAM Champs the 51 inch wingspan Stratostreak was a potent free flight model with an Irvine 2.49 diesel engine on the nose. And the 39 inch Stratostreak was a winner in 020 Replica with a hot little Cox 020 Tee Dee on the nose. In fact it was so good that the 020 Replica event was close to being a one design contest.

Oops call that dumb thumbs--it was an Elfin 2.49 diesel (although Irvine was one of several companies that made replica 2.49 engines).

I was gifted a 51 Stratostreak by Dr. K and I put an Argo Elfin in it from the Jack Bolton estate. I haven’t won anything yet in class A but it is pleasant to fly R/C Assist.
I know some people felt the need to have the elevator halves operate like ailerons but I just used a rudder which is 2/3 the area of the center fin. It works great in the climb but you need a LOT of throw in the glide. I may go with separate elevators in the Orwick 64 version.

Like the Kerswap, the Stratostreak took advantage of the temporary dropping of the cross section rule which was
L ² /100
It’s a true Pencil Bomber!

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.
