T9 Bleak (oz3017)
About this Plan
T9. Bleak. Free flight seaplane.
Quote: "The X-9 experiment lead to the 'Bleak', the model having a 67in wingspan of more rake in the tail, the wing section rather thick, purposely chosen for comparison with that of the X-9. Power-on speed increased, but the glide remained flat and slow. The new section allowed a much stronger structure, particularly in the root and joint regions. Bleak, like all other models, had a three-piece wing, the centre part built integral with the fuselage; the outer panels wer fastened with hardwood dowels. This was very handy for transporting and should the model suffer any severe impact on landing, the dowels sheared neatly at joints, leaving the wing panels intact. Tail planes were secured with rubber bands, allowing for trimming changes." ...from article in Aeromodeller Nov 1963.

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