Bellanca Super Viking 300 (oz3065)
About this Plan
Bellanca Super Viking 300. Both stunter and scale model, for Control line. James Young's Bellanca Super Viking 300 from Model Airplane News issue 10-69.
Quote: "Dual purpose stunt, scale and fine stunt machine that has the possibilities of flying every maneuver better than most of the existing designs. Not exotic still has all of the looks necessary to impress the static as well as flying judges! Bellanca Super Viking, by James Young.
Occasionally an airplane comes along that must be built. My first view of the Bellanca sent me directly to the drawing board. Much to my surprise, the Bellanca was a natural. With the trend in stunt ships going toward jet type aircraft, the Bellanca stands out as unique without being weird or exotic. Its highly realistic design sacrifices nothing in terms of a good stunt ship.
For the moment, forget what the air-plane looks like and consider it strictly as a stunt ship. The basic design is similar to many successful stunt ships; however, many refinements have been incorporated to make the Bellanca fly every maneuver better than most existing designs.
The fuselage is reasonably deep, allowing for the use of a low wing, high stabilizer and high engine thrust line. The deep fuselage contributes to greater horizontal stability. The low wing and high thrust line make an extremely short, attractive landing gear possible.
This not only improves ground hand-ling, but improves inside maneuvers by concentrating the weight of the gear closer to the pivot point of the aircraft. The high stabilizer is out of the turbu-lence of the wing, a very important point as the Bellanca has an extremely thick wing.
The wing used on the Bellanca has been under development for at least ten years. Like most modern stunt ships the wing is similar to that of a Nobler (oz6212). There are however, several very important differences..."

ScaleType: This (oz3065) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellanca_Viking
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
