Heat Seeker Mk III (oz3094)
About this Plan
Heat Seeker III. Free flight model for Jetex power.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Here's the Heat Seeker Mk.III, a little 28in Jetex glider by Ken Whiting that won a 1st in the 1963 USAF World Wide championship. The scan was from Flying Models November '66. I built and flew this beauty somewhere in 1968-72, but definitely not with the same results. Back then, living in the middle of nowhere there was no possibility other than enlarging the drawings by hand on my father's drawing board, which I had to do for this and all my other models I flew. This taught me how to draught, to be accurate and as demanding as the original author of these beautifully clear designs, to develop the ability to visualise objets in three dimensions in my mind's eye, and it also taught me to work fluently both in Metric and Imperial Systems, switching between both with absolute ease. All this was of immense benefit when I went to college and later to work for an US engineering firm. This latter ability was greatly valued there but for me it was entirely natural :) "

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.
