Attached a photo of my father, Franco Balsi, at the age of 14 in summer 1943, some days before the Italy surrender in II WW [see more pics 003]. The Aircraft is the "Esso Glider" - the name is the Italianized version of Exxon oil company. The model was sponsored by the company for a monotype contest that was never held due to the war facts.Pit - 16/10/2015
The Esso-glider is still in the making [004,005]. I will keep you posted with a picture by the time the model is finished. Kind regards,

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.
