About this Plan
Miles Magister. 52in span Scale FF model from Model Aircraft, June 1950.
Quote: "The Magister was a result of a desire on my part to build something a little different. In 1948 I designed and built a 48in span Blackburn Firebrand and it was after my experiences with this model that I took up my pencil and evolved the Magister. The low-wing bug had got me, and it's problems only increased my interest.
An initial trouble was a tendency to swing right on take-off, and this was found to be entirely due to careless launching. The large side are of the Magister makes it a good weather vane! This does not matter once she is well airborne, but if the model is launche or made to takeoff ROG with the wind blowing from its port side, it has great difficulty in circling left into wind. So be warned, always lanch straight into wind, or with thw wind coming slightly from your right and you will have no trouble in this respect.
Do not expect the Magister to have a rocket-like climb; with the Mills 1.3cc engine scale flight is obtained, the model cruising up in a steady climb. If over elevated a steeper climb is obtained but a stall will develop on the glide..."

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.
