Out O Sight (oz367)
About this Plan
Out O Sight (OOS). Free flight power model with pylon layout.
Update 1/3/2022: Replaced this plan with a clearer copy, thanks to JJ.
Note the Out O' Sight was designedback in 1939. This here is a later redrawn plan, from MB in 1974.
Quote: "Old Timer Model of the Month. Designed by Tom Cross. Redrawn by Phil Bernhardt.
The Out O' Sight was patterned after the Megow Ranger, and was first built in September 1939 by Frank Cross (killed in WW II as a bomber co-pilot). It flew out of sight at its first contest, which de-termined its name and also earned it first place.
The design was adopted by the Chicago Model Nuts as the club model. Hal Beebe lost the first of many to fly away. Warren H 'Yogi' Vorman also won many places with the design. The last OOS was lost by Yogi at the 1948 Chicago Aeronut contest.
Authentication of the design was made in 1956 by Jim Baron and in 1956 by Warren Vorman. Dotted lines indicate changes made by Vorman, including the simplified, all sheet diamond fuselage.

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.
