Hots II (oz4095)
About this Plan
Hots II. Radio control 'High performance fun-fly model' for 4 channel RC and .40-.45 power. Midwest kit no. 164.
Quote: "Before You Begin. The Hots first appeared as a construction article in Model Airplane News. Its performance quickly made it a very popular fun-fly model, which prompted Midwest Products to offer it in kit form as a one-piece, quickly built, high-performance model - Hots (oz4581). In filling out the evaluation card in that kit, many modelers suggested changes and improvements that would make the Midwest Hots easier to build and maintain. These suggestions have resulted in Midwest updating this popular kit.
The Hots II has a removable wing to allow easy access to the radio and fuel tank. The airframe has been strengthened to provide you with a model that will give many more hours of enjoyment. Fuel capacity has been increased and a stronger landing gear and cowling have been added. The center of gravity and control throws have been modified to provide smoother control and better handling."
Quote: "Here is the Hots 2 from Midwest, scanned and cleaned from the kit plan. This is the big brother of the Electric Hots (oz4086) posted a couple of days ago. I've included the build manual as a supplement. This plan find was the definition of serendipity (the accident of finding something good or useful while not specifically searching for it). A club member, not flying much anymore, stopped by our field for a visit. I asked him if he had any old plans collecting dust. He answered, 'Just this morning I tossed a dozen plans in the trash'. I followed him home and found all neatly rolled, sticking straight up from two trash pails. Trash pickup was scheduled for the next morning with rain that night."

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.
