Warring Lightweight (oz4222)
About this Plan
Warring Lightweight. Rubber duration model.
Quote: "This lightweight is the latest of a long line of models which started with Ron Warring's British HL record holder of 1940 ( 26: 45,6 hand launch). The model featured here is the 1946 winner of the much coveted Gamage Cup - one of the most important annual contests held in the country. With the dethermalizer set for 15 minutes, its top flight was 22:48 and the aggregate sets a new record as the highest ever obtained in an SMAE contest.
On 80% turns, the still air duration is 3 1/4 minutes - amazing yet true. On good pre-war rubber it should do at least 4 minutes. A dethermalizer is a must, as the model recently turned in 10: 8 at 8pm in the evening, when all thermals were practically non existent..."
Quote: "I have just scanned two plans from the July 1948 Aeromodeller... second is the famous WARRING'S LIGHTWEIGHT, also scanned the build articles."

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.
