Shoestring (oz4256)
About this Plan
Shoestring. Control line model.
Quote: "Here’s an eye-catching model of one of the neatest little racers ever to take to the air. Encouraged by the American Goodyear Trophy contest rules, home-builders produced an exciting crop of original racing designs, with Mercury Air’s Shoestring possessing the most elegant and refined lines of ail, adequately matched by the tiny machine’s contest successes. These included the winning of the Continental Motors’ Trophy at Detroit in 1951, when John Paul Jones flew the midget around the course at 197.2 mph... The model uses a 1.5 c.c. motor, and features simple, strong construction so that you can have Shoestring in the air in a very short while indeed..."
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

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.
