Dear Steve - the Amigo Plan needs a parts list.

Hi Steve and Mary; I have two Amigos built [see more pics 006, 007] . One with Japan paper, one with oralight. The last a real thermal glider. Thanks for OUTERZONE, Regards

Never say never. When I stopped sailing and took up model aircraft again I told Lindsay I would never fly RC again and stick solely to Free Flight. Herewith a 40 year old Amigo 2 I bought second hand and revamped. I stripped off the old solarfilm, extensively repaired the bare air-frame, re covered it in tissue, then put an old two channel radio into it. Flies beautifully. Lindsay got some fine shots, static and aerial [more pics 009-017]. Enjoy.

Added super photo of the finished model, thanks to Roman [model photo]. More images & info on his website: http://www.koralpe.com/graupner.html

Thanks for sharing. I built one many moons ago when I was a young man. I remember taking it up to fly on Ivinghoe beacon with my family. Sadly it didn't last long as I took off in a strengthening wind and on approach, it tip-stalled and barrel-rolled into pieces. Gutted was I. And my Dad had to witness another one of my creations take a tumble. That said, I'm now printing planes out, so it's all bad :-)

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.
