This classic Bill Dean F/F sport model also makes a fine R/C electric. Mine in the photos [see more pics 003, 004] is the seventh Bandit I have built - first six were in the late 1950s and were all F/F of course. This one has a 150 watt out runner propped down to 120 watts, R/E/T control and weighs 16 ounces. It is a lively performer with a steep spiral climb at full throttle and a great glide.Sundancer - 25/03/2016
Hello to you up there from down here. My aeromodelling began around 1952 when I lived in the UK. My first attempt, an Auster Arrow flying scale series from KeilKraft. I always longed for the day I could afford to buy the larger kits but only managed to build the Pirate using a second hand E D Baby purchased by mail order from Bud Morgan in Cardiff for 26/-. Your site has been a wonderful discovery for me and I thank you beyond measure for it. I am sending you this recently completed Bandit photo [more pics 005]. It is electric powered and covered in the old fashioned way with fabric and doped. I have used the iron on stuff but I still like the satisfaction of watching the material shrink and the drumskin texture when complete. Regards from New Zealand.

Hello. As I'm shortly to start my third Bandit in 52 years, I thought you and your readers might just be interested to see pictures of my first two. The poor black and white image dates from 1966 [more pics 006]. This was my very first power model and rather unsurprisingly it flew well with the way too powerful A-M 15! At age 11, I hadn't quite understood the need to shape the lower cowling blocks. The second model is from 2016 and the image posed in the same way as 1966 [more pics 007] is after a few early encounters with stray bushes! This one has been flown very regularly and really performs well with its Indian Mills 1.3 [more pics 008]. The flying shot is from its first season [more pics 009]. The new one will again be pure free flight; I am lucky to have access to a good large flying site.

Hi, I love browsing your site. Attached are photos [main pic, 010] of my twice size KK Bandit powered by a Saito 50 turning a 14x4 prop. It flies on tick-over with great presence in the air. Regards,

Here's my KK Bandit [pic 012]. Another RCG build-off exercise - VOK - vintage oldtime kit. Increased from original 44" span to 48". 3-function r/c - rudder, elevator, throttle. Covering is Esaki tissue overdoculam. Engine is Aurora Mills 1.3cc with throttle.

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.
