Dido 1A (oz4481)
About this Plan
Dido 1A. Free flight glider model.
Quote: "Dido 1A. The Dido 1A is a 36 in span glider offered as a 1/3rd size plan. It featured a two-piece wing and a removable tail section so it would go in a modest sized model box for transport. Remember that we usually went about on bikes or public transport in those days. The design characteristics included a Clarke-Y-like section, diamond fuselage, high mounted tailplane and the wing mounted on a pylon with tip dihedral. I nice little project for someone who had already built a few models. "
Quote: "Hi, This time to the February 1996 issue of AEROMODELLER with... free flight plans to pass along the first being a vintage glider originally from the February 1946 Aeromodeller. This was published in the '50 Years Ago' column. It’s DIDO 1A by A.O. SUTCLIFFE. It’s an attractive 36 inch Glider tow line glider designed to fit into a small model box."
This is not a full size plan.

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.
