About this Plan
Seven-Eleven (7-11). Class A free flight power model. Wing area 515 sqin, with K&B Torpedo .19 engine shown.
Quote: "It takes a special breed of free flight ship to fly well and stand up in New England where the wind always blows - well, almost. Seven-Eleven by Fred W Schmidt.
This ship has been designed for rough New England flying. The terrain, and the weather have caused many of our ships to be literally torn to shreds when-ever they hit a large bush or ended up in a tree. Most of the planes today are built with extremely large wins and stabilizer areas, so in order to bring down the ship s weight, strength is sacrificed, resulting in folding wings and three-piece fuselages. The '7-11' is constructed more strongly with a smaller wing area, without sacri-ficing the gliding ability of the ship. Also, a smaller stabilizer area results in a much faster recovery after climb; it is the type of ship that can take more than its share of punishment.
Start fuselage sides by tracing dotted lines upon 1/8 in medium soft sheet balsa; cut and cement tail end together. Place in formers F-1 through F-11, omitting F-4 and F-3. (Caution: keep fuselage in line.) Trace and cut out two P-5's and formers F-4 and F. Cement together, forming box spar for pylon; then cement securely into fuselage, being certain it is in the right position according to plans. Next, finish cutting out parts for half pod and assemble. While this is drying, cut in half a 1/16 x 3 x 36 in medium soft sheet of balsa and proceed to cover the top half of the fuselage. Start by notching out for the box spar and working from either side, cement top right side plank in place first. After this has dried, trim to suit formers and to fit flush with left side plank. Apply left top plank, following the same procedure as for the right side plank. Next, plank top of pylon pod, following same procedure.
You are now ready to apply the pylon covers. This is where a great deal of patience is required..."

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.
