Albatross (oz4744)
About this Plan
Albatross. Free flight power model. Wingspan 80in, area 828 sqin, required weight 46oz.
The Albatross (oz5406) was first published in Air Trails 1941. This here is a later redrawn plan in MB, 1973.
Hi Steve - Here is George Reich's Albatross from Model Builder magazine issue 06-73. The plan was the 'Old Timer of the Month' for this issue.
Quote: "The Albatross was originally published in Air Trails April 1941 issue. George Reich may be better known for his designs and accomplishments in Wakefield, but in our estimation, this is one of the most beautifully proportioned gas models of all time.
The original Albatross used a Dennymite engine (ignition of course). However, it was suggested by the designer that the lifting stab thickness be increased to about 13/16 if a more powerful engine, such as an Ohlsson 60, is used. George felt that a lifting tail of proper thickness would eliminate the need for downthrust."

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.
