Rocketeer A (oz4975)
About this Plan
Rocketeer A. Free flight gas model.
The Maurice Schoenbrun Rocketeer (oz1083) design was first published in Air Trails, November 1939. This here is a smaller version at 40 in wingspan. Reprinted in MB, June 1987.
Quote: "Old timer of the month. Text by Bill Northrop. The Rocketeer A is a smaller kit version of the original design by Maurice Schoenbrun.
The kit was produced by H&F Model Airplane Co Brooklyn New York, and the box cover (provided, along with the plans, by Al Wolsky) proclaims 'Sixty five minutes at the Nationals.'
The span is 40 in; area 320; length 32 in; NACA 6409 airfoil; and a recommended weight of 18-1/2 oz. The original Rocketeer which spanned 60 in, for class C, was published in our June 81 issue. Balance point of that version was at 50 percent of wing chord.
The flight pattern for the C version was left under power (two degrees left thrust) and right glide (wash-in on right wing and right rudder)."
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Hello, to complete your plan, I send pictures of my Rocketeer A, 1941 [more pics 006-014]. I built the model as planned on Outerzone. I installed the MP JET classic 0.6 ccm diesel engine. The cover is Airspan. The model is published at www.khmm.cz.

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.
