Das Flugenghoster (oz5141)
About this Plan
Das Flugenghoster. Radio control sport model for .014 - .09 power.
Quote: "Das Flugenghoster was not chosen as a subject, it became a subject after it was completed. By this I mean the airplane was designed as it was being built. One evening, back in April, I took my wife to see 'The Blue Max.' This motion picture was one of the best of its type that I had ever seen, and planted the seed for Das Flugenghoster. The following day, at work, I was on the phone and the party I was talking to put me on hold. As is my custom, I started sketching an airplane on my scratchpad. Within a few minutes, I had sketched what is now Das Flugenghoster.
In building Das Flugenghoster, I've tried to incorporate most of the things that I find attractive in aircraft of this period. The wing, for instance, is a sort of semi-scale Eindecker type. The fuselage is somewhat Neiuportish, etc. These things, separately, are what I like. But when put all together, they seem to make a very nice looking airplane that pleases just about everyone. You may also like the crossed-axle shock absorbers used in the landing gear - it really works!
Although the building of Das Flugeng-hoster was fast, simple, and fun, flying it soon became the highlight of this project. A new Rand GG Pak was used for control and a Cox Medallion .049 was faking it as an Oberursel up front. The day finally arrived when it was now or never. I made sure my radio gear was working properly, set the surfaces at neutral, and fired up my engine..."

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.
