About this Plan
Hotter n That. Control line combat model for Fox 35 power.
Quote: "Many entrants raved about this hot combat job at 1951 Mirror Meet. Fox 33 for 43 inch wing. Hotter 'N' That, by William Shrader.
Hotter N That is an airplane designed for flyers who like a stunt plane that is fast, yet turns much tighter than the average stunt job. Since the start of the combat event, it has proven to be the ideal ship for combat flying.
The present design is a product of about three years ex-perimentation. In 1940, one of its predecessors placed in stunt at the Nationals, and the fonowing year placed fourth at the Mirror Model Flying Fair. In all the local contests that it has been flown, the model has always won two of the top three places.
The main object in building this ship was to make it as light as possible without sacrificing strength. The finished model should weigh about 19 ounces without landing gear, or 21 ounces with gear, As a combat ship, it is suggested that the landing gear be omitted. The wing was covered with red Silkspan, and the body was painted with yellow synthetic enamel, making a very light but attractive finish. It is suggested that a strong glue, such as Ambroid, be used in the front end section where it should be used liberally. The plans are for a clockwise flying ship, but can be easily reversed.
The wing construction is conventional, with the inboard wing one inch longer than the outboard wing. Cut out the ribs, eight with one spar notch, and eight with two. The full length 3/8 in square spar is spliced at the center, and the rib positions are marked on it. Then cement on the ribs with the ones with the two spar holes in the center section and cement in the short spar.
Next cement on the trailing and leading edges and wingtips. Then the bellcrank is mounted in the center of the wing, with 1/32 leadout wires, passing through 1/16 ID tubing in the tip. Next insert the 1/16 in pushrod and make sure the control system is free so far. Now put on the 1/32 in sheet leading edge, and add enough weight inside the outboard wingtip to slightly over-balance the longer wing and leadout wires..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

My dad built this model when I was maybe 10 years old. He flew it with a Fox 35on 70 foot steel cables. He painted the fuselage yellow and used clear silk for wing coverage. It was then that I became interested in airplane models and I especially remember Hotter 'n That. I'll be 82 years old in two weeks!Rich Ulrich - 19/03/2023

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.
