Hello Steve, Many thanks for this plan from you and also to JEM for providing it. Aeroflyte in Australia gave many a start in R/C model flying and the Hustler was one of their first Models. It was my first model controlled by radio and the first flight was at the hands (thumb) of Frank Hetridge (I hope I got the spelling correct) who was a well known modeler and a President for a time for the MAAQ in Queensland in Australia. To see my model powered by a Gordon Burford Glow Chief 19 go sky wards was like mixed emotions, (a bit like your mother in law going over a cliff on your new Harley Davidson motor bike), I had spent many (home work school) hours building this kit into a shape. Many thanks again Steve and it won't be long before you reach 6000 plans. Kind Regards,

Does anyone have a plan of the aeroflyte Hustler Mk2 please? It was popular in the 70's!

I learnt to fly on a Hustler mk1 that I built from an Aeroflyte kit some 40? years ago. My fourth one! Is now Electric power 4cells and Turnigy 42/35. I am now 84 years old and still get a kick flying it. I think it is one of the finest designs, have made a double size one! and a 36 inch one these both have aelerons, not really an improvement, it's best three channels I think. Best wishes,

Oh dear age has taken its toll of my memory. It was more like fifty years ago that I made my first one!
The double size one is actually a Midwest Esquire another great design that I have built many sizes of, starting with the Pip Squeak with Cox TD010.
On checking my Hustler current version has a 42_48 650 motor on 4 cells

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.
