Courier (oz6395)

About this Plan

Courier. Rubber sport model.

Quote: "Build the Courier, a general purpose low-wing monoplane.

One sees so many of the conventional high-wing monoplanes that the low-wing, in spite of its slightly inferior performance, exercises considerable attraction. This model, which was intended for general knock-about use, was flown over a period of two years, during which time it proved to be more consistent than spectacular. The average of six flights made in succession was 92 seconds, no flight being shorter than 90 and no flight longer than 94 seconds.

While not intended as a 'thermal catcher' it nevertheless turned in occasional flights rather above the average, 2 minutes 18 seconds being the longest timed flight, although this was undoubtedly exceeded in many flights which were not timed.

Construction. The plans must first be drawn out full size and pinned to the building board... "

Note this is not a full size plan, this is a scan of the drawing as originally printed in the magazine.
