About this Plan
Miss Playmate. Radio control sports model for .35 power.
Quote: "First place trophy winner for best Sport Aircraft Design at the '71 Toledo Conference, Miss Playmate seems to have a strong resemblance to some vintage sports plane of a bygone era. Completely aerobatic with a .29 to .35 engine, she is a tail-dragger with plenty of eye appeal.
Miss Playmate! A funny name for an airplane you say? But that's just what she is, a rugged, sturdy little tail-dragger with plenty of eye appeal and flying ability that is bound to capture and thrill the Sunday sports flyer. One can see many airplanes in Miss Playmate as she sits on the flight line poised for flight. A strong resernb lance to some vintage sports plane of a bygone era. Or maybe an EAA home-built you saw at Rockford some years ago. It was the desire for this full size realism that prompted the aesthetic lines of Miss Playmate.
Miss Playmate is not a magic design to end all designs. No fancy formulas were used but rather basic fundamental areas and moments make up her design. She is not a hybrid or an aerodynamic wonder; however, she is completely aerobatics and will do the AMA pattern for the most part.
Flight and utility were also a prime consideration in her design. She is something more than a box with wings and endures the steady trips to the flying field with little maintenance other than cleaning. Our flying field at Tri-Valley is sod. Although it is excellently maintained by the field owner and fellow club member Cliff Bennett, it is not like flying from a hard surface. In fact, most of my nine years of flying has been from a sod field. For this reason it is necessary for us to use a little more power and larger wheels.
The ST .35 represents more power than is needed to fly Miss Playmate, however, weight and field conditions dictate the power requirements for ROG on sod. A good .29 would seem like an average engine size. I used the .35 simply because l had one doing nothing..."

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.
