Hi Mary and Steve, I hope that both of you are safe and healthy. In going through the Outerzone website, which both of you should be congratulated on, I noticed that the Black Baron Special (oz7212) is uncredited, as to the designer.This really great advanced trainer was designed by Henry Haffke. If you take a look at his Sort-A-Scale Fokker (oz10447), both this model and the Black Baron Special are virtually identical.
In the last paragraph of the Sort-A-Scale Fokker, Henry writes: "If you would like to build a Fokker, but don’t enjoy making your kit, I have good news for you. Coverite is working on a kit of this model…" Both of these airplanes are spectacular flyers. Years ago, the Sort-A-Fokker met its demise due to radio failure. The Black Baron Special is still flying, now as a club trainer, restored, lightened and converted to electric. Also, compare the Special with Henry’s Giant Pea Shooter (oz8764). Revisiting the Special wants me to build an electric version of this trainer. Alas, too many projects, and my hands don’t work as well as they used to. Best to both of you for such a great job, and this spectacular website,

Excellent, many thanks, have set the designer as Henry Haffke, now.

Brilliant plane, I covered mine with silk, and painted it pink fitted with an OS .48 fs four stroke and Futaba radio, its life was ended with my silly inverted passes between two trees. I will try and post a picture of it.

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.
