Hot Canary (oz7305)
About this Plan
Hot Canary. Free flight power model for .010 engines.
Quote: "Hot is just as good a way to describe our contest free flighter for this moth - designed for performance only, it really does its job. The Hot Canary, by William R Harding.
The Hot Canary was originally designed as a test bed for some theories that I had on tail moment arms. However, during the course of these tests, she proved herself worthy of more than this. When the present moment arm was reached, the Hot Canary developed a screaming climb, followed by one of the smoothest transitions I had ever witnessed. The glide is a thing of beauty to one who delights in a graceful float. This little ship will really hang, and with a thermal for help, will amaze you.
The contest season was over before the Hot Canary was developed, and we haven't had a chance to try her in competition. However, with next season coming, and with one of Cox's new, hot .020's up front, we have great expectations for this bird!
Construction of the Hot Canary is simple, and should not give trouble to even a novice. The main thing to keep in mind, is the choice of wood. All wood should be light and straight-grained. Because of lightness of small powerplant, be especially careful to keep construction light near the tail. The main trouble with most novices seems to be using wood that is heavier than necessary for the job it must do.
Let's start with the fuselage. Cut pylon to shape from 1/8 in sheet balsa. Pre-glue pylon parts where they join. When they are dried, coat joint again with glue, and pin together, make sure they are properly aligned. While this is drying, cut fuselage sides. When pylon is completely dried, pin fuselage side over plan. Pin pylon in place, and add 1/8 in square longerons, and uprights. Add other side. The wing and stab platforms are made from 1/16 sheet and glued in place. Keep grain running span wise in both platforms..."

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.
