Miss Tiny (oz76)
About this Plan
Flying Weight 21oz. 46in span, 6.5in chord. Power with Ohlsson23 etc.
Quote: "MISS TINY This splendid model was designed late in 1938 to use the so-called small bore engines like Trojan, Phantom and Ohlsson 23. It was a reduced size version of Modelcraft's 66 inch span Pacific Ace (oz6825) but with parallel chord wings and soon began to make an impression in the limited engine run competitions that had replaced the fuel allotment rules.
The design had a long lease of life and, when control line came along, a number were modified with belicrank and elevator. (Champion control line flyer Bob Palmer built Miss Tiny as his first power model and he flew it in some early control line competitions.) Modelcraft sold the kit as a control line 'goat' well into the 1960s and even then the usefulness of the design had not run its full course and a number were fitted with early radio control.
Miss Tiny has always been a special favourite of mine, its sheer beauty of line marks it as the best proportioned of all the 1939/1940 period gas models shown in the magazines of the time. The aluminium nose cowling, multi-stringered forward fuselage, turtle back and realistic cabin arrangement were responsible for the oft made claim that this is a 'real airplane in miniature'. Despite having everything going for it, I never cease to be amazed at the low numbers of this model that appear to be built by present day vintage enthusiasts..."

Hi there, Thought you may like the pictures of my recently restored Miss Tiny for your wonderful web site. I painted it up just like my father's model, Alex Imrie and that's his article with a picture of him and his model [main pic, 003]. Best wishesAlisdairImrie - 26/05/2016
Hello Mary, Attached are photos of my Miss Tiny [pics 008, 009]. I used your plan oz76, which I modified from a free flight to a 3 channel RC. It's powered by an OS-10FP and controlled with 3 Hitec micro servos. It's covered with silkspan and painted with Randolph Dope. Because of the high landing gear, I had to hand launch it. The OS-10 delivered so much power that once airborne, it only took minimal power to keep it flying. Thanks for your awesome website... It keeps me active with building and flying models. Thank you,

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.
