I had a chance to fly one of these a couple of times, a long time ago. Handling, as I recall, was gentle, but it was a bit slow. It would probably make a good trainer. The first RC model I built was a House of Balsa 2T, which is very similar except for having a T tail, which was somewhat fragile during landings or when handling. As a practical model, the Pussycat is probably better. On windy days, I would bundle up a bunch of pennies in a rag or paper towels, as ballast. I think as many as 100. That helped some.
The spar cap is 3/8" X 1/8" spruce, which is probably overkill if straight grained and built with care. It would be strong enough that you could use a thinner airfoil, which ought to increase the speed range. Maybe it wouid also helped to raise the leading edge dowel slightly, so that the forward part of the underside of the ribs curves up slightly near the leading edge.
My 2T had a 3 piece wing, which was convenient in the car. It wouldn't be hard to do the same for this wing. The plans for the Olympic 650 show a similar setup, though I think you could probably get away with 1/8" music wire instead of 5/32". As long as it's real music wire, which is much stronger than most steel.

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.
