Zeek (oz7794)
About this Plan
Zeek. Free flight 1/2A model. 33in winspan, 176 sq in wing area, Originally designed by Lew Mahieu, redrawn for Nostagia Gas by Harry Murphy 10/80.
Quote: "Hi Steve/Mary, Please find attached plan for the Zeek a half A free flight model from Campbell's Custom Kits. I built the model a few years ago from their kit so not sure it qualifies as vintage or nostalgia. In any case it seems from their website that Mr Campbell has retired and these kits are no longer in production ... Have a great weekend and thanks again for such a fantastic website. Regards, Andy"

Hola too bad the ribs are not drawn.Pepper Ness - 05/04/2022
This was a kit and as such ribs, fuselage formers, etc came pre-cut or printed in a balsa sheet, and the plan was designed for assembly only. No Outerzones were foreseen back then :) In the plan, it appears the pylon top is straight, so I'd suggest you look at other pylon type plans with a flat bottom wing for inspiration on what section you like, and draw your own.

Zeek was made in different version with flat bottomed and undercambered airfoil. Here some suggestion to redrawn the flat bottomed ribs: https://freeflight.org/designer/lew-mahieu/

Zeeks were my favorite free flights. Use to fly with Arden .19 and later with K&B .19 Got to meet Lew Mahieu at the Nationals in 1953. At that time he was developing the Kiwi line of free flights. A real gentlemen! Sent me kiwi plans but never built 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.
