About this Plan
Batiri. Free flight power model.
Mexican model by J Manuel Tellez. Thanks to Pit for confirmation on this one.
Quote: "South of the Border Soarer. From down Mexico way comes this 'engineered' Half-A free flight; original version won 1st at Tangerine Meet. Batiri by J Manuel Tellez.
When I first seriously considered designing a F/F model that would stand a chance in a large US contest, I came to the conclusion that it would need a skyrocket climb and a slow soaring glide. As we all know, these characteristics are based on contradictory design principles. Every model designer is torn between the two, trying to reach a satisfactory compromise. I began to wonder if there was a way of changing either principle from the usual standards without sacrificing one or the other. After some thought I believe I succeeded in changing both and in incorporating these changes in Batiri.
My first aim was to gain maximum altitude during the powered part of the flight. This depended on two factors, the flight path and the speed. The model would gain the most altitude by traveling along a completely vertical flight path at the greatest possible velocity. I first concentrated on obtaining the maximum possible vertical speed and soon realized that it depended mainly on a relationship between power and weight. This can be more clearly understood by studying several mathematical formulas involving power, and starting with the one which defines it: P = (W x H)/T, where: W = weight in pounds; H = T height in feet; T = time in minutes.
In other words, power is equal to foot-pounds per minute. Since one horsepower is equal to 33,000 foot-pounds per minute, we can get horsepower from the previous formula by dividing by 33,000. The formula then becomes: HP = (W x H)/33000 T.
Since vertical speed is equal to vertical distance or height divided by time, the formula becomes..."

Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Hi Steve. Batiri was designed by J. Manuel Tellez of Mexico. There is some info on the Volar Libremente site but the article appears to be in Spanish: aeromodelismovolarlibremente.blogspot.co.ukBobP - 25/06/2016

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.
