Miss Keeto (oz7903)
About this Plan
Miss Keeto. Low wing sport model for .19 - .40 power and 2 channel radio.
Quote: "Miss Keto, by Ted Strader.
The Scorpion (oz1136) had hardly made its first pass of the field when I began to envision a low wing configuration of the same size - using essentially the same general type wing structure. There was a long stretch of time between the original thought and any tangible ex-ample of what path that thought would finally take.
Early this year I finally got around to scribbling out some ideas. The basic thought was la build a squarish type which would be strong, spacious and still have appealling lines. 'Miss Keeto' is certainly spacious with regard to places to install equipment. You should encounter no difficulty installing any of the modern, as well as some of the older bulkier rigs still floating around.
At one time I planned to mount the rudder and elevator servos, of my new single channel dual simultaneous pulse system up in the cockpit enclosure. The third servo for throttle can be positioned on the ledge at the rear of the tank cavity just beneath the forward hatch cover..."

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

Ted Strader was a prolific designer back in this time period. I built several of his designs back in the day. All of the ones I constructed, Nomad, Gypsy and Easy One, suffered the same design flaw, insufficient dihedral. With no ailerons, rudder control just wasn't enough. The Nomad and Easy One were a little sluggish but the Gypsy was unflyable. If you build this good looking model, save yourself some heartache and add ailerons.DougSmith - 26/07/2016
Ted Strader died recently, in October of 2015. I built his Miss L and Whirlwind with added ailerons, coupled to the rudder, which had to be done to fly a 4 function plane with a 3 channel radio. Both flew well. The Miss L was in Flying Models and the plans had dimensions and full size patterns so scratch building one from just the magazine article was a breeze. (You have those plans posted and I recommend that one.) Doug S. makes a good point though, rudder only planes need dihedral to turn, and low wingers need even more. But RO planes can fly very well indeed if you get 'em right.

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.
