Skywalker .61 (oz8133)
About this Plan
Skywalker .61P. Radio control sport tailless model, for 60 power. Simitar series design by Bill Evans.
Note the Skywalker was published in three sizes as: Skywalker 1/2A, Skywalker .40 and Skywalker .61. All three plans were presented together in the same article, RCM March 1985.
Quote: "If you haven't tried the flying wing concept, this is a great opportunity. Presented in three different sizes by Bill Evans, so one should fit your needs ...on September 26, 1980, the first Skywalker took shape and was test flown. Powered by a K&B 3.5, it was performance plus! Shortly thereafter a .40 powered by a K&B 6.5FR was in the air. A week later the TD .049 (using a pen bladder tank) was flying. Amid phone calls for plans and cores for the first three sizes of the Skywalker, work began on the .61 size. Due to its size I found the .61 version to be the smoothest and easiest to fly of the lot. It's super stable and goes through the air like it's on a set of tracks."

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.
