About this Plan
Das Kraut. Control line stunt model.
Quote: "Das Kraut is a new breed of stunter designed for the novice builder, but with winning capabilities. It took two other models and much experimentation, but finally the right wingspan and the right moments produced a competitive design without major construction problems. The airplane looks different and receives above average originality points. The finish is not as fancy as some other planes, but the originality points make up for this. I have received many compliments on the design; it always makes a good impression on contest judges.
I also have trophies to back up the capabilities of the plane. I placed first in every contest in which I entered during 1972, including Junior Class at the '72 Nationals' a total of nine trophies for the airplane in one year.
Before construction, I have a few tips that have helped make this a highly competitive model.
LANDING GEAR: The landing gear is removable and has adjustable springs for different landing surfaces. A hard landing, or too large a loop, can bend the gear. If the gear is removable, re-bending the wire is much easier and the whole landing gear can be replaced if necessary. In addition, finishing a plane..."

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.
