About this Plan
Sorcerer. Free flight flying saucer sport model.
Quote: "BUILDING and FLYING NOTES:
1. Cement soft sheet for disc together.
2. Cut fuselage to shape shown on plan.
3. Cut and sand disc to shape and cut slots for fins.
4. Cement disc to body; ensure fin slots arc square fore and aft.
5. Securely glue engine mount in position.
6. Cement fins in position.
7. Cover with lightweight tissue doped on, and fuel proof.
Check balance point and if necessary add plasticise to bring this to the indicated position. Test glide and make any further adjustments by altering the reflex of the trailing edge. On full power with a 6 x 4 prop a near vertical climb should result, followed by a slow flat glide. Model will turn safely either way. Best flight 4 min 40 sec OOS from 8 sec run. Distance covered 7 miles."
Quote: "Hi Steve and Mary. Happy new year to you both. I have been looking through my boxes of plans and came across this one... I have found several plans that I dont think you have in Outerzone so try this one first. It is an 18in span F/F model taken from the centre page of a Model Aircraft magazine April 1956. Hope it gets to you. Terry."
Direct submission to Outerzone.

Hi, Just to add I designed the sorcerer when aged 19 in 1955. My club was Watford M.A.C. Saw several sorcerers decorated as Lady birds at All Herts Rally. Still flying in B'mouth.JohnTaylor - 12/08/2018
Excellent many thanks, have added your name as designer on this plan listing now.

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.
