Frisco Kid (oz8392)
About this Plan
Frisco Kid. Pylon power model.
Quote: "Here is the hottest free flight gas design to appear during 1954 - just in time for this year's international FAI events! The Frisco Kid, by John Tatone.
Here is a real competition airplane. Originally designed for FAI competition, it has won its share of prizes in Class A, in tough California contests. Simple to build, clean in design, the Frisco Kid barrels up there, right in the groove, flight after flight.
This plane takes off beautifully, a email item, but important in FAI competition. And because of its speed, the Frisco Kid rolls out on top of the climb, without any lose of altitude, into a nice floating glide.
If you want to collect a little hardware, read on pardner, and we'll tell you how to make one of these things!
The quarter-size plans are very easy to scale up, due to the straight lines of the model. All ribs and bulkheads are shown full size. The wood used should be picked for strength and lightness.
FUSELAGE: Select two evenly matched 1/8 sheets and cat out the fuselage sides. Cement 1/16 sheet backing to the tail end of the aides. Cut out the plywood firma and landing gear bulkheads. Next, fasten nuts on the back of the firewall to hold the engine..."

Hello, here again after nine days in the hospital I have found that one of the new plans incorporated has been the FRISCO KID. I have done it in scale for 1/2. Two - one for me and another for my son and this is the result [more pics 003-010].AntonioRG - 06/02/2017

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.
