Quote: "The sailplane enthusiast will welcome this new model by Phil Guilmant. It is the latest of a long line of successful specialist designs, and one that may be flown in SMAE and FAI contests. The Gili Chopper is a meticulously planned 48 in job with the greatest inherent ability and lowest sinking speed. It has been specially produced for serious competition flying. Kitted by Mercury is the modeller's guiarantee of a first-class deisgn coupled with first-class materials. Like all Mercury kits, the Gili Chopper is complete, accurate, and checked."

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.
