Miss Flighty II (oz8519)
About this Plan
Miss Flighty 2. Sport model for single channel radio control, from Aeromodeller, June 1967.
Quote: "A 40-1/2 inch novel sports radio design for .8 cc. Miss Flighty, by J Roberts.
THOSE who like the unconventional will find Miss Flighty is one of the most reliable eyebrow raisers yet. Originally inspired by Ray Malmstrom's Miss Flighty Wings Club 16-1/1 in span rubber design in May 1964 Model Aircraft, she is 40-1/2 in wingspan and steered by single channel radio control. After an active life of over 100 flights, the prototype has retired to become a model shop exhibit in Cantonment, Florida, the designer's home town.
The fuselage is basically a box with 1/8 x 1-1/4 in sheet sides joined by 3/32 balsa formers and bulkheads of 3/32 plywood. First cut half formers (6 off) and ply bulkheads (2 off). Drill bolt holes for radially mounting the engine of your choice, side-winder style. A 3/4 to 1 oz tank should be attached to the bulkhead and mounting bolt holes for it should be located to starboard. Note that the centre line of the engine on the bulkhead is high due to the large amount of downthrust required.
Mount the escapement and the undercarriage onto the plywood centre bulkhead, 'sewing' the undercarriage wire in place and coating liberally with Araldite. Add formers to top and bottom..."

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.
