User comments

There is a brief one paragraph comment on the Hot Canary plan in the article “RCM Racing Report” by Dick Tichenor on page 45 in this May 1972 issue. The article begins on page 42. The Hot Canary plan is on page 47. Here is the one paragraph comment:
For those of you who would like to try something a little different, we’re presenting a set of plans from the Northrop Model Airplane Club Newsletter for the Hot Canary, designed by Gus Morfus and Jack Headley to conform to Northrop M.A.C. Quarter Midget racer rules. A scale is presented on the plans for easy enlargement for those who would care to try this interesting low wing aircraft. –Dick Tichenor
Note that Dick Tichenor’s last words of comment on the Hot Canary are “low wing aircraft.” This Hot Canary plan is presenting an option to build it as a biplane or low wing monoplane. The Northrop MAC Quarter Midget Racer Rules specify a minimum wing area of 300 square inches for both biplanes and monoplanes. The plan is showing a wing cord of 7 inches. 300 divided by 7 is a 43 inch minimum wingspan for the monoplane option. By the rules, the biplane option could be built with a minimum wingspan of 21.5 inches. This Hot Canary plan is showing a biplane option with a wingspan of 25 inches. If one chooses to build the monoplane option of the Hot Canary, it’s up to the builder to decide what the wingspan length is going to be. By the rules, the minimum wingspan length allowed for the monoplane option on this Hot Canary plan is 43 inches.

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.
