Cutlass (oz9300)
About this Plan
Cutlass XF7U-1. Simple scale model for Jetex 50 power.
Quote: "This twin-jet Vought fighter presents a formidable looking sight when streaking through the air. Featuring afterburners for extra speed, it does better than 700mph at high altitudes. At lower altitudes, the versatility of the Cutlass is evidenced by the low landing speeds available for carrier-based operations. Even with the limited amount of information supplied to the public, one still ponders over Navy claims that this plane can down the famed B-36 bomber. The general arrangement of this plane immediately made it a candidate for scale model jet flight, using a Jetex 50 for a power plant. Few models lend themselves as readily as the Cutlass did for this purpose. Difficulties in balancing and supplying sufficient cooling air for the jet unit are overcome by the unique structure of the plane. The plan is full-size and can be used by solid modelers to construct an exact replica for pedestal mounting. As for the flying version, all balsa should be very soft and light, since the model should not exceed 1-1/2 ounces, total weight for best performance..."

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.
