Missel Thrush (oz9793)
About this Plan
ANEC Missel Thrush. Free flight power scale model biplane. Amco .87 engine used.
Quote: "WE are particularly happy to be able to publish this flying model of the Missel Thrush as a Christmas offering to our many scale fans, but it is a pleasure tinged with some sadness for it represents the last contribution of our old friend and colleague Eddie Riding, so tragically killed in an air accident last Easter.
All Eddie's models have been faithful reproductions of an interesting, if not always a mass produced, original, built so far as practical in model sizes, rib by rib and spar by spar in duplication of the full-size prototype so that side-by-side photographs of aircraft and copy showed an almost indetectable similarity. The Missel Thrush is no exception.
Our flying tests at Eaton Bray spread over several weeks were well rewarded for our patience in trimming, with just that thrill inseparable from a well-built scale model of this kind, when at last we were able to watch a slow climb, gentle turn and finally a near 'three-pointer' landing. Almost might we expect the diminutive pilot to hop out and make purposefully for the clubhouse. If builders will exercise the same care and restraint in their early flights they too should enjoy equal pleasure.
Building instructions: The fuselage sides of 3/32 sq hard balsa are built flat on the side view in the popular manner. Construct the second side on top of the first to ensure obtaining exactly the same shape. When set, lift from plan and separate, after which the sides are erected upright on the top view of the fuselage to be joined by 3/32 cross-struts. These cross-struts must be cut to accurate length from the plan, in pairs..."

ScaleType: This (oz9793) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANEC_IV
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
