Il Moar 1943 (oz9945)
About this Plan
Il Moar 1943. Free flight power model. Italian design. Wingspan 2400mm.
Quote: "The outbreak of WWII saw Arve Mozzarini in Guidonia, the most advanced Italian Aeronautical Research Center of the time. Arve worked along with many soon to be famous aeromodellers and aeronautical engineers. They were employed to build and test models in the vertical wind tunnel. During those years Arve was working around a gas model specifically designed for the pure delight of flight. Aesthetics at its best: 'Moar 43', one of most beautiful models ever conceived and, last but not least, a great flyer.
A balsa/spruce intricate structure full of compound curves, an elliptical wing with a straight leading edge and an up-to-date airfoil, the Naca 23012. The fuselage was of elliptical shape and well blended with the flying surfaces. The Moar 43 was extensively test flown in Guidonia and, after the armistice, it was confiscated by the Luftwaffe.
A few years ago Barry Horncastle and Brian Gowland, two English gentlemen, built the Moar 43 for RC. Both models are green, white and red (the Italian flag). Barry's Moar is powered by a four stroke, while Brian preferred to use an ignition Orwick 64 and to control the model with an uncoupled horizontal tailplane (just like a V tail). In an article published by Radio Modeller (11/87) Brian Gowland says that the Moar 43 is a breathtaking model, designed by the 'Aeromodeller's Michelangelo!'
The late Ben Buckle wrote in his catalog: First-rate aerodynamics, Italian style - a genuine work of art."

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.
