Quote: ""Be the Local Champ! Build a Cloudcraft Commander. This season's sensation.
The Cloudcraft Commander possesses beautiful lines and its appearance will satisfy the most discriminating model builder. Although a first class competition model, it is not difficult to build, and should be within the capabilities of any constructor.
It conforms to full Wakefield specification, apart from its slightly lower weight. This can easily be brought up to the required figure, ie 8 oz, by the addition of a larger rubber motor.
The Commander features the Grant X-8 wing section, well known for its stable and slow flying qualities, and consequently has a very flat, slow glide, which will take full advantage of thermal currents.
Wing and stabiliser are fully detachable, for ease of transport, as also is the nose-block and sprung shock-proof landing gear.
The kit is complete in every respect, and contains everything required to build this grand model, with an allowance for wastage...

Good morning Mary. Some photos of the 1939 Cloudcraft Commander ( Oz 9973 ). Your plan and a Belair parts set are an easy way to produce a serviceable model [model photo & more pics 003-004]. Thanks for your great site.TrevorT - 24/05/2019
Here are a couple of photos of the Commander [006,007], a very nice flyer.

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.
