Title: Outerzone flying model plan site
Post by: Kenny Horne on June 20, 2011, 04:26:15 PM
Hey Gang,

Been tripping over the world wide web lately and came across this site. 
http://www.outerzone.co.uk/index.asp (http://www.outerzone.co.uk/index.asp)

The history behind it is that a bunch of guys on an RC forum started dumping old plans onto a thread, and someone thought that they should be catalogued and remain more generally available.  There are a couple thousand plans there, including some lifted from SMM and my own site.  Hundreds of old Comet, Megow, Burkeley, Scientific, Aeromodeller, etc.

I know that many of us here model in many forms, but even for the strict Solid models, a nice scale Control Line plan is a great source of profiles and cross sections. 

Take care, and Happy Belated Fathers Day to those with kids,

Kenny Horne

Hey Barry and Lou,

Yes this is the mother of all plan sites.  There have been a few, like my own, that have a smattering of plans, but nothing like this.  I asked one of the main contributors if he has any Solid plans, and he sent me back a link to his hard drive.  I downloaded the lot, and found that they were all things from either my site, or Ray's/SMM Gallery.  Oh well...

The "Tag Matrix Search" function, along with the regular search function make this collection a gold mine. 

Take care gang,

Kenny
