Plans with minimum
instructions for the Miss Max free flight model were published the July 1961 issue
of American Modeler magazine. Bryant A. Thompson (AMA 2697 - USAF
Team Member), of Wichita Fall, Texas, placed third in the Open Clipper event at
the 1960 Dallas Nationals using his Miss Max cargo design. It lifted 40-½
ounces. The "300" ½A Free Flight and Clipper Cargo versions are both shown in the
plans. Scaling factors for "300" (Class ½A), "450" (Class A), and "900" (Class B)
model sizes are provided. A Cox Pee Wee .020 is drawn on the plans for the Cargo
Clipper version. In the top view, note that the wing is shown "flattened" (without
polyhedral). "Flat span" dimensions are what appear in the table.
Miss Max
Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a
full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They
will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because
my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing
plans also help to support the operation of the
Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1
advocate for model aviation throughout the world. If the AMA no longer has this
plan on file, I will be glad to send you my higher resolution version.
