Performance Kits, Owl. 29"Span. O.F.W. Fisher. 1968
Description: Performance Kits, "Owl" 29" Tow-line glider.
Designed & draughted by Ocean Francis William, "Peter", Fisher.
Kit first issued December 1968.

This a re-assembly and cleaning up of an original plan from a two part PDF scan given to me by Gray of the North Cotswold MAC who had it from Simon Rogers.

The PDF scans of the plan are included for reference and comparison as are PDF copies of the kit instruction sheet and an Aero Modeller review and build summary from June 1969.

I have made only one significant change. The plan view is now symmetrical. I have used the profile from the starboard side for the port side. There is a noticeable asymmetry in the original which I put down to the inaccuracies of manual draughting. The result is a slight thickening of the stern-post.

Other changes.
- Reduction of duplicated text on the plan.

- Main part profiles included on the plan as well as on a separate A4 sheet.

- Fuselage formers included on separate A4 sheet.

Please note that these template sheets are taken from the redraughted plan and not the scan of the PDF print wood. Use either the redraughted material or the original. Do not mix and match.

- Wing tip construction detail added.
This is based on the photograph of a built example and you may need to tinker a bit to get things right when you build the wings.

- No laminations for the noseblock. I've assumed that for a plan build a solid nose-block will be carved so have given the top and side templates instead.


Wood weight suggestions.

Spars, LE - hard
Noseblock - medium.
Bulkheads - medium
Ribs - medium
Fuselage sheet. Sides, Ventral - medium, Dorsal soft.
Stabilizer - medium, but choose the lightest med. you can.
Fin - medium
