Texas BoWeevil Plans
October 1972 American Aircraft Modeler

October 1972 American Aircraft Modeler

October 1972 American Aircraft Modeler - Airplanes and Rockets     [Table of Contents]
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.

Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Here are plans for the Texas BoWeevil that I electronically scanned from page 23 of my purchased copy of the October 1972 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. The BoWeevil is a hand-launched glider that won 1st place in the Open and 2nd place in the Senior categories of the 1970 AMA Nationals in Chicago, followed by other wins as well. You might be able to scale up the image below if suitable plans cannot be located. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Don Chancey. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

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.
