November 1968 American Aircraft Modeler

[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 Corrigan that I electronically scanned from page 30 of my purchased copy of the November 1968 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the image below if you cannot find a source for ordering plans. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Bill Blanchard. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Corrigan is a surname of Irish descent that means "Spear".

The Corrigan is an all-balsa stunt type control-line model with a pusher propeller configuration. Note that the bellcrank and lead lines are in the right wing, setting it up for clockwise flight (as viewed from overhead).

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.
