Deception 60:

I should point out that these plans are based on Jim Kimbro's original 60 size plan (last link) and other than being scaled down and cleaned up, they haven't been altered much. I changed the specifications to match the corresponding scale but none of the wood or component text has been modified. Builders have to select wood of appropriate size for the scale of model they are building. I have made an effort to scale the plans so that things like wood thickness, spinners, wheels and such reduced to a sensible size for that scale.

It is worth also pointing out that the Deception is an unusual classic for its time in that it is much more square than other contemporary models. As such, it has a wider shorter wing. Many 60 size classics had spans in the 65" to 70" range while the Deception has a 63" span while retaining the same or having a higher wing area than its contemporaries. The 45 sized version is in my opinion better suited to a good 40 size engine at 52" span. A 56" span version might be more appropriate for a hot piped 45 (e.g. a YS 45 FS) or a muffled 50. Depending on what you have in mind for a power plant, you may want to tweak the scale to suit your needs.

Finally, if you want to build a full size 60 model, you might want to scale up the 45 sized plans as they are cleaner and lighter. The original scan is a little heavy in terms of resolution but it is not needed for a printable build plan.

Happy building!

David.
