Looking for a plan
 

Many years ago I had a plan for a small profile Nieuport biplane, designed by Chris Soenksen, published by ACE R/C. It was designed to use the ACE pulse rudder only system. Who out there has a copy of that plan to share?

The only ace plan i've been able to find is the mini ot on outterzone

ACE Mini Neuport Plan Found!
 

Well! After almost 50 years and 6 major moves I finally found where I stashed my copy of the ACE R/C Mini Neuport 17 Profile plan. The instruction sheet that came with the plan has a copyright date of 1969 so I assume I can safely post the plan and instruction sheet on this forum for everyone to enjoy. My scanner is not large enough to copy the drawing on a single sheet so I had to make six 8.5" x 11" sheets which I saved as .pdf files. All you have to do is print out each sheet, then piece them together to make a working drawing. This plan was developed for the ACE R/C pulse rudder system and a Cox .020 engine. There should be no problem adapting the model for electric power and rudder/elevator control. The model could easily be altered for aileron control. It will probably be a while before I get to building this model. Once I get to it I'll post a build log.

Hi There!
I have access to a large scale scanner and a full size plotter. If you are willing to share, and send it to me, I will scan it and post it full size for the group. I'll even return it with 5 full size print outs for your trouble. I'd like to follow along with you on the build....

RickP,
Much thanx for the offer. I took the plan to my local copy shop, then made a copy available to our local AMA Region IV AVP, Ray Stinchcomb, who will have the plan posted to the https://outerzone.co.uk/ web site. It may be a few weeks before that plan gets posted. If it doesn't show up by the first of the year I'll send you a printed copy for scanning and posting.

Profile Nieuport
 

Hi

I had the plans scanned and then I sent them to outerzone a few days ago. I know that it takes several days to get posted but it will be there.
Now we need to find the third plan, the Fokker D-VIII. I already have another friend who wants the Fokker plan.

Ray

Ray,

Much thanx for the follow-through. I, too, am looking forward to seeing the D-VIII plan made generally available. That would be a "Hat Trick" to see all three in the air at the same time.

FWIW, I plan to use a Park 180 motor with a 2 cell 180 mAh battery along with a Spektrum AR6400 Rx. That combination might not be enough to properly power one of these models but that would be my starting point.

V/r,

Casey

Just got this message from Ray: It made it onto outerzone.

So two of the three Chris Soenksen mini-plane plans are now available at Outerzone! Does anyone out there have a copy of the third plan that they could share?
