Default RE: Scaled Tiporare Plans

Guys,

The zip file contains the 4 plans in appropriate dimensions in JPG format - useful for screen viewing or making any markings say in Photoshop. However, don't make any scale modifications to these. The other 4 links are the respective plans, again full scale, in PDF format - these are the ones to take to Kinko's (or the like). Note that if you want to make any scale tweaks, I recommend using the full size 60 original plan. Illustrator works best for this. A couple of other notes:

The centerline of the fuse on the top view is now parallel with the horizontal (along with the wheel base). The original scan had the plan slightly twisted so things were just a a little skewed (just a matter of pinning your plan slightly off square I suppose - not anymore). Note also that the datum line (tuck line) coincides with the 0 deg stab line and is also level.

If you don't run a pipe under the wing it is important to decrease the anhedral angle on the stab. This would apply for a side mounted pipe and/or a pipeless/electric version. Details are covered in the original RCMB article.

The unit scales shown on the plans are approximate. Plans were scaled to 2 decimal places in order to arrive at the desired wingspan.

Here are the links:

Enjoy!

Can't wait to start building one of them (I think I might start with a 20 size).
