....You would'nt know where I could get a set of plans for it do you. Cheers Rob.
I built mine from copies of the article in Model Aircraft, which you'll find attached here.
For scaling it up, just remember that the span is 38 inches and the distance between wing ribs is 2.5 inches.
Built as per plan, but with a modern radio (FlySky 2.4 GHz 6-channel receiver, 800 mAh AAA Sanyo Eneloop pack and 15 gram servo), I obtain a weight of 15.5 ounces which is 4.5 ounces lighter than the original. The model flew right off the board on a calm day and needs only 1 mm packing at the tailplane T.E. on windy days.
The ancient Baby Bee with an old Top Flite nylon 6x3 prop is almost too much power at that weight.
Covering is printer laminating film (like Doculam or the 15 mil film here:
http://www.oregonlam.com/thermrf1.htm#1512500 ), over which I doped tissue paper.
The tissue is applied wet and doped through. Of course, this first coat of dope blushes, but the blush disappears with the second coat.
I found that adhesion of the tissue is improved if the film is first sanded lightly with 800 paper then washed with white vinegar to prepare the surface.
The black trim is also paper doped over the tissue. Engine cowl is retained by two magnets, very convenient!
Happy flying.
