The Aurora - Pattern Plane
Long ago I remember my uncle building an all wood kit of the Aurora and that name stuck with me.
What ever happened to that plane and does anyone have drawings to share with me? Ill compensate you for a clean copy of the drawings.
I dont remember the details of who designed it or which company made the kit. I do remember the plane was pretty large and used about a 90 rear exhaust tuned pipe set up that was concealed in the fuse. The horizontal stab had anheadral and in general the plane had a very sleek look.
I think it would be nice to have one today and make it electric.
Any help or photos would be great!
Chris

RE: The Aurora - Pattern Plane
Chris,
Jeff's electric Aurora scratch build would be a good place to start:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4978792/tm.htm
Mechanical retracts, plug-in wings and about 1800W I believe. I don't know whether he has maidened it yet. Beautiful model. Perhaps one of the most discussed in this forum.
Designed by Giichi Naruke and kitted by Masahiro Kato of MK kit fame.
The model may become available in the not too distant future as a glass/foam kit. A copy of it was done in the past in glass/foam and called the PA-2.
David.

RE: The Aurora - Pattern Plane
I see that you’re really looking hard for this plane.
The Aurora is a 60 size plane; The Aurora 90 is the same plane with firewall pushed back for a 4 stroke. There was only one Aurora.
The PA-2 was basically the FG version

Say guys, the Aurora doesn't have an anhedral stabilizer, right? Could he mean the Magic? That's the only other I can think off with the concealed tune.

I have a fiberglass chin cowl, clear petg canopy, and foam cores for this.

Most Japanese classics had no anhedral in the stab including the Aurora. It's basically a mid wing design so anhedral might not quite behave as desired.
