Is there a missing sheet? What's on it?

I have this kit and box and a full set of plans if anyone needs the missing sheet.

I'm happy to see the Liberty Belle on Outerzone. Here is the link to the Vimeo video: https://vimeo.com/56799463. Also attached some more pics here [006-009]. Thanks for all you do for our hobby,

Hello, this plane has a very long tail and that is why it generates a strong rearward imbalance. Is it possible to move its CG back enough for it to balance correctly?

Tiger 60 (oz11032) : 14/10/2024
Fair point. Ok have changed the spelling now to X-Kraft. The article text as printed uses the other spelling, which remains a source of some confusion.
SteveWMD :
X-Kraft (oz5769) : 14/10/2024
searched for ages on your site for this one, as X-KRAFT, not X-Craft.

Here's a photo of mine [pic 006]. One of my favourite Peter Rake plans; very simple to build - the full-size plane was designed for easy construction and repair while training pilots - and a great flyer which, although it will handle light...

I remember well the MRA issue with the plan of this very rare aircraft. When I was in holidays in France I always bought French RC modelling magazines. Years later I built the model with a wingspan of 1200 mm / 48 inches after the enlarged...

Thanks Craig! Yes, of course, a bladder tank! I am familiar but have never used one. Then again, the Marks Models Bushwacker came with parts to make a plywood muffler.. dave

One thing with conventional landing gear, the main wheels should be even with the wing leading edge with the tail up, If the wheels are too much forward of this, the thing will be easy to groundloop, once it goes, it will be hard to stop....

Will the ribs and formers be made available?

Jimmie Allen Thunderbolt (oz15547) : 13/10/2024
Had one in the 1980's and flew the heck out of it. Never had a bit of problems flying off grass or pavement as a tail-wheel model. Often used for club fun fly events. One of the best RC trainers ever made due to ultra simple construction...

The plan showing the formers is on ebay so you might be able to grab the missing part from there.

Pictures 3 and 4 were taken at Taft California--at the old "Condor Field". They probably date from the mid 1990s. I can't recall the name of the modelers in Picture 3, but Picture 4 is of the late Andy Faykun. The Whitman Albatross was...

The Biplum used rotation of the lower wings, all-flying ailerons if you like. This is indicated on the three view by the barely visible lines through the bottom wing

Biplum (oz7035) : 11/10/2024
Cabanes are integral to sides, longerons are cut. The side angle out and this method makes mounting at correct angle easier. If you feel it will weaken the structure there, you could put a thin piece of hard 1/32" thick sheet spanning the...
