Barons Buggy (oz10720)
About this Plan
Sig Baron's Buggy. Radio control sport biplane model.
Quote: "Join the Aces - build the BARON'S BUGGY! SIG's new WWI semi-scale biplane single cahannel RC sport model. Here's your chance to get in the fun of flying in that wonderful world of old fighting crates of the Spad and Fokker era - with the Baron's Buggy, a sturdy Little 34 in span lightweight designed for quick building and easy flying in the hands of the average R/C sport flyer. Suitable for all .049 to .09 engines, it's fully aerobatic and has excellent penetration for windy weather flying. Kit features include top-grade die-cut Sig balsa, die-cut plywood ports, formed landing gear, 2 well-detailed plans (with twin Spandau machine gun drawings), authentic full-color decals and hardware. Your local hobby dealer has this hot one in stock now - and the price is a low, low $12.95."

Scan of SIG ad from October 1968 MAN announcing their new Baron's Buggy kit, is thanks to RFJ.
Note SIG developed this design later, as the Aerobipe (oz4092).
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Essentially the same as the Sig Aerobipe, just an earlier version. Sig still sells this decal set, I see them frequently at my local hobby shop https://sigmfg.com/collections/decals/products/sig-german-crosses-decal.dfritzke - 19/12/2018
I built mine from the kit, with lightspan cream film cover, mini servos and AP09. The AP09 is enough power but an OS09 or similar would be better, I re-engined with an AP15 which is just fine. I also added a cheap stabiliser (gyro) on the rudder which cured the really bad ground looping problems I had on the paved runway (Ok, a tailwheel and better piloting would also have done the trick!). Btw the large downthrust angle is ok for flight, saves altering the elevator trim in flight. The decals are very good and make for a handsome looking sport plane - not a comedy act at all, despite the marketing pitch (!).
Be careful not to land into wild flowers of similar colours!!

Here are some pics: one of my plane with the AP09 engine from 2018, also one with the AP15 fitted later (same mounting and crankcase, actually 1.35cc!). The ad says .049 to .09, but I think it would have to be built light for .049 and single channel hand launch only. Mine was easy to fly and flew quite gently with the AP09, but a tad more power would be better I thought (hence the AP15). Note to fliers; Rudder control is very powerful! For fun I have added a pic where it landed (!) in a large patch of yellow wild flowers - it was impossible to see until I was very close! [pics 004-006]

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
