Hot Canary (oz11812)
About this Plan
Hot Canary. Radio control scale model biplane racer.
Quote: "From Belgium comes this sport-scale racer for .45 to .50 motors. Hot Canary, by Stefan Van Nieuwenhove.
I ALWAYS have had an interest in obscure aircraft and in pylon racers (the real ones). So why not combine the two? About two years ago I drew the plans for this aircraft but because of lack of time (the eternal nightmare of a model builder) it was put away.
After misfortune eliminated one of my models I started looking for a replacement. When stumbling on Hot Canary plans I knew it was now or never.
Due to my very sparse documentation I would class this aircraft as sport-scale. The two major (intentional) modifications to the real aircraft are the shape of the headrest and of the wingtips.
Construct your Canary: This aeroplane is relatively easy to build thanks to its boxy fuselage, straight wings and the absence of struts; the most difficult part being the cowl. For this I decided to go the whole way by making male plug, a female mould in two parts and finally the cowl itself in glassfibre-epoxy. For a one-off however, the use of the 'lost foam' mould method is advisable.
One important note to keep in mind: keep the front end light! Due to its long nose and short tail getting the CG right can be a problem, as I found out.
Fuselage: Due to the depth of the fuselage, several sheets of 3mm balsa have to be glued together. This can be done the following way. Place two sheets edge to edge. Put adhesive tape over the joint on one side, fold open, apply PVA glue, close fold again and remove the glue oozing out of the joint. After setting, the tape can be removed.
Next cut the 3mm balsa and 1mm plywood fuselage sides to size. 0.8mm ply can be used if 1mm is not available..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz11812) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_W-4_Hot_Canary
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
