About this Plan

Firebird 40. Radio control sport pattern plane. For 30 to 50 engines. Wingspan 56 in, wing area 532 sq in.

Quote: "Craft Air introduces the Firebird. The sports airplane you have been waiting for! This exceptional airplane is made from all-machine cut and sanded parts. The kit contains all necessary wood, canopy, and all hardware.
The Firebird is an outstanding low wing, highly maneopuverable sport airplane. It is capable of flying the entire AMA Pattern!"

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Note because this plan was scanned at 36 in wide, some text is missing where the edges are cropped. If anyone can fill in the missing text, we'll type it up and add that as a supplement file.

Thanks to RFJ for finding the colour full-page ad for the Firebird, in MAN September 1984.

User comments

If there is anyone out there that has this kit, unbuilt, and could trace the ribs and submit them to Oz, it would be peachy.

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.
