Hunter (oz12162)
About this Plan
Hunter. Radio control sport aerobatic model, for 5.5 - 7.5 cc engines.
Quote: "Brand: Olympic. Name: Hunter. Semi-scale model aircraft for aerobatics.
Semi-scale reproduction of the well-known English jet fighter 'Hawker Hunter', it was conceived and produced for the RC flight enthusiast who, having acquired the necessary experience with a training model aircraft, wants to have a vehicle capable of correctly performing all the at competitive level, without however incurring the high costs of the size and regulation rule acrobatic model. The particular techniques adopted in the design phase make it a model with an extremely clean flight and very low landing speed.
Easy and pleasant construction
The structure of the Hunter is the classic completely in balsa wood with plywood reinforcements. Cassette fuselage, ribbed wing with torsion-resistant front body, rudders in balsa-covered strips on both sides. During the design phase, unnecessary complications were carefully avoided, which lengthen and make assembly difficult without bringing real benefits, to the benefit of the fun and the reduction of construction times, which are estimated at around 25-30 hours of pleasant pastime. According to the ability and availability of equipment, the model maker will be able to finish the structure with the classic method with Modelspan paper and paper tensioner, followed by a painting, or with a coating in Oracover shrinkable plastic material. The radio control system is easily accessible through the large compartment under the wing, which can be dismantled for transport. The front landing gear is swiveling and, as an interesting option, the model can be converted into a seaplane with the purchase of a special float kit.
Radio control
In its essentiality, the Hunter is of little pretension from the point of view of the radio control. The minimum requirements call for a 4-channel transmitter, a 4-channel receiver and 4 standard servos. However, nothing prevents you from installing more sophisticated radio controls.
Motor Vehicles
The model has been designed to fly correctly with a 2-stroke petrol engine with a displacement of between 5.5 and 6.5 cubic centimeters, with preference for the larger displacement only when used as a seaplane, or electric power propulsion around 500 watts. It is not recommended to install excessive powers in order not to run into control problems. In the case of installation of the electric propulsion, the model maker will have to take care of the necessary modifications to the structure.

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

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.
