RFB 600 Fantrainer (oz13719)
About this Plan
RFB 600 Fantrainer. Radio control sport-scale model. Wingspan 69 in, for (ducted) pusher prop with 45-50 two-stroke engine.
Quote: "Assembly instructions: Building accurately is necessary to insure correct flight characteristics. Read the instructions carefully before you begin and seek assistance if needed. All components must be aligned carefully and proper adhesive used where specified. For best results ample building area is necessary to lay out the full plan sheet on a flat building surface. Cover plans with waxed paper or saran wrap. After reviewing the plans and complete instructions, you are ready to begin.
1. Assemble the main frame directly over the plans using 3/8 square sticks provided. Tight fitting joints are necessary. Follow the plans exactly. When complete, sand glue joints flat with surrounding surfaces.
2. Sheet main frame with 3/32 balsa. Remove frame from building board & air install push-rods. (Ni-rods or cable/housing may be used).
3. Sheet remaining side with 3/32 balsa. Carefully sand all glue joints smooth.
4. Repeat the above steps to complete the two side frames.
5. Assemble the elevator & stabilizer from 3/16 x 3/8 balsa sticks. Use the same assembly procedures as in the main frame construction. Sheet both sides of the stabilizer and elevator with 3/32 balsa. Sand all surfaces & edges carefully. Bevel leading edge of elevator & round remaining edges of both surfaces.
6. Using 3/32 balsa sheet, assemble the rudder over the plans. Install the rudder ribs (R-1,2,3,4,& 5). Use a 3/8 square balsa stick as the leading edge. Slightly sand the top surface of the 3/8 square to match the slope of the ribs. Use scrap to fill in where the rudder horn is to be installed. Sheet remaining surface and bevel leading edge for hinge movement.
7. Begin wing construction by removing all ribs from die-cut sheets. Make two sets of ribs; one w-1 through W-12 in each set. W-1 and W-2 are die cut ply; all others are balsa. Sand edges if necessary.
Pin a 3/8 x 3/16 hardwood spar on the plan at the marked location. Use a 1/4 x 3/32 cap strip as a spacer in front of the trailing edge at the tail of the rib. Do not glue. This creates clearance for the cap strips (caps will be installed later)... "

Best regards,"

ScaleType: This (oz13719) 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/RFB_Fantrainer
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.

Wow, thought I’d never see this one again! A friend of mine had one framed up and unfinished hanging in his tool room. Claimed he bought it in Germany while in the army, would not sell it. Really cool find! Thanks Zipman for getting it and posting it!Jo-joe - 27/03/2022

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.
