Quote: "Hello Outerzone. Here is my design the Acrox, an aerobatic model in a F3A layout. Published in MFI (modellflug international) 05/2017.

I was looking for an aerobatic model, it has to be as small to put it compleet in my car and it must be simple and fast to build. Must be able to take-off from grass or by hand launch, and the AXI 2820/12 has to be the engine. Prop 13x6,5“ Akku 3s2200 to 3300 Ah.

The Fuselage is build from light ply in the front side, top, bottom and frames. All frames in the area of the wings are the same with. The rear fuselage is build from pinestruts and the sheeting of the whole nacelle is 2mm balsa. The turtledeck would build at last. The wing and also the elevator are build from lightply ribs, pine spars and the sheeting is 1,5mm Balsa, also possible is 3mm Depron. Dihedral is upside straight.

User comments

Really struggling to make this model as there is no instruction manual and no references on the plan itself ?

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.
