About this Plan
Filius. Radio control sailplane model. Uses Jedelsky-style wing. Wingspan 1850 mm. For 2 function RC.
Quote (google-translated): "Multiplex Filius. No.4055. Beginner RC glider. Conventional construction.
Not every beginning is necessarily difficult. The absolute bestseller among the beginner RC gliders offered on the market. Compared to most of its competitors, the 'Filius' has the advantage of being a model truly suited to the radio-controlled beginner. An assembly free from unnecessary complications, extremely advanced prefabrication and flight behavior suitable for beginners have contributed to making the 'Filius' what it is today: one of the most lenient RC models for beginners. Many of today's experienced pilots made their debut with the 'Filius'.
Flight behavior is absolutely not critical. The 'Fillus' reacts frankly and quickly to elevator and direction commands, which greatly facilitates learning to fly a redult model. Its performance allows appreciable durations from the usual winching altitude. The 'Filius' reacts quickly to lifts, which will allow the beginner to look for his first 'bubbles', find them and exploit them.
If desired, a small braking flap can be incorporated into the upper part of the fuselage, which allows the beginner a more correct landing approach and a landing on a precise point. The articulation of this component is a good preparation exercise for future flights with larger gliders. The installation is shown on the plan and can be carried out at little cost and in a short time.
Cut and/or stamped wooden parts, a profusely illustrated and very detailed assembly manual ensure rapid and successful construction. As the glider is made of 'all-wood', there is no covering work. The box does, however, contain a sheet of self-adhesive patterns for decoration.
The 'Filius', a robust glider that's easy to fly!"

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.
