Fun 51 (oz15042)
About this Plan
Fun 51 (Fun P-51). Radio control profile sport model. Wingspan 44 in, wing area 627 sq in, for .35 to .51 engines.
Discontinued kit from Tower Hobbies.
Quote: "Congratulations! If you have been looking for a way to put the FUN back into your Sunday flying, you have just found it. The FUN 51 is a nimble little profile hot-dogger that assembles in only a few hours and is easy on the budget. It does not require any special building or flying skill - just a few hand tools and a little taildragger time.
With its oversized control surfaces it turns, loops and rolls in the blink of an eye. But the thick, high lift airfoil and light wing loading allow the plane to slow way down for gentle spot landings. If equipped with an engine like the Tower .40 it's possible to be airborne in a matter of feet, zip through three rolls, loop on its own axis, and then go into the 'hover' mode while waiting for your buddies to get off the ground. What more can we say? The Fun 51 maximizes fun for minimal cost and time!"
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Hello, friends. I'm using your plans to build my models. I would like to send plans for models that are not on your website, FUN P-51 Tower Hobbies and Easy-Sport 40 Great Planes. These models were built by me at different times and the plans of these models were scanned on a large tape scanner. There are distortions. Maybe they will be useful to you. With respect and gratitude, Mikhail."

ScaleType: This (oz15042) 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/North_American_P-51_Mustang
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.

User comments
Hello Outerzone gang, Thank you so much for posting the plans to Tower Hobbies Fun 51. I built one when the kits first came out [pic 003] but lost it due to a battery failure. I modified mine a little and added wing tips and reshaped the stabilizer to resemble the real P-51. Thanks to your fine website, I'll now have a chance to build another. Thank you,Dan Owen - 11/01/2024
Hello, friends. Here's an addition to Fun 51 Tower Hobbies, some photos of my Mustang [pics 005-008]. August 2010. With respect and gratitude,

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.
