Canard RM-12 (oz15215)
About this Plan
Canard RM-12. Radio control sport model, for electric power with brushless motor and 4S lipo. Canard pusher layout. Wingspan 1m. Uses foam construction.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Preamble by Dr. Dinesh Kittur: Ever since Wright brothers flew their first canard, both avid plane designers and Aero modelers have been eluded from Canards because of their difficult construction and aerodynamics. Mr Avinash Panchal has designed this simple canard specially for those interested in constructing something special. I am sure this will be the center of attraction at any aero model show, both for its simplicity and smooth flight.
Construction: The model is constructed using Biofoam (Depron) sheets (3mm, 5mm), 2mm ply and Coroplast sheet 3mm (PVC Corrugated sheet).
Wing: The wing is made mainly using Biofoam (3mm) sheet. The spar is made using Biofoam 8mm backed with 2mm ply for structural strength. The construction details with its MOC is as shown in Fig-1.
From the sketch, unfolded breadth of the wing profile is derived and the blank sheet required for making wing is cut. Fig-1 Note the aileron section on the top surface is made with Coroplast sheet (with flutes aligning aileron hinge line). Thus the wing blank is as shown in Fig-2. The foam sheet is laminated using transparent cellophane tape from exterior surface before bending.
A scar is made on the folding C/L from interior side. The foam sheet is pressed using rolling pin from interior area, so that the wing gets smooth surface after folding as seen in Fig-3. The spar is pasted on the 'Spar C/L'. Glue is applied on the top surface of spar and the foam is folded on the 'Fold C/L'. The wing takes shape as per Fig-3..."

Very good, Mr. Panchal, and the build notes are very clear and friendly too.As for canards, I don't recall seeing many birds with a screaming propeller on their beaks.
Mother Nature must have not approved of that configuration for a reason :)

A nice flying canard. I flew it. Well done Avinash and Dr. Kittur. Congratulations.

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.
