About this Plan

IAR 80/81. Free flight scale model for rubber power.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "Hi Steve and Mary, I want to submit my plan of the IAR 80/81 in 27 inch rubber powered model. This is the proposed engine swap of the IAR 81c Damler-Benz DB 605 engine and the proposed Jumo 213 inline engines. This was late in the war and Germany was struggling to produce enough engines for themselves so they weren't selling engines to other countries.

From Wikipedia: In the spring of 1941, IAR 80 no. 13 was fitted with a Daimler-Benz DB 601Aa engine borrowed from a Bf 109E. A flight test was carried out on 21 April 1941, but due to the strong vibrations, the pilot barely managed to bring it to the ground. Development was abandoned after this test flight, and was never flown again. Other tests were carried out with a 1,475 PS (1,085 kW; 1,455 hp) Daimler-Benz DB 605A fitted to IAR 81C no. 326 in the summer of 1943. According to the test reports, the aircraft's performance was greatly improved, however due to difficulties in producing the engine and the Germans not having engines for sale, the project did not materialize.

I basically drew the IAR 81c no. 326 with the DB 605a engine but added the Jumo 213 engine nose below the no. 326 for those who would like to model the Jumo engine look.
This has not been built or test flown but it's on my "To Do" list!

Thank you for considering this plan.

    ScaleType: This (oz15239) 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/IAR_80
    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.

Another masterfully done plan from Tom Akery's mouse!
There's a lot more where this came from. Go to https://freeflightarchive.com/index.php/plans-gallery and look "sky9pilot" up about 2/3 of the way from the top. I'm not giving the straight address because there is so much beauty to look up on the way :)
Also, these people take the ethical way. Instead of pilfering here and there, where appropriate they provide the search path for Outerzone or HipPocket or wherever the plans are. Can't be more serious than that!

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.
