Freedom (oz15546)

About this Plan

Freedom. Radio control slope soarer model. Wingspan 74 in.

Note the AR-1 (oz6339) was first published in RCM, Oct 1982. This here is the AR-1 kitted later as the 'Freedom' by Craft Air.

There are some minor differences between the two plans. For more detail on this (including step by step build pics) see Adventrider's excellent RGroups build thread at https://www.rcgroups.com/forums...

Quote: "The build sequence of this glider is a little different that most. As always read through the instructions and get a general idea of the sequence prior to starting. Instructions have you start with the fin assembly.

The AR-1 became the Freedom when Craft-Air kitted the design and there are some differences depending on which set of plans you have. I will try to capture the differences, but what is relevant is that Craft-Air requires more parts made from smaller pieces and fixes some minor errors on the AR-1 plans while creating others.

I start with 2 copies of plans, one is sacrificial to use as templates.

Start with the fin core pieces. AR-1 uses a single piece of 1/4 x 4 inch wide stock. Freedom breaks this down into smaller pieces of 2 in wide stuff, which I prefer because it splits up the grain direction and makes for a stronger assembly..."

Corrections?

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)? That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.
