About this Plan
Hi-Jet. Free flight sport model for Jetex power with Atom 35 motor. Wingspan 14 in.
Quote: "A simple all sheet jet model that really does fly 'Hi' on its Jetex 35 motor. Hi-Jet, by WI Barrett.
HI-JET is a 14 in wingspan model designed for use with the Jetex Atom 35 motor. Construction is simple, and the complete model can be made from one sheet of 1/16 balsa, 3 in wide by 36 in long. It is essential to use the lightest grade available - ask your local model shop to select a lightweight sheet for you.
Start by tracing the outlines of all the various pieces on the plan and transferring these to the sheet of balsa. Cut out the pieces accurately with a razor blade or modelling knife.
Pick out the upper rear fuselage decking, F7, and cement to its underside the stiffener FS. Add the two formers F4 and F6, ensuring that F4 is correctly positioned vertically with reference to the fuselage side. When the assembly is dry, it can be cemented to one of the fuselage side pieces, and the remaining formers (F1, F2, F3 and F8) added. Before the formers are completely set, cement on the other fuselage side and hold the assembly together with rubber bands. See that the fuselage is equally curved along both sides. Put the fuselage on one side to dry.
Now take the wing and carefully sand it to the section shown on the plan. This section is basically a rounded leading edge, with the top surface of the wing tapering down towards the trailing edge. When the wing has been finally sanded smooth, cut and separate the two halves. Apply cement to both cut edges, rub into the grain and allow to dry. Then apply more cement, and bring the two halves together as shown on the plan..."

User comments
Hi all, glad to see the Hi-Jet plan on Outerzone. I have built two, both of which flew very well. The first one was lost on it's fourth flight. Both models were powered by Rapier L2 motors which are really a bit too powerful (it's designed for the Jetex 35) and the first flights were a bit lively. I have included a couple of photos from the archives of the lost model [main pic, 007].Dick Edwards - 19/01/2025

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.
