About this Plan

Helios 3. Radio control glider model. Wingspan 2200 mm.

Quote (translated from the catalog page, see pic 004): "Would you like to build a glider that is not too small, but still fits in a small car? With the Helios 3 you have a model whose wingspan of 2.20 meters promises good thermal flight.

Constructed in the familiar wood construction method, the fuselage is made of plywood and balsa with strongly rounded corners.

The wing is now split and attached to the fuselage with steel wire tongues.

The solid balsa vertical stabilizer is firmly glued to the fuselage, while the horizontal tailplane is attached to the fuselage with screws to make it suitcase-friendly.

You take the Helios 3 to the flying field without a roof rack. Although the flight appearance is not as majestic as that of a five-meter glider, the model will inspire you with its flight performance.

The quick-build kit contains the construction plan in 1:1 scale, detailed building instructions with parts list, all the wooden parts required for construction in largely prefabricated finished. The canopy, decorations and accessories for the rudder linkage."

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Update 3/2/2025: Added (google translated) instructions in English, thanks to Torsten.

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.
