Saturn (oz16112)

About this Plan

Saturn. Radio control sport aerobatic model. Wingspan 1600 mm, for .60 engine.

Quote (google-translated): "General Description: Three years passed from the construction of the prototype to the production model. Five models were built, flown, and modified until the final production model was named 'Saturn.'

The result is a thoroughbred, fully aerobatic RC-1 competition model whose sophisticated flight characteristics will soon delight you.

Thanks to the low flying weight and high performance of the Enya 60 III B RC G8, the model has enormous power reserves, so that with appropriate training, the entire RC-1 program can be completed without difficulty.

The construction is conventional, stable, and not too complicated, so that even those with less mechanical skills can fly this model without major difficulties. All necessary parts are prefabricated.

It is up to you whether you want to build the model with a fixed or retractable gear. The fixed landing gear is shown in the blueprint. The kit for the Saturn with retractable landing gear (Order No.3180) includes a detailed plan, a materials list, and detailed assembly instructions [see supplement files].

General instructions for the construction process:

Please read the entire assembly instructions carefully before beginning construction. Before you begin work, consult the parts and materials list for a detailed overview of the type and purpose of the various components and the sequence of events.

The blueprint included with the assembly kit is drawn to a scale of 1:1 and is used as a construction plan for the fuselage, wings, and tail assembly. The numbering of the plans corresponds to the assembly sequence.

The blueprints for the fuselage, vertical and horizontal tail assembly, as well as the wings, with side and front views and cross-sections, should be used for assembly. To protect the plans from damage by glue, a thin, transparent polyethylene film overlay must be used. If this is not available as a larger section, cut-up polyethylene packaging bags will suffice. The materials list is presented as a table. It indicates which parts list number the boards included in the kit are for. Strips, pre-cut pieces, etc can be used.."

Quote: "Hello Mary, hello Steve, luckily back now, we're able to fill a gap at the Robbe lineup within outerzone: attached is the plan of the 'Saturn', a RC-model for sport and pattern flying. This typical model of its era has been designed for 10ccm engines.
Here I will thank Markus for his work to make this scan possible, and also many thanks to Dominik, who made the scans of building instructions and retract landing gear.
kind regards,
Harald
