About this Plan

Sunny. Radio control glider model. Wingspan 1390 mm.

Quote (google-translated): "Sunny. Hand-Launch Glider by H Hauns.

Although the model-making industry has finally responded to the new trend by releasing several decent hand-launch glider kits, modelers are still frequently drawn to creating their own designs or building models from plans.

The design I am presenting here is the result of years of model-building experience and participation in various HLG competitions. It is designed so that any modeler with some experience can build it. Naturally, ultra-lightweight construction is a prerequisite; the maximum weight should be under 320 grams.

Sunny is designed for light to moderate winds. It easily handles high-start launches using rubber cord, as well as vigorous hand-launch throws.

Here are some design features:

- Wing construction featuring a carbon-fiber tube spar.

- Trailing edge coated with fiberglass (GRP) on the inner side, resulting in an exceptionally light, straight and high-strength trailing edge.

- Double-bonded leading edge; proven airfoil similar to the 'Supra Hit' from the FMT specialist book 'RC-Wurfsegler' (RC Hand-Launch Gliders, FB 2047).

- Box-style fuselage made of 1.5 mm balsa; coated with fiberglass (GRP) on the inside (extending behind the wing) and entirely on the outside for high strength.

- Hatch in the forward fuselage section for RC installation.

- Controlled via V-tail..."

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.
