Inspiration (oz1715)

About this Plan

Inspiration. Control line stunt biplane model. Model Aircraft, August 1949.

Quote: "Inspiration was designed with a view to building a biplane that would not only be easy to build and good to look at. but would also do what it was originally intended to do, ie, stunt.

With the ED Comp Special powering this machine it gives a very good performance. Ii has done wingovers, consecutive loops, rights, bunts and inverted flight. All these stunts, by the way, have been carried out on 45 ft steel line which Inspirtion keeps tight at 60 deg. angles and in a fairly stiff breeze. The original Inspiration used the Comp. Special but it is adaptable to the ED Mk III, Allbon, Majesco, etc.

Fuselage. Start by cutting out the two formers 1/8in ply, and making the motor bearers. Put former 2 at the extreme back end of the bearers then put the tank in position and thread on former 1. Drill a hole in former 1 to allow the feed pipe to come through. Use plenty of cement and whilst this is drying, cut out the bottom and sides of the fuselage, pin the bottom clown to your building board and cement the sides in place.

Next, form the undercart and secure to former 1 with brass clip, or 'J' bolts. The motor bearer unit and the basic fuselage are now ready to fix together, so pre-cement the inside of the fuselage where the formers will go and cement the two units together..."
