Son of Trike (oz2101)
About this Plan
Son of Trike. Free flight 31in span interesting design rubber powered sport, from Aeromodeller September 1946.
Quote: "THE elegant offspring of the ever-popular Trike (oz9689) always a best seller in the Aeromodeller Plans Service, this second version is sure to achieve an even greater appeal. Careful redesign of certain components has given all the renowned flying qualities of the old model, plus greatly enhanced appearance and strength. If you built a Trike Mk I, you will be unable to resist Mk. II's improved qualities, though, indeed, no one will find an acquaintance with the Trike's pedigree necessary for appreciation of this novel and efficient machine.
Fuselage. Start by pinning down the longerons and then cementing in the spacers, beginning with the one that fits at the cabin end of the top nose longeron. Cement in 3/32 in sheet balsa surrounding cabin window. Build another side identical to this one, separating the two carefully afterwards with a razor blade. The top and lower longerons should now be bevelled at the aft end and the two side frames joined at the correct angle, the sternpost being added when dry.
Cut to length and cement in place the top and bottom spacers occurring: top, at front of cabin, and bottom, below this respectively. Now add all spacers from cabin to tail. Make top and bottom nose spacers and nose formers, fix in place and check that the framework is square. Shape formers 1, 2 and 3 and their corresponding bottom spacers and cement well in position.
The side and lower formers below former 1 may be made by cementing lengths of 3/32 in square on to the fuselage spacers and sanding them to an elliptical contour. Cover the nose with 1,32 in. sheet and trim off all surplus balsa at front former so that the latter can be sanded flat..."

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.
