Endeavour (oz2260)

About this Plan

Endeavour. Free flight sport biplane model for .5 - .9cc motors. Design includes LE slats and flaps. From October 1960 Aeromodeller.

Quote: "PREFERRING TO HEAR appreciative murmurs, rather than the usual 'Huh! look at this horrible thing Dad', an attempt has been made to contrive a practical model of scale appearance, with Endeavour. But only after numerous pages of 'Design for Aeromodellers' were worn out and many moons had come and gone, did the first reverberations of the power plant burst upon the neighbourhood, heralding a subsequent daily disturbance.

Endeavour has suffered many mods. during develop-ment, but the prototype is performing well in its present form with an inverted Mills .75 and repairs have not been called for frequently, despite its age of 8 years (almost senile).

Construction is quite normal; but first, do commence hostilities with a really sharp blade; plywood incision wears down the keenest of scalpels, so cut and carve all balsa parts firts, then ruin the blade on the ply.

The fuselage is started at the rear, cementing in rear fin tube while spacing sides at the correct taper by cementing in place F1 and F2..."
