About this Plan

Mig 15. Ducted fan IC design model jet fighter by H Paxton Jr, for .049 power. MAN September 1955.

Quote: "Practically a squadron of these little MIGs was built before the author turned loose this splendid flying, ducted fan .049 job. The MIG 15, by WH Paxton Jr.

This model of a Russian MIG-15 (captured by America at the end of the Korean War) is powered by a standard Wasp .049 engine driving a metal fan giving sufficient thrust to produce a nice rate of climb. It will provide the most realistic flights you've ever seen.

Construction is amazingly simple as a result of several years' study and building of nine versions of this airplane, incorporating improvements and simplifications as developed. For instance, the mid-body bulkheads can all be cut by jig saw at the same time and planking the double-contoured fuselage is held to a minimum by using sheet balsa covering on the mid-body.

Step-by-step construction details follow: Drill holes in tin strip to match mounting holes in Wasp engine fuel tank and solder on 3-48 nuts. Cut out Minus-2, Minus-3 and Minus-4 mounts from 1/8 basswood plywood. File or sand front edges on Minus-3 and Minus-4, as noted on drawing. Cement Minus-2, Minus-3 and Minus-4 mounts together after locat-ing plate nuts to holes in Minus-2 mount. Use Ambroid or other fuelproof cement and tie with thread as noted.

Add 1/16 square strips and cover aft portion of cone with Art paper. Form forward cone of Art Paper and cement in place. Give complete assembly one coat of sealer and three coats of hot fuelproof dope.

Bulkhead rings are next cut out of 1/16 or 1/8 balsa or basswood ply-wood, as specified on the drawing. String-ers are then cut from 1/8 balsa sheet or 1/8 x 1/4 balsa. The basic mid-body portion is then assembled by keying-in parts, as noted in the isometric view on the drawing.

Drill holes in hatch members for latch pins and locating side pins and then cut through Minus-26 at front and rear of hatch, which can then be removed. Mid-body is then lined with 1/64 balsa..."

    ScaleType: This (oz2452) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-15
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
