Nurk (oz3097)

About this Plan

The Nurk. 21in span 1/2A class team racer C/L model. Oliver 1.5cc power.

Quote: "We in the Sidcup Club have been interested in 1/2A team racing since the idea was born, and The Nurk is the development of several models. The model is capable of speeds of over 75mph and it once held the club 1.5 cc speed record at 76.8mph. It has won the Sidcup 1/2A Team Race Trophy in the record time of 4 min 45 sec for five miles, successes include firsts at Wanstead and London Area rallies.
The motor used is the Oliver 1.5cc which I find is the best 1/2A motor currently available, and although the original model is very heavy, it will do over sixty laps with the recommended prop. The model should be built to weigh under 10 oz.
Commence building by letting the bearers into the 1-3/4 x 11 in block, making sure that the width between
the bearers is less than is needed to clear the motor..."
