About this Plan

Bi Mini. Radio control model. A half sized version of the KK Super 60 at 32in span, with biplane wings. For 2 function radio and .5 - .8 cc engines.

Quote: "The ubiquitous Keil Kraft Super Sixty (oz552) has been the subject of many a mod and redesign over the years. None so pretty as this cheeky two-winger from the board of RCME editor David Boddington.

Decide, before you start building, what type of radio you are fitting and where it is to be installed. Don't use a larger nicad than a 225 mAh pack - a 150 mAh should be more than adequate for two function radio. Check the engine bearer spacing for the engine to be fitted, you can dispense with the bearers if a radial mounted engine is used, but retain the downthrust and side-thrust.

Fuselage side panels are built one above the other to ensure accuracy. Cyano adhesives can be used, although I prefer PVA white glues as this retains a certain flexibility when dry and helps to prevent joint separation in stress conditions. Joinn the fuselage sides with the front, full-width formers in position, slide the pre-drilled engine beares in position and check the engine mounting. Make sure that the fuselage remains true and square when the rear ends are brought together and the crosspieces added.

What type of fuel tank is fitted will depend on the engine used. As the Bi-Mini is not intended for advanced aerobatics, a free flight type tank will suffice..."

User comments

Hello, Many thanks for your wonderful website. I just love it. I just saw that one of the plans is missing biplane tag.

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.
