Pappy (oz3480)
About this Plan
Pappy. A 31inspan V-tailed FF power sports model, for up to .5cc motors. From Model Aircraft, January 1962.
Quote: "FULL SIZE PLANS to build this 31 inch wingspan free-flight power model for up to .5 cc motors. Pappy, by Colin Read.
DESIGNED as a sports weather model Poppy uses the very popular Cox .020 glow motor although a 03 cc diesel, a Cox Pee Wee or similar engines would be equally suitable. To be a little different from the general design trend, a 'V' dihedral tail-plane was incorporated and the open cockpit gives a semi-scale appearance.
Construction is commenced by cutting the fuselage sides from 1/16 in sheet balsa (remember to trace the extension, do not cut the plan!) together with formers F4 and F8. Formers F2 and F9 are cut from 1/8 sheet. Bend the under-carriage wire to shape and bind it securely to former F2, cementing securely. Cement side piece S1 to the fuselage sides (inside only) F2 and addformers F2 and F6. When dry cement together the fuselage sides at the rear and add the remaining formers F7 and F9.
Former F1, which should be of a good grade of 1/8 in plywood, is marked off for the engine mounting holes and the bolt heads are soldered to a small piece of tinplate before locating, this being well cemented to the rear of the former. This assembly is now cemented in [place and left to dry... "

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.
