About this Plan

Hawker Fury. Free flight rubber scale model. Wingspan is 19-1/4 in.

Quote: "How To Construct The Hawker Fury.

THE Hawker Fury is a well-known British single seater intercepter fighter, powered with a Rolls-Royce Kestrel Engine. The latest model, fitted with wheel spats, is known as the Super-Fury.

In adapting this design to a flying model, dimensions have been kept as near as possible to the full size machine, but owing to the fact that no authentic scale drawings are available for the Hawker Fury, a few points may vary slightly.

In this issue of Aircraft we will deal with the wings, wing and strut fittings, tail, fin, and rudder and fuselage and remaining parts will be given in next month's issue.

The wings which are staggered, are of unequal chord and span, and for stability in the model, the top wing is constructed with a dihedral of 4 inch. The model builder wishing to keep a true scale appearance, should make the top wing without dihedral.

A plan of the top wing is given in Fig. 2. Draw a full size plan of the wing and pin it down on a flat board. From 1/16 inch balsa cut two each of the spars for the wing halves and shorter spars for the centre section. As the di-hedral starts from the first rib from the centre on either side, it is necessary to have all spars in three pieces, and the trailing and main spars are r butted and pinned in position.

The ribs for the top wing, Fig 5a, are cut from 1/16 inch sheet balsa. 13 ribs are required, and the end rib of each half is cut off short to fit the curve of the wing tip, Figs. 2c and 4b, and sandpapered to about inch in depth.

The ribs, except the first from the centre on either side, are then cemented in position, and the leading edge is next fitted and cemented in position. The wing tip of 1/32 x 1/16 bamboo is then spliced and cemented to the leading and trailing spars and butted and cemented to the mainspar.

When dry, the centre section is left pinned to the board, but the two outer halves are unpinned, and the tips blocked up a inch off the board. The junctions of the leading, trailing and main spars are then cemented, and a strip 1/32 plywood is cemented to the two main spar joins. The ribs at these paints are then fitted and cemented in position, Fig. 4a..."

    ScaleType: This (oz3699) 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/Hawker_Fury
    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.
