Jackdaw (oz4367)
About this Plan
Frog Jackdaw. Radio control trainer. For 2.5 - 3.5 cc diesels, or 19 - 35 glow motors. Frog cat no. 684 KP.
Quote: "This new design from the Frog stable has already proved to be a powerful contender in Contest circles. The design characteristics are such that the aircraft is very smooth in flight and easy to handle. However the Jackdaw can be made highly aerobatic even in its rudder only form by increasing the movement of the rudder..."

The original prototype Jackdaw shown in the photo [more pics 005] was quite different to the subsequent kitted version in particular it had no cabin and the tailplane was a different shape. The picture is from a piece by Eric Walpole at www.houseoffrog.co.uk entitled "Memories of Working at FROG". In it he explains how the changes to the design were inspired by a desire to give it more "eye appeal" for kitting.

Hi, Steve and Mary, Greetings from Scotland. I thought I would send you in a photo of my recently completed Frog Jackdaw [pics 007-009]. This is a great plane and handles rough weather very well. It is powered by a PAW 19 RC. (Progressive Aero works). This company still produces diesels ranging from 0.5to .60. My engine is brand-new and has had about five runs. The projector is a similar age to the super 60, but was never a successful. Once you get the hang of starting a diesel, it is a very easy engine, and you only need a can of fuel to go flying!… Oh, and the transmitter of course! Your plans Emporium is excellent. Keep up the good work. Best regards,

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.
