Hi Steve, Here is a photo of my finished CB 36 [see more pics 004] for your Outerzone site. Regards,PaulBizard - 09/07/2014
Hello! I am just watching one of your French plans: CB36, a glider. Material are specified, for example Balsa 15/10. I don't understand that requirement. Do you have an explanation? Thank you in advance!

Hi Karl, the thickness of balsa sheets or ply was expressed, in France, in tenth of millimeters. 15/10 is 1.5 mm (approx. 1/16 in). Standards were 10/10, 15/10, 20/10 for balsa. On some plans (peanuts or duration indoors) you could find 5/10, 8/10, or 12/10... Aaah, a long time ago...

The French, for some reason, label all sheet material as a fraction. 15/10 simply means 15 divided by 10, so 1.5 mm. 20/10 would be 2mm and so on.
MHodgson - 26/12/2018
15/10 is metric system; 10 is 1 mm and 15 corresponds to 1.5 mm. It means 1.5 mm thick (20/10 for 2 mm, 30/10 for 3 mm and so one); 10 is a reference for 1 mm. It is as logical as feet and inches (and others....) for me!

Hi Paul, Quite a model you built there, hats off! Would you mind explaining what's that little gizmo on the left front, is it an auto-balancer? Cheers

Hi Marcus, it is a device that only the old aeromodellers recognize... a mechanical timer.
In the old days, for free flight models, the only solution to recover the model was to program the flight time with this device that activates the elevator into the deep stall position when the time expires.
Cheers

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.
