About this Plan

Aeroflyte Albatross. Radio control sailplane. 2.5m glider from the 70s-80s. Kit no 245.

Update 11/03/2015: Added a sheet showing rib templates, thanks to SteveBailey.

Quote: "Hi Steve, I downloaded the Albatross plans, reading your note that the ribs were missing and inviting someone to draw them. As I am interested in building this plane, I am happy to submit what I have drawn."

Supplementary file notes

Where is sheet 1? Where are the wing ribs?

Um... not here. Feel free to draw some up. Have set this listing as 'formers incomplete' now.

A question - this is going to be one of my first builds... can someone help me with printing this so i can measure the pieces and stuff? What size do i have to print it?

For help on how to check the paper size of a PDF, see https://outerzone.co.uk/knowledgebase/entry.asp?ID=105 and for help on how to print out, see https://outerzone.co.uk/faq.asp#printoutplan

Hi Steve, may I remind that Adobe Reader also comes with a 'tape rule' that I find useful to check on wingspans. If one wants a printout for a different wingspan, say 24in instead of the 35.64in the plan really comes in, calculating a zoom up or down rate is not really rocket science. It can be found at Tools, and then Measure. Et voilá!

Thanks, yes I've just added that to the KB articles as https://outerzone.co.uk/knowledgebase/entry.asp?ID=106 that's good for checking the scaling of the plan.

Hi there, After the kit travelling around the world several times as an intended pastime We have finally settled in remote Western Australia and have time to spare to catch up on good intentions and this model comes first cab off the rank.
I seem to have encountered a potential trap for old hands in that the suggested RC gear appears to be my old school analogue but no one seems to be able to supply it now that we are in the digital age. Could you propose suitable components that will fit in the confined space. Yours hopefully,

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.
