Reb (oz5129)
About this Plan
Reb. Radio control contest model. This model, flown by Harry Brooks was part of the Great Britain team in the World Radio Control Championships for 1962 held in England, and was placed equal 1st in the contest.
Quote: "Reb has been under development for over 1-1/2 years. It started life as REBEL with a two-wheel U/C and a square section fuselage. The design (as is usual with this type of model) has been influenced by all the well-known craft that have gone before. What I considered to be the best features from all these I have used. The points controlling the design from the word go have been: (1) It had to be easy to build. (2) It had to be 'groovy' when flying without any vices. (3) It had to carry all its radio equipment complete with servos, batteries and trim mechanism in the easiest possible manner,. bearing in mind that modern equipment will allow for model long life, and all units must be accessable. (4) Easy to transport, hence the reason for the conventional type aileron. (5) Allowance has also been made to encourage all the practice flying necessary for the pilot to obtain real contest experience. For instance, it has an extremely easy method of motor attachment which allows for a change of motor in 5 to 10 minutes. Reinforcement around the landing gear to combat continual take off and landings (even poor ones). Servo removal can be accomplished also in a matter of minutes. (6) Use of ready-made commercial fittings that are readily available to the R/C modeler..."

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.
