Tiger Panzer (oz5614)
About this Plan
Tiger Panzer. High performance FAI aerobatic model plane for .60 power. Uses a sheeted foam wing.
Quote: "The 'Tiger Panzer' is a highly acrobatic model designed primarily for FA1 pattern flying. I have no doubt that the design is suitable for the AMA Pattern, as the model is quite capable of performing flick maneuvres. However, this does not distract from its docile characteristics.
The fuselage shape is derived from the well-known Northrop F5 strike reconnaissance fighter. Being semi-scale, therefore, the model looks very attractive whilst flying, and can be painted in a variety of military colours.
The model itself is an updated version of my 'UDl Panzer,' which I flew at the 6th World Championships in 1967. The prototype Tiger Panzer first flew in 1969 and was fitted with retracts. This necessitated positioning the nosegear retract to one side of the fuselage so that an oblong 8 oz fuel bottle could be placed along-side. All subsequent models have been fitted with fixed undercarriage.
The Tiger Panzer, in my opinion, can be flown by both novice and expert alike, and is a joy to fly. The construction is relatively simple and should present no problems. l sincerely hope you decide to build the Tiger Panzer.
Construction. Start by building the wing. After cutting out the foam cores glue the rear spar in place. Next, epoxy glue the undercarriage mounts in position. The wing is now ready for sheeting. Cover the cores with one piece of 1/16 in prepared balsa sheeting. Apply contact adhesive to both sheeting and foam cores with a sponge to prevent excess glue weight. Use Titebond glue on areas where wood meets wood..."

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.
