Fun Zone (oz5688)
About this Plan
Fun Zone. Radio control sport model.
Quote: "Fun Zone is compact, light and agile. With an OS .25 SF ABC, vertical performance is rapidly out of sight, and at 2-1/2 pounds with 450 square inches of wing area, slow flight characteristics are excellent and predictable. The plane has no inherent personality and will respond immediately and exactly as directed.
Begin construction with the wing. Cut sub-leading edge, spar, spar joiners, TE joiner and ribs to shape as shown on plan. CA spar halves together and attach joiners. CA trailing edge joiner to 3/8 x 1-1/2 in inch trailing edge stock. Attach aft halves of W-1 ribs and W-2 tip ribs to spar and, taking care to keep it straight and even, attach trailing edge to ribs. Add remaining W-2 aft halves. Attach front W-1's and tip W-2's to spar front. Attach left and right sub leading edges, then add remaining W-2 fronts.
Use a sharpened 1/8-inch diameter brass tube to punch left wing ribs and spar tip to accommodate 1/8-inch diameter nylon antenna tube. Install antenna tube. Bevel sub-leading edge top and bottom to wing rib contour and attach leading edge sheeting. CA the 3/16-inch leading edge in place, round and sand smooth. Check that trailing edges of ribs are recessed 1/16 down from TE top surfaces. Trim TE sheeting to fit around TE joiner then CA in place. Attach center sheeting, cap strips, and fillets.
Using a balsa stripper or straight edge, cut one inch from the trailing edge along its full length. Cut the ailerons from the strip you have removed. CA tip pieces back to trailing edge and attach 3/16-inch light balsa wing tips. Notch center TE section to fit aileron torque rods..."

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.
