About this Plan

F-15 Eagle. Radio control sport model for .40 power.

Quote: "This .40-.45 powered Stand-Off Scale model of the record holding F-15 Eagle will truly give you the sensation of flying the world's most powerful fighter. By Sunjoo Advani.

If you've been dreaming of owning an easy building model which can either be an advanced trainer or an extravagant pattern ship, the F-15 Eagle is your dream come true. The outstanding feature of this aircraft is its dynamic appearance. You will actually feel the sensation of flying the world's most powerful fighter.

The idea behind this project was to create a unique model which would resemble a modern fighter aircraft. The mandate called for an interesting resemblance to a full scale jet slightly modified to be a practical model. Ease in both construction and living would be vital. To reduce complication, the idea of applying ducted fan technology was omitted.

And what a fantastic plane the F-15 really is. First flown in 1972. the F-15 (or CF- 15 as we in Canada call it) holds eight world records. Faster than the Saturn V Rocket. the Eagle can climb to 33,000 feet in less than one minute. The reason for this is what lies behind the pilot: 40,000 pounds of airplane and 50,000 pounds of engine thrust giving the F-15 a greater thrust to weight ratio than any American aircraft. With long range fuel tanks. the pilot can engage in combat at 1,600 mph.

So warn all your friends who are still flying 1/2A backyard flyers, beat-up Falcons and Quarter Scale replicas: the Eagles are coming!

Design Principles: Although this R/C version may not be as sophisticated as the real thing, both Eagles are fantastic performers. With a fully symmetrical airfoil on a laterally stretched wing, the design becomes an efficient model. In addition, the two fins and stretched rear fuselage add to its stability. Double ailerons were employed in order to maintain a high maneuverability factor and also resemble the jet..."

    ScaleType: This (oz5831) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-15_Eagle
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

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.
