About this Plan
Klubbens. RC soarer model for 2 channels.
Quote: "From Norway, the Cirrus RC-Flyklubb Klubbens 2-Meter. By Kare Schanche. Norwegian and English Two-Meter Class rules restrict controls to rudder/elevator only. Within those rules comes this highly refined, competitive thermal glider developed by the Cirrus club.
INTRODUCTION: The model has been designed at several clib meetings of the Cirrus RC club in Oslo, Norway during the autumn of 1982 and winter of 1983. We have used this opportunity to give our members a simple school-ing in model airplane design, aerodynamics, and practical construction work.
The design manager has been Thorbjorn Jespersen, also known as one of the KITT-193 designers. (See MB February 1984.) The drawings were made at late nights and early mornings by the author.
The appearance has been a compromise between an easy-to-build model and a good-looking model. Our philosophy has been that the Tiwai-ivieterClass ought to be a school-ing class only, arid an introduction to the F36 tasks.
The soaring background in Norway is too small for two competitive programs. In our opinion, a two-rneter model ought to be easy-to-build, easy-to-fly and at the lowest possible cost. That is why woe have chosen only two functions: stabilizer/rudder or V-tail. We have used parts which can be bought in even the smallest modelshop. The standard design has wings made of balsa and fuselage laminated with plywood. Some of our members make foam wings and some cover the fuselage with epoxy/glasribre to achieve a more resistant surface.
When you are going to build a model from scratch, you have to make all the pans. A lot of model builders become apprehensive at this point, particularly the airfoil ribs terrify..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

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.
