About this Plan

American Eagle Eaglet. Scale model for radio control and electric motor.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "New! Leisure introduces the electric scale American Eaglet.

The American Eaglet was the first light-plane to receive a type certificate to carry two people on only 45 horsepower. The Eaglet was a 1930's contemporary of the Aeronca C3, Taylor Cub, the Health Parasol, and the Pietenpol Air Camper. The Eaglet's gentle flying characteristics were the reason many flying schools of the day chose it as their standard instructional aircraft.

Leisure's easy-to-build scale model kit of the American Eaglet is '05' electric powered and shares the gentle flight characteristics of the full scale aircraft.

Scaled 1.8 inches-to-foot, the model features a span of 62 inches and a wing area of 571 square inches. Its lightweight structure (40 - 41 oz flying weight) allows a low wing loading of only 10.4 ounces per square foot. When combined with a Leisure flight system turning an 11 x 5 prop, flight performance is spectacular.

Takeoff occurs after a 20 foot ground roll, climb-out is brisk and the model has been thermaled in moderate lift conditions. Gentle landings are a breeze.

Scale details and documentation included on the plans make this a scale contest winner.

The American Eaglet is powered by an LTSO '05' motor geared 2.5 to 1, a 7 cell 800 ma battery pack and switch harness, which comes pre-packaged in Leisure's complete flight system: #603A."

    ScaleType: This (oz7133) 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/American_Eagle_Eaglet_31
    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.
