About this Plan

F-100 Super Sabre. Scale jetex 50 powered fighter.

Planfile includes build instructions.

Quote: "The Super Sabre has been developed from the F-86 Sabre and made itrs maiden flight in May 1953. One of the most interesting features of that flight was that supersonic speed was achieved and the Super Sabre is, in fact, readily capable of exceeding the speed of sound in level flight. Power is a 10,000 pound thrust Pratt and Whitnet J-57 split-compressor turbojet engine, with the addition of an afterburner which boosts trust to the region of 15,000 pounds.

Building Instructions: First, cut out all the printed parts carefully. Cut all straight lines with the aid of a straight-edge (eg a metal ruler) and take particular care in forming the notches.

The majority of the basic assembly is carried out right on top of the plan, so rub a candle all over the drawing to prevent cement sticking to the paper. Then lay the fuselage keel parts in place..."

    ScaleType: This (oz731) 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/North_American_F-100_Super_Sabre
    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.

User comments

I used the Skyleada plan do build a rubber powered pusher model of the F-100. I used a lost foam technique for the fuselage using the plans dimensions and Koutny style 1/16” x 1/32” stringers to keep the nice rounded fuselage shape. The complete build can be found on the Stick and Tissue Forum here’s the link: https://www.stickandtissue.com/forum/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1314322723/7. Enclosed find a picture of the finished model less the pusher prop [main pic]. Regards,

Ooh, that's nice work. Have grabbed a pic of the barebones framework too [pic 003] from your build thread. Many 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.
