Kastor (oz7436)
About this Plan
Robbe Kastor. Radio control sport model.
Quote: "Hi Steve, here is another plan copy from my left overs. It's the Kastor from Robbe, a small 4 channel low wing trainer for .15 - .19 engines. It's been my first 4-channel model, around '73 I think. Maidened it from tarmac, crashed it on tarmac (luckily it was repairable, for a 13 year old crying would not have been an option). Today I would significantly reduce the dihedral and also modify the rear part of the fuselage, as this part was rather weak and so it easily broke every now and then. Best Regards,"

The profile type must be corrected in the instruction manual. Originally a NACA6412 was figured out, in fact it shows a NACA2415. It's a mistake in the manual not from your side. Let me say many thanks for this very nice plan. Greetings from Germany.anon - 07/02/2016

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.
