Olymp (oz7784)
About this Plan
Olymp. Radio control sailplane model. The wing is shown at three different wingspans, and the fuselage seems to be ready-moulded fibreglass, so only a few bulkheads are shown.

Hi Steve, The Olymp comes from Georg Friedrich in Erding, Bavaria, Germany, who developped his planes totally by himself, distributed themselves up to around 1978, later by Bauer-Chocal in Munich. The fuse is made from epoxy, he had his own system of always fitting wings and fuses, whatever they are made from. He had old fashioned wings with ribs an spars, "medium fashioned" wings with styrene and balsa and his most sophisticated ones made from a quite solid foam "Rohacell" (-> rohacell.com), insoluble with styrene or most other hydrocarbon solvents, with a coat of glass fibre & epoxy. A link to a german forum to this particular item: http://preview.tinyurl.com/zjs776e The 9th poster there, "balsaschorsch" is his son. He never ever worked together with Graupner.Patrick - 21/06/2016
Thanks Patrick, have changed this listing now and removed any mention of Graupner.

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.
