Burka II (oz8202)
About this Plan
Burka II. Towline glider model. Wingspan 82 cm.
"Plan of BURKA II, a good elemental glider, was designed by enthusiast modeler who mediated the decade of the sixties founding a company called BURKA. It was sold in several ways, completely finished, in the form of a kit and in flat form, the kit included a small rubber sandow 'Pirelli' flat and its cable. I used to fly in thermal and on slopes with excellent flight characteristics. Easy and cheap we have done a little bigger (1/2 more and assisted by radio) with equal result."
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Update 28/8/2022: Added CAD zipfile (dxf and lbrn2 format), thanks to Stanley-Cz.
Quote: "Hi, I played around a bit in LightBurn and cut the plan into curves. Not professional work, but a good base for building. I made both DXF and direct lbrn2 for LightBurn. I hope someone likes it and finds it useful."

Some photos of the maiden flight of BURKA II, 45 years after having built the first one [model photo & more pics 003-011]. Also a photo found later where you see how BURKA was sold in the Stores (Corte Ingles) Madrid [more pics 012]. This photo is from the Air Museum section of aeromodels.Pajariperro - 25/11/2016
Hi Mary and Steve, Bad time for corona virus, but is time for Go Ahead [pics 013-018]. Burka II during confinement, also time to think about all our model friends.

This could be my next holiday project but I strugle with the parts list. Can someone give me a hint about what kind of material "sesang" is?

Hardwood? Basswood? Ramin??

Have no clue what "sesang" actually is in the kit. I would substitute spruce, pine or something similar. Sometimes kits from all over the world use materials we aren't familiar with and we have to do the best we can. Imagine my struggles with a Japanese kit called the Bird Bee back in the day, not a single word in English. But it flew, no problem. Looks like your leading and trailing edge balsa is "trailing edge stock", might be hard to find. Just carve and sand to shape before gluing in place. Use hard balsa for enough strength. Notches can be cut with a sanding block made from the same thickness as the ribs, easy.

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.
