O Fungle (oz8356)
About this Plan
O Fungle. Unorthodox rubber sport model.
Quote: "For the Tenderfoot. Looking for something different? Well here it is, and it is about as different as you can get. The O-Fungle is not just different, it's also a great flyer. Everyone will be fascinated by seeing this model fly.
You can build the O-FUNGLE in just a couple of hours if you stick to it, and you shouldn't have any problems because it is so easy to build. Make sure to read all building and flying instructions before starting your model.
Construction: The wing is really the only part of the model that takes any time to build, but that figures because the wing makes up practically the whole airplane. To start with, select a couple of nice pieces of 1/32 sheet C-grain balsa. All surfaces of the wing will be made from these two pieces. The two sheets will be one of two-in, width and one of three-in width. Make sure they are fairly light.
When the wood has been selected, trace the wing patterns on some typing paper. Next make the wing tips. Place the wing patterns on the wood - the wing tips on the two-in wide piece and the wing center sections on the three-in piece of wood. After the wing tips are made, make the wing center sections. When all of the wing is cut out, take one of the wing center section pieces and as on the plan cut off the elevator piece. Make sure the grain goes the right way.
Now that the wing is entirely cut out, you are ready to assemble it. Pin
down the wing center section pieces and then glue up the wing tips on each side.
When all the pieces are cut out, the wing is ready to be glued together. Pin down the wing center section pieces and then glue up the wing tips on each side. Each tip is to be raised up 1-1/4 in. Double glue the pieces before permanently gluing them by rubbing some glue in the porous areas of the wood and letting dry, then gluing them together. It will be much stronger if glued this way..."

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.
