About this Plan
Juggler. Control line stunt model. Wing area 270 sq in, for 3.5 - 5cc engines.
Quote: "WHEN considering his 1950 programme, the designer realised the need for a medium-powered stunt design in his stable. The model needed to be simple, quick and economical to build and repair, yet possess reasonable appearance, able to withstand the inevitable prangs, and have maximum stunt performance. The purchase of one of the new Frog 500 motors solved the power plant problem, and so round this motor grew the Juggler.
That all the required features had been obtained was apparent from the first take-off. Juggler will take the book in its stride, yet remain docile enough for the newcomer to higher powered stunt flying to feel completely at ease.
Fuselage and Tail. Commence construction by cutting the engine bearers to length and bolting the motor to them. Cut out formers A to C, and cement them into position on the bearers, pre-cementing all joints. While this assembly is drying, cut the two fuselage sides from hard sheet, making sure that the two are identical. Cement the sides to the bearer assembly, again precementing all surfaces, and cement the rear ends of the sides together. Former D is now inserted. Cut out the tailplane and elevator from medium sheet, sand to shape and hinge with linen hinges. Bolt the elevator horn to the elevator. Cement this unit into position on the fuselage.
Cut out the bellcrank anchor block and bolt the pivot bolt to it, slot into the fuselage sides and cement firmly. At this stage fix the gussets on the anchor block, and also at the end of the bearers. Bend the push rod to correct length and hook one end through the elevator horn, fixing the other end to the bellcrank, holding it in place with a soldered washer. Firmly cement the U/C box to former A, and add reinforcement strips between the bearers, fix wing dowels into place..."

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.
