Minx III (oz9373)

About this Plan

Minx III. Control line sport model for 2 - 5cc power. Frog 500 shown.

Quote: "This easy on the eye model is designed purely for sport flying, and it is a job you can really 'relax' with... by that I mean it is not a stunt model, team racer or speed job, but a high performance model which will give any C/L fan hours of enjoyment, spectacular and care-free flying.

Although quite an advanced model, Minx III is especially suitable for the newcomer to C/L flying, because it is extremely easy to handle in the air, and construction is not difficult.

The model has a number of rather unusual features, among which are detachable main plane, tailplane and undercarriage, strong yet light unorthodox fuselage construction based on my latest speed model practice, extreme 'transportability' (the whole model will pack into a box measuring only 24 x 6 x 6 inches - a good point this, especially when a bus journey is necessary to reach the flying field!) easy access to engine, control system, etc., and internal rubber band main plane fixing.

So now to the work bench, and I feel sure that if you carry out the following construction procedure in conjunction with the full size plan you just cannot go wrong..."
