Concorde (oz9450)

About this Plan

Concorde. Radio contro pusher-prop model for .049 morors and 2 function radio.

Quote: "THE idea of building a Concorde, and subsequent motivation, was inspired through remembering the successful free flight Concorde (featured as a free plan in Aero Modeller) and the apparent ease and informality of flying scale only models at the ever successful MAP Scale day each June at Old Warden. My original model (and subsequently this also) was scaled up from the Airfix plastic 1/144 scale kit using the finished model. It was apparent from the beginning that using funnyfarm measurements would ease the multiplication by 3 needed to arrive at the desired 1/48th scale.
There are intentionally slight deviations (artistic licence) from the true scale. This occurred when I rounded up or down a few measurements for simplicity.
Wings: Edge joint sufficient pieces of 1/8 in. sheet balsa to make up the wing. This is easily done by first Sellotaping the sheets together on one side then opening out using the tape as a hinge applying PVA and finally closing the joint. Weight the assembly until dry..."
