About this Plan

Spacebound. Control line stunt model.

Quote: "DEVELOPED through three models Spacebound has its lines drawn from Spacehound (oz1826) the large Russian stunter in Aeromodeller Plans Service. A prime design consideration was a light wing loading and for this reason its 33-1/2in span wing has 200 square inches of area for an all up weight of only 13 ounces with a PAW 1.49cc engine. To obtain this sort of weight wing ribs must be lightened, and be very careful when selecting the wood, bearing in mind the function of each section of the model that the wood is required for. Flying performance leaves little to be desired with smoothness a notable feature, though it still performs 'squares' and 'triangles' with ease. Of course, it has limitations, as being lightly loaded it is best not to fly in anything stronger than a moderate breeze, and secondly it was not designed as a crashproof brick, so make sure the ground does not come up and hit it, or something like that! Any 1.5cc engine should give a sprightly performance and the wheel spats are an optional extra for those who want a sleeker model..."

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.
