About this Plan
Dervish. Radio control sportsetr for .35 to .40 power.
Quote: "AFTER FLYING for a few years with gliders and lightly loaded general purpose sports models, I felt it was time to go for something a little more interesting. I had lost a lot of flying days thanks to windy conditions and so decided to design and build something with a higher wing loading capable of flying through those gustier days. I had just become the proud owner of a Super Tigre 46 which I decided to build around, and the Dervish was the result.
It was designed as an intermediate aerobatic model for .30 to .45 engines. It has not flown with a .40, but this size of engine should prove ideal as my O.S. 30 pulls it around fairly well but does need some coaxing in some of the vertical manoeuvres. Some attention on the part of the builder to keeping the weight down may, of course, help a little.
Construction: Fuselage. Contact adhesive was used to bond the doublers to the sheet sides, and PVA used for the triangular stock. These give most of the strength to the fuselage, so let them dry before fitting the formers F2 and F3 with epoxy. After drawing in the tail and fitting Fl, with its triangular reinforcement, the ply UC mount may be fitted and the underside of the fuselage sheeted. I found it best to fit the tailplane at this stage, and also to attend to the elevator and rudder linkages. I used bowden cable linkages..."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

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.
