Gentlemen,
Attached are photos of my latest Stand Off Scale model aircraft. It is actually a Jim Silhavy "Magician" (published January 1951).
Below are particulars of the aircraft:
AIRCRAFT WEIGHTS:
engine, muffler, & fuel system 13.0 oz
wing & landing gear system 15.7 oz
fuselage 5.0 oz
vertical stabilizer & rudder 0.4 oz
horizontal stabilizer & elevator 2.2 oz
covering & paint 4.1 oz
tip weight 0.7 oz
TOTAL WEIGHT 41.1 oz
Engine: OS Max 35 S (purchased in approx 1980)
Fuel Tank: Sullivan 4 oz slant (used because on hand)
Notice the Stooge loop at the rear of the aircraft.
The front Control Line is UP.
I build in to the outboard wing tip 75% of the expected tip weight.
The CG (center of gravity) is .25 behind the design CG.
The aircraft is completely covered with Silkspan.
