EP3: Scratch build R/C Airplane: Setting up to cut the kit

Scratch building a Ryan’s Rebel stick style R/C airplane:
Episode 3, Tips for getting the plan to the wood.

Scratch building is all about putting the base materials (wood) together to form a custom built superior quality model aircraft. In this episode I discuss the methods used for transferring the shapes and part templates from the paper plan, to wood… without cutting up the plan.

There are three .pdf files to download, one is the original set of plans but they are heavily over scanned and hard to read. The second is a well done CADed version, all lines are crisp and all writing is readable. I took this set to Staples and they were able to print perfectly. The scale is set to an 80- inch wingspan…

The last pdf is the article from RCM magazine and includes that bonus materials list.

Let’s get building!!!
