General Aircraft Skyfarer

[Tony Oliver]

Has anyone got a 3-view of this aircraft?

There are some pictures available on the net but nothing which would enable a model to be built.

Tony,

Plans for a 1/12 scale (1" to the foot) rubber powered model of the Skyfarer appeared in the June 1975 issue of Model Builder magazine. You may be able to buy a copy of the entire article from Gizmogeezer, go to Google and type in "Gizmogeezer". He is very reasonable.

Or, and I'm not sure if these are the identical dwgs, look on "The Plan Page". Matter of fact, just go to Google and type in the name of the aircraft. That will bring up the link to The Plan Page.

Excellent start! - Thank you.
I think I should change to Google, my usually infallible search engine only came up with the pics.

Model Airplane News has some nice plans for the Skyfarer, around 60 inches or so if I recall. Regards, Chad Veich.

Thanks, Chad and Dave, your input has solved the problem.

The model's now on my must build list, so I'll post a pic when it's done.

Thanks again

Hy tonyo,

I have a plan for the bird in pdf file, if you want e-mail me and I send back to you. :D

I´m thinking to use this plan with a winspan of 110 cm (43").

The profile used on the wing I guess that is a Grant -X or Eiffel- 430, I´m not an expertise on aerodynamics, but I like to try change the wing profile to a Eppler 193 with 10,22% of thicknees, and make a horizontal stabilizer with no profile (flat). But Í don´t no if this is good...

I like to some tips about this...

Thanks for all help-me,

Lucas

RC Scale International (UK Magazine) had a .26FS 55" span plan as a free give away in the July/August 1999 issue. I also have some small 3 views of the full size.

I am starting to build one next week, time permitting. I have some good plans that I found on the web.

PM me if you want more info, I can get you some pics and the url for the stuff.

There is a 29" rubber powered Earl Stahl plan here that can be downloaded in a zip file free at the plan page
http://www.theplanpage.com/esp.htm
It can be enlarged to any size you desire, and if you do a search under "Earl Strahl", You'll find MANY people do conversions to electrics here on Ezone, and they fly fantastic! Hope this helped some (GOT to help, if it's FREE! :D )
