This is a very excellent set of plans by Jim
Pepino fora Miles Magister.
The specs are: Length - 85 1/2 inches, Span - 96 inches,
Wing area - 1513 inches, Weight - 23 lbs. or lighter, Wing
loading - 35 ounces, Power - Quadra 50cc. The fuselage is
constructed from 3/16 square spruce or pine, built up with
plywood in the front end, and the whole fuselage is covered
with 1/64th ply veneer. Should be very strong. Alternate
fuselage covering is 1/8th balsa sheet. I'd opt for the ply
veneer as it is easier to work with, just as light and stronger.
The scale tailwheel operates on a compression spring
mounting, as does the landing gear. How to build these
items is shown on the plans. The engine is mounted on a
standoff mount from the firewall and is completely enclosed
which is very unusual. The lifting stab is built up of balsa
spruce and ply, and the elevators are operated on the internal horn.
Tin and rudder are built from a center core or
1/32 ply with balsa edges and ribs. The ply core has lightening holes. I
don't know if a fiberglass cowl is available or not, but should
be. Wing fillets are made from foam and fiberglass, or
carved from balsa. The fuselage is shown in three views and
isometrics and cutaway drawings. Even a camouflage
pattern and color scheme. Also lots of hints on how to
construct a successful mode. The wing is made with 1/2 inch
square Sitka Spruce spar top and bottom, with shear webs
the whole length. The wing is in tree sections, with the
center section holding the landing gear. Ribs are 1/8th balsa
and the whole wing is covered with 1/8th balsa sheet. Split
flaps and how to construct them is shown. Also on the wing
plan is a drawing on how to construct them is shown. Also
on the wing plan is a drawing on how to construct the scale
working landing gear. In all a very excellent, very well
constructed plan of an airplane. but should be a very good flyer.
