Title: Free Plan - Eagle (bird) slow flyer
Post by: sihinch on May 11, 2020, 09:24:40 AM
Hey Everyone,

I bought another EPP Eagle slow flyer, similar to the one some of you have seen me fly.  @BJROB said he was interested in getting a "plan" or an outline of the parts, so he could perhaps build one.  I did also wonder about building one from balsa?

The wing is not included here, because basically it's a straight 1200mm wing with little "ruffles" on the trialing edge.

But here is an outline of all the other parts, should you decide to build one.  You have to place page 2 and 3 next to each other so that they line up like the photo.....

Photo of side plans.

If anyone wants an explanation of how the parts fit I'm happy to add that too.

Just a suggestion, the fuselage sides should be following the wing contour and not be flat.
This is mine and flies very well, even if slightly underpowered.

@sihinch , sorry,  :-\ I thought that the first picture showing a triangle was for the wing underside (Jedelsky type wing).  Would you have a picture of the completed model?  :D Also, for colouring, what type of paint did you use? Mine was completed with airbrushed Tamiya acrylics I had on hand. Always looking for another new project. ;D

Mine was a kit, made by Dancing Wings. It's all pre-painted (but I touched it up in some places with acrylics, by hand.)
