Full-scale aerobatics are nothing compared to what you can do with this scale model. by Gene Monat assembled to the sides, insert the motor mounts and attach the first two bulkheads to them. The bottom of the fuselage, between the third and fourth bulkhead is covered with one sixteenth sheet, after which the outside section of the bulkhead may be added to the third former position and the nose section flanked with soft one eighth by three eighths strips and sanded to one sixteenth thickness . •• BUCKER N JUNGMEISTER CONTROLINER , N model aviation there is almost nothing that tops the thrill of flying a scale model, for , to some extent, it is like full-scale flight. Flying a .model instead of a real plane may be more enjoyable. because the modeler is not only t est pilot but designer, builder, and , indeed, the whole works! Until the advent of controline models, scale work was not very practical because of the fac.t that too few ships lent themselves to the combination of good scale appearance and reasonable flight characteristics. One had to be sacrificed for the benefit of the other. Controlining made it possible to build the model exactly to scale without forfeiting the slightest degree of flight performance. This month we present the Bucker Jungmeister, a natural for a stunting scale model. The full-scale ship I was flown b y most of the world's greatest stunt pilots among whom was . Ernst Udet, as well as being used as a leading training ship for the Luftwaffe. Ud et used to pick up handkerchiefs tied to a twelve inch pole stuck in the ground with the lower wing tip of this ship! Thus far we have said nothing about its looks. W e don't have to, for the photographs t ell a better story than words. The job is very simple to construct, a feat made possible by the unique m ethods employed. Most modelers like t o start on the fuselage first, so here's how. First, cut out all the bulkheads from the fullsize t emplates shown. Then cut the sides of the body from medium soft one sixteenth sheet balsa .. Indicate the bulkhead positions on the sheet sides with fine lines, and start to assemble . After the bulkheads are OW for the wings, which actually present no problem at all. They are of standard construction , and the drawings are self explanatory. You will notice that the landing gear is attached to the spars of the lower wing. It should be cemented and bound with linen or silk to strengthen it. This is done before the wing is assembled to the fuselage. A slot to fit the leading edge of the wing is cut into the one sixteenth sheet covering on the bottom of the fuselage. The wing fillets are made from one sixteenth sheet cut into strips five eights of an inch wide with the grain running the width of the strip instead of the length. This makes them extremely simple to install. The headrest may be cut from a soft block and cemented to the fuselage and the landing gear fairing cut from soft three sixteenths sheet, sanded to a streamlined shape and cemented in between the landing gear struts. Then the gear is covered with silkspan. Well now, but for the wing struts, you are ready for the final assembly. The outer struts are made from one eighth by three eighths bass wood sanded to a streamlined shape. The ends of the struts are left rectangular in shape to fit snugly into the slots provided for them in tHe wing. The inner "N" struts that attach the wing to the fuselage are made of • 7 + balsa wood and are sanded to streamlined shape. Before attaching the upper wing, the ignition system should be installed, making certain to solder all connections carefully. Then the entire ship is covered with silkspan, given a couple of coats of clear dope, then color doped. Now assemble the "upper wing to the rest of the ship. "Attach the outer struts first, then the UN" struts. Add the diagonal wire bracing, which is made from either thread or thin wire and grab your paint brush for the touchingup work. You may now carefully cut away the section of the cowling to install your engine. And that's that. We take it for granted that you have followed these simple hints carefully and adhered closely to the instructions on the plans so all that you have to do now is to slip the ship under your arm, grab the nearest gas can, and take off for the flying field where you will have hours of fun flying your Jungmeister. Stringers are added as indicated, but this we don't have to tell you . We will only give you the procedure to make it easy for you. Notice tha t the rear end of the fuselage is strengthened with one sixteenth bulkheads on top and bottom of the sheet sides to help form the back of the fuselage. At this point, the t a il assembly should be made and installed. This is really a cinch. All you have to do is cut the Rudder 8 and Stabilizer from three sixteenths sheet balsa and sand them to a streamlined shape. A three sixteenths dowel is set into the elevator to stiffen it and assure the two moving together. Make the control horn from thin brass or aluminum sheet and install it; be sure to cement it well. The elevator hinges are made "from silk or linen strips and are doped into position. And that's all there is. Cement the tail assembly to the fuselage and add the fa iring blocks. The control mecha nism may b e installed at this time. To simplify matters, a Victor Stanzel " ControlIt" unit was installed, although any of your favorite types of control mechanism may be used with equally fine results. A section of the sheet side of the fuselage is cut away to allow the Control-It to fit in as indicated. Then it is replaced, and the side stringer cemented in place. Connect the unit to the elevator horn with one sixteenth wire as shown. Build the BUCKER JUNGMEISTER from the plans on pages 20-21-22-23-24 in this issue's FLYING MODELS SPECIAL PLAN SECTION. .
