Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember the ‘1st Chuck’ from July 2018
http://www.rcindia.org/kites-trains-free-flight-and-all-others/1st-chuck/

It’s time for the 2nd Chuck.
This time it’s a Lunchbox, an 8” span hand launch glider, designed by John Oldenkamp, a well known American designer, in 1975.

Plans are available here:

I didn’t print the plan. Just saved it as a pic on my iPad.
Then adjusted the size for 8” span and saved a screenshot.
Then copied it and made a paper template.

I’m surprised at how busy people are!
This kit needs 5 minutes to assemble. A few more if you wish to sand the wings.
Of course you’ll need an hour in the park on Sunday to fly it!
Sponsorship however needs no time at all!

Queries about model on this thread please. Had to move this query.
On the ‘Next Contest’ thread, only contest queries please.

Pl see the plan.
It says 3/32 for wing, 1/8 hard for fuselage, 1/32 for empennage.
I’ve used 2.2mm for wing, 2x2.2mm for fuselage, 1.5mm sanded to 0.75mm for empennage

I’m not clear about the reason for this query  Huh?

In case you are not able to access the plan via the link in the first post, do this:

Go to outerzone.co.uk
Select search
Enter ‘Lunchbox’

You’ll get the plan.

Thanks to R C GUY for pointing out the error

The 5 kits together weigh 30gms.
Or 6 gms each without nose weight.
Or probably 8-9gms with nose weight for balance.

If someone can get the AUW down to 5gms, it’ll be a wortwhile achievement.
And the difference in performance will show.

For comparison, the foamy version weighs nothing according to my scale!

Ok sir , here’s a very short video . It glides smoothly , inside the room . Since it’s raining outside in most of the evenings ( predicted to continue for 4 more days) , I need to find a less windy day for more testing . Am I allowed to throw it from the balcony ? Smiley From the rules , I think I have to launch it from the ground itself , isn’t it sir?

Excellent!
Just reduce nose weight a bit.
That will induce a slight stall.
Correct it by giving very slight left rudder.

No elevated launch. Otherwise the guy at the tallest building wil win  Grin

Post a pic of the model too.

Yes.
This is the build thread.
All pics and videos of builds, test flights etc are most welcome.
Might even inspire others.

Later you can post your duration flight videos as entries in the Next Contest thread.
