SCALE RC MODEL AIRPLANE PLANS OF THE FAIREY FANTOME.

OF ALL THE SCALE RC MODEL AIRPLANE PLANS AVAILABLE, THESE MAYBE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIPLANE EVER.

Photo shows the Fantome when it was brand new and  yet to be flown!

This page contains many photos of the Fantome and a link to Gerry Bates Plans for those of you who would like to purchase a set of plans.

Jerry has very kindly volunteered to offer copies of my original CAD drawn plans. Click here or on the logo to the left to visit his new site.

More details of the model and the full size aircraft are available  by visiting this page- Large Scale Model Aircraft.

MODEL SPECIFICATIONS.

Just to prove that it does fly! The Fantome on a low level fly by. The model flies very well and is a joy to land. I line her up on the runway and reduce throttle to about half and fly her in. When over the threshold reduce throttle to about 1/4 and fly her in.

Here you can see the finish of silver Solar film and maybe the rib tapes. A coat of clear polyurethane was applied over the finish. The finish on the forward fuselage is a mixture of Presto film and Flite Metal. More details on how to apply finish, both simulated metal and fabric can be found by looking at this page-Detail Finishing of Scale RC Airplanes.

 

 

This photo gives you an idea of the model's size. Here you can see the rib tapes ( there are a LOT of them!) and the Monokote RAF roundels.

I think this is my favorite photo.

I must thank Doug Martin for the excellent flying shots.
