1935 Hawker Super Fury Flying Model Plans
The
wingspan of the finished model is 18.5 inches, and the total length
is 14 inches. As can be seen, the construction is tissue covered
balsa, using 'stick and tissue' construction for the frame, ribs and
formers.
The
plans are complete and highly detailed, and can be used to construct
and finish the model exactly as shown in the photo of the model
below.
As
can be seen, the plans and instructions are mounted in a clear
plastic report cover, with the plans themselves inserted into a
plastic sheet protector that can be used to store the templates that
are cut from the plans, as well as storing the plans themselves.
Multiple
templates are included for the formers and ribs. They are included
on pages separate from the plans themselves. This way, the plans
won't be damaged if your method of construction includes cutting out
the templates.
These
plans were originally published in 1930s aviation magazines and were
not necessarily complete in that they sometimes had to be scaled to
fit the magazine's pages. In doing so, some pieces were left out or
split to comply with space constraints and fit on adjoining pages.
It was left to the builder to reconstruct parts or rescale the
drawings where needed.
The
plans that I am offering here are scanned from the originals. Then,
using the computer, they are then redrawn, rescaled, and corrected
where needed with the use of graphic editing and CAD programs to
combine split components, correct errors and add missing parts.
These
two photos to the left are of the actual completed model, covered
and uncovered. Photo taken in 1934.
Unlike
the original 1934 magazine plans, these are all printed on only one
side of the paper so that cutting one side doesn't damage something
you may need on the other.
Also,
unlike the originals, where necessary these are corrected, rescaled
plans and are then printed full size, to the scale mentioned above,
including the complete original instructions. To clarify the
construction, I have added to the original instructions, both on the
plans sheets themselves, and in a booklet of generic hints, that
aids in building, covering, painting, balancing and flying the model
when completed.
I
also include a hints and tips booklet, with first orders, to make
your finished model an item to be proud of. The plans include the
details for a scale propeller for display, and a flying propeller
for... well ... flying!
The
plans also include the markings and information on a paint scheme
for them. This detail is present throughout the entire model, so the
builder can choose any level of finishing that his skill, knowledge
and patience dictate.
The
original drawings and dimensions for the plans were taken directly
from the full size aircraft in the 1930s, and reflect the original
much more accurately than other plans may.

These
plans will allow one to build the rubber powered flying model of the
1934 Hawker Super Fury as shown at the left and in the photos below
of the finished model, and the uncovered skeleton.
These
last close-ups show some of the detail that is present in the plans.
These scans shown here are not representative of the quality of the
plans themselves. These are reduced in resolution and size to make
smaller files for downloading. The plans
themselves are clearly printed, highly detailed, full size drawings
to the scale mentioned above.
