ABSTRACT:
A model airplane including a profile fuselage of flat balsa wood and including a balsa wood tail assembly and wing. Convex outwardly fuselage half sections of sheet-like plastic material are secured to the profile fuselage by cement being placed along the top and bottom longitudinal edges of the profile fuselage for securing the longitudinal edges of the fuselage half sections. The profile fuselage includes a cutout adjacent the wing in which a bellcrank is positioned connected to a pushrod extending rearwardly along the profile fuselage and through an opening formed in the profile fuselage. The rear end of the pushrod extends through an opening in the fuselage half section and is connected to the elevator. Leadout control lines extend from the bellcrank along the wing through the fuselage half section. In assembling the fuselage half sections to the profile fuselage a series of pins are placed along the top and bottom longitudinal edges of the profile fuselage and a first fuselage half section is secured to the profile fuselage in engagement with the pins. Upon a bond being formed the pins are removed and the other fuselage half section is cemented in place.
