Antoinette VII Specification: Wingspan: 39 ft 11.7 m Length: 39 ft 11.7 m Gross weight 1500 lbs 680 kg Engine: 50 hp Antoinette water-cooled V-8. Antoinette VII ARF 6
The Model I have chosen the scale 1:5, as it gives a reasonable big airplane but small enough to handle in a car. As you can see from the documentation the variations of the Antionette VII are numerous and your choice can be any one of the depicted aircrafts. Also, the same aircraft has different appearances at different occasions. The airplane comes with the fuselage in two parts with the landing gear attached to the front section and the tail feathers attached to the rear section. It remains only to join the two sections and hook up the control wires from the tail section. The wings are pushed into the fuselage in holes located on the sides and the wing supporting wires attached with the kwick links "turmbuckles. Attach the wing warping wires. It may be necessary to adjust the tension of the wires. Specification Wingspan 234 cm 92.1 inch Length 234 cm 92.1 inch Weight 5400 g 11lb 9oz. Wing surface 200 dm² 3200 Sq inch Wing load 25g/dm² 9 oz/sq foot Engine 4-cycle 15 - 20 cc .90 - 1.20 (RCV) Installation of engine. A suitable engine for this model is the British RCV .90 (15 cc 4-cycle) engine. A vertical firewall adjusted for this engine has been installed and the dummy engine fits around and adjacent after this engine. If you feel more comfortable with more power, Nylon screws you may chose the RCV 120 but bearing in mind that the extra weight has to be compensated. This type of engine has several advantages on this type of aircraft. It is slim and follows the profile of the real aicraft. Access to starting is away from the propeller and with the reduction of 2:1 on the propeller shaft it has a torque that allows a 18"x12 propeller to be used, all in the interest of the scale flying. 1. Remove the dummy propeller shaft. If you have to relocate the engine mounts, you can do so and the blind nuts are not secured with glue. 2. Drill the holes from the tank to the carburator, preassure tap and the filling cap. 3. Install the engine and connect the throttle servo. 4. Make cut outs in the dummy engine so that this will fit around and behind your engine. You may have to remove some part of the dummy crankcase and the front rows of cylinders. This "surgery" is executed by removing a little at the time and checking. When you are satisfied with the fit and openings, screw the dummy engine onto the engine mounts using 3 mm screws and washers. We have supplied an installation sketch for you conveniance. Install a round fuel tank in lieu of the dummy tank or us a serie of 5 oz tanks in line. The fuel consumption of the RCV 1.20 engine is approximately .75 oz. per minute For the RCV 90 the fuel consumption is lower but we have no details at this moment.. For a 15 minute flight you would need a 12 oz. tank capacity. Keep the centerline of the tank in line with the carburator of the engine for best fuel supply. Assembly of the two fuselage sections Locating pin Tail part Holes with 4 mm threads Front part Push the locating pins in the tail part in the 3 holes in the front part. Secure with 3 pcs 4 mm diam. nylon screws from the front end into the tail section. Locating pins This bracket is secured with 3 #1x 1/4" screws from both sides. Antoinette VII ARF 7
