Standard J1 ARF 6 The excellent quarterly magazine World War I Aeroplanes offers in their July 1980 (#80) issue a cover drawing. There is also extensive research data, a very detailed x-ray drawing by Jim Dunavent and and interesting historical description of the Standard J1. Below: Our model has the paintwork of the aircraft on display in the US Airforce Museum in Dayton Ohio, U.S.A.
The complete airframe before covering The Model We have chosen the scale of 1:5 rendering a model size that i easy to fly but also relatively easy to transport. Both the upper and the lower wing panels can be removed as an assembly, for transportation which gives relatively limited requirement for transportation size. The finished model is painted in 1918 livery and further detailing can be made as per documentation. Specification: Wingspan: 263 cm 105.2" Length: 160 cm 63.8" Weight: 6200 g 13lb. 9oz. Wing surface: 162 dm² 2511 sq” Wing load: 38 g/dm² 13 oz/sq’ Engine 2-cycle .80 - 1.20 Engine 4-cycle 1.20-1.50 Covering and finish The model is covered and painted from the factory. When you have made changes in the fire wall and adapted the dummy engine to fit in line with the engine, you will have to cover the open wood areas with fuel proof paint. Installation of engine. We recommend that you don't overpower this model. It will fly happily with a 1.20 standard 4stroke engine. Our prototype was tried out with a Saito 1.20, 4-stroke engine, which gave more than ample thrust. The engine bearers have been adjusted for this size of engine. The engine is mounted upright justifying the need for adequate cooling. 1. Drill the holes in the engine plywood bearers and fasten the engine with blind nuts on the underside of the plywood. Place the engine as close to the front as possible. The propeller should be approx 1/8" / 3mm) it front of the nose cowl. 2. Drill the holes from the tank to the carburator, pressure tap and the filling cap. 3. Install the engine and connect the throttle servo. 4. Make cut outs in the dummy engine block so that this will fit in line with your engine. 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 on to the engine mounts using 2 screws and washers. Make the additional necessary cut out in the top engine cowling. 5. Reinstall the engine cowl using 4 #2 sheet metal screws. The Saito 1.20 is nicely blending into the dummy engine Standard J1 ARF 7
