Outerzone is... for all

We collect and share plans of vintage and old-timer flying model airplanes. For free. We do it together. And we've been doing it since 2011. No need to login, just grab and go. Thanks to you all, there are now 16,770 plans here for free download. We think that's pretty good going. Thank you for helping us to make Outerzone what it is, an awesome free archive of old-timer goodness. Three cheers for all of us!

Currently under attack...

by a trademark troll. This is an ongoing issue, and our usual level of service will be affected as we manage the situation. Someone in Utah has started a fake Outerzone website called "Outerzone Plans". The same individual has registered "Outerzone Plans" as a US trademark, claiming to have traded under this name since 2011. This is not true: he only registered his domain in 2025. In reality - as all of you know - this site, our site, the real Outerzone, has been running since 2011. We know the trolling is also affecting many of you, the OZ community, who have directly submitted your own work to us over the past 15 years - original designs, drawings, photos etc. We know it hurts to see your work stolen. For more detail on the whole sorry story see: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...send-in-the-Clowns

The outline shape of both the wing and stab is here: SteveWMD : Rascal : 12/07/2026

Eduardo: All plans are the intellectual Property of the kit manufacturer and many MFR wisely decided not to include details and views that would allow for duplication. The Non-recurring cost associated with printing the plan sheets, box...

Here is the Model Aviation article on the Feather Merchant, published around the time of its approval. I have the original eighty inch plan and will submit it as soon as I figure out how!

Eduardo, the word "useless" is not appropriate. It is a bad choice. A better choice would be "incomplete". You have looked over the plan and then asked other people to complete it for you. Not to labour the point too much, but a plan that...

SIG made Rascal in different sizes, from their site you can download instruction with printed parts an layout for every size. The most similar for 049 cox.
Pit : Rascal : 11/07/2026

In my humble opinion, this plan is useless due to an absent wing plan of any type. Not even a three view. I understand why this was done though, since it was drawn to be used with the kit which included the die cut wing sheet and kit...

It is made for a much bigger puls jet than a Dynajet.
Tomas Leijon : Fieseler Fi 103 Reichenberg IV : 11/07/2026

Would be nice to have plan for wing and stabilizer. They probably weren't included with the kit, but an outline tracing would be very nice to have.
DPlumpe : Rascal : 11/07/2026

Had one of these back about 1964! Cox .010, F&M Pioneer rcvr, Babcock escapement. Two aborted flights to get it trimmed out, launched for the third excellent flight that turned into a untimed FF! Forgot to rewind the escapement rubber.

As an afterthought I include these two pictures [014, 015] showing my plane with wing gussets coming from the wing all the way almost to the decal.
fonzwolf : P-63 King Cobra : 09/07/2026

Found your page with the Electro Streak. I built one of these around 1989, originally as an electric, but the power systems back then were barely up to the task. After a bad crash I rebuilt it with a glow .15 motor. Photo attached [pic...

About Outerzone

Outerzone is a listing of free vintage and old-timer flying model aircraft plans to download. The listing is free for everyone - you don't need to register or log in to download these plans.

You can view model plans by category tag (like say free flight, control line, radio control, scale, rubber, etc...) using the browse plans pages. Use the list all page for a full A-Z text listing. There is a keyword search on the search page, or you can try the advanced search page for more detailed searches. There is also an experimental area called the TagMatrix where you can view all the plans that match your own chosen combination of tags (and wingspan and year of origin).

For a quick visual fix, you can page through the latest plan thumbnails added or the latest model pics added, at 60 pics per page.

Outerzone was designed to be maintained and updated by volunteers called Site admins who get involved but (perhaps predictably) it hasn't ever really worked out that way. So with the exception of a few good people who have helped out here in the past (see below) at the moment it's essentially just me. See the FAQ page for more details on how this site works, and why.

Outerzone is also (I hope) a secure repository for vintage model aircraft plans that may have historical significance.

Got feedback? Suggestions? email me. Really, feedback is what we need most.

Want to help me maintain and update this listing? See the get involved pages for more details.

Want to make a donation? The continued running of this site (since launch in March of 2011) involves both time and money. If you want to make a small contribution then click here to donate using Paypal. And bless you.

RCLibrary

Launched in September 2015, RCLibrary is the new sister site to Outerzone. A small but fast-growing collection of old-time modeller books and periodicals, held online as PDF files for free download. Everything is free. The library is open to everyone - you don't need to register or log in before you start downloading these titles. There are no charges or subscriptions. Basically, it's Outerzone for books.

Vinplandex

Click here to visit VinPlanDex - the online index of RCGroups vintage plans thread 1265873. Complete with search facility.

What is the difference between Outerzone and VinPlanDex? Well...

VinPlanDex is is an exhaustive and complete index of every plan that has ever been posted on the Vintage & Old-Timer Plans thread.

In comparison Outerzone is a slightly random collection of plans in PDF format. Outerzone does not include all the plans posted on the Vintage & Old-Timer Plans thread. At a guess, only about 80%. Some plans on here are not from that thread. Also, some are direct submissions.
