Outerzone is... 2 plans, every day

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 16,948 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.

Hi Steve, I realized there are no photos of Ken Willard’s Traveler on the page for it. My dad built two of these [main pic, 005]. One he built while visiting family friends over several trips in the mid 90s. And it hung on their ceiling...

Is there a full set of wing ribs avaliable for the wing?

Hi Steve and Mary, I wanted to use the very calm and nice weather in a small nearby park. Too small for RC. So in less than an hour I build the SIG Flip [main pic, 003, 004]. I used 2,5mm sheet for the wing, instead of a fully sanded down...

Couple more photos of my Sidewinder Delta [main pic, 016], built from Oz plans. Flew it last week first time in a year. She flew very well. Faster than I thought, we timed it on a radar gun at 75mph. Easy to fly but hard to see. A three...

Thank you Tom and all for publishing this racy little gem! I was happy to see it still exists and is on display at the Musee Espace Air Passion in Anger / France: Martin K. : Leduc RL.21 : 07/10/2026

It would be good to supplement this plan with a description of the assembly process and a materials list, so one can go to the store and purchase the necessary supplies for construction.
gracias..

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.
