About this Plan
Dornier 27. Rubber scale model. Plan also shows Cox Pee-Wee conversion.
Quote: "Dornier Do 27 by D Garrett
It is a long time indeed since Aeromodeller featured a plan for a rubber powered scale model. Actually the demand for such a model is limited with so many excellent small (.3 - .75 cc) engines readily available, but enthusiasts for this type are usually painstaking modellers who take a great pride in the precise workmanship which goes into their models. David Garrett's little Dornier 27 will, we feel, fulfil such an enthusiast's requirements. It is not complicated, but the less experienced would need to have constructed at least two previous models to competently execute the Dornier's fuselage.
The full size Dornier Do 27 is a STOL Multi-Purpose high wing monoplane seating 6 to 8 persons. It uses a 270 H.P. Lycoming engine and Hartzell constant speed propeller. The wing incorporates a full span leading edge slat, the full span landing flaps and ailerons are double-slotted for excellent slow flying characteristics and outstanding abilities for short take-off and landing (STOL), making the aircraft particularly adaptable for operation from the smallest of landing strips. Add to this the possible use of the Do 27 for Cargo Transport, Aerial Advertising, Crop Spraying, Aerial Photography, Ambulance and Rescue Work, Glider Towing, and Shorthaul Traffic, one begins to understand the potential of this aircraft. It is the only one of our acquaintance that has the airspeed indicator reading to minus figures!
Start construction with the wing, built in three pieces - left and right panels and centre section. Of these the left and right panels are built first. Notch the 1/8 x 1/2 inch trailing edge, pin down over the plan and pack up to meet the section. Pin down the 1/8 x 3/8 inch mainspar over the plan and cement the wing ribs in position, followed by 1/16 x 1/8 upper surface spar. Wing tip will depend on the section preferred..."

ScaleType: This (oz10121) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_27
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
