ScaleType: This (oz120) 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/Bellanca_14-7
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.

From the last days of the once great Comet Model Airplane Company, I present the Bellanca Cruiser Junior (oz120), 15.25” wingspan [main pic, 003-006]. A 1937 design, the Cruiser was the first mass-produced 2-4 seat private aircraft equipped with a retractable undercarriage. The fuselage shape was also designed to approximate the wing airfoil in order to provide additional aerodynamic lift.Although Comet introduced the Cruiser into their line of kits before the advent of WW2, this version, Kit No. 3102 entered the retail market in 1963. I allowed it to sit for many years in storage before finally constructing it several years ago. My personal feeling at the time was that it constituted a very clumsy redesign effort on Comet’s part…over-built, too much wood. A bit of weight-reduction in the wing area and things improved immensely. She’s a real flyer…first time out…big sweeping climb to the right…all smiles. Why had I waited so long for this treat? The Cruiser is not an unpopular modeling subject, as can been witnessed by all the various plans available here at Outerzone. She’s well worth your attention.

A pretty bird perched on a pole! I cannot identity the blue marking, what is it, please?
Your weight problem on an old kit is easy to solve: leave the box for a time in a place where woodworm are present and they'll eat excess weight in a flash! Better yet if you talk to them first and clearly explain what you need. Take the plans away or they'll go through them as an appetizer. This worked for me nicely :-)

Thanks, I didn't know that logo :-) I was surprised to see the name Bellanca is still on the books.

The Champion, Citabria and Decathalon are all outgrowths of Bellanca and are still very popular, although now manufactured by American Champion Aircraft.

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.
