ScaleType: This (oz12513) 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/Schleicher_K_8
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.

User comments
This kit was highly prefabricated, including a fuselage of GRP and foam core wings. Thus, I fear, the plans are more for rebuilding an old model or for sheer nostalgia.Martin - 06/10/2020
The plan seems to have enough geometrical information to allow a dedicated and nostalgic enough modeller to rebuild the drawings, even doing a new fuselage be it in GRP or stringers and formers depending on taste, ditto thing for the wings, in foam or sticks. Some tasks are impossible, this one doesn't appear so.

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.
