About this Plan

Potez 75. Free flight scale rubber model of the French ground attack aircraft, from 1955 Aeromodeller. All-sheet design. Scale is 1/24.

Quote: "HERE IS A model which, though not exactly for beginners, is about the easiest to build scale model we can devise. For a modeller with a little experience it is also easy to finish well. Sorry we can't pre-fab it for you, but we have avoided tissue covering and have worked out all the patterns, Use the lightest, softest balsa you can get for best flying results but don't worry, it has bags of oomph and can carry extra weight. The scale, except for the prop, is 1/24th as near as published information will allow.

Fuselage. Cut out formers A, B and C. Trace fuselage view of shaded longerons and formers and turn over so that you can then make two halves. Pin down 1/8 x 1/16 strips (shaded) and add formers. Cut out two fuselage side patterns from light pliable 1/32 balsa. Cement top edge to top longeron of each half frame and allow to dry. Slightly dampen outside. Wait for two minutes. Check that pattern fits properly when pulled down over formers. Smear edge of formers and bottom straight longeron with cement. Curve the sheet gently down over the frame making sure full contact is made..."

    ScaleType: This (oz1389) 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/Potez_75
    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.
