Quote: "The Messerschmitt 109 was chosen as a semi-scale stunt ship for several reasons. Position of the landing gear was conducive to simple fast construction with scale appearance. Wing was also a big factor. The tapered leading edge offered flying advantages and the square tip simplified building.
These features kept construction time to a minimum without sacrifice to appearance or performance.
I have been designing stunt ships for over 10 years and I believe the 109 has more to offer for the least amount of effort than anything I have ever witnessed.
As with most stunt ships this 109 has its own story. It began when we learned we would be able to attend the 1957 Nationals. This being my first time to compete in the Nats, I felt I would need a good semi-scale subject.
I found what I was looking for in the 1954/1955 issue of Air Progress. There was a cutaway drawing of the 109 with color combinations and cockpit detail, in fact, it had more detail than I had hoped for.
A plastic model was assembled to obtain the general outline. Construction was fast, so we had time for a few test hops before the long drive to the Nats.
We arrived at the Nationals late and had to get a motel twenty miles from the flying circle. Bill Netzeband, a new but good friend, was on hand to help us test fly the evening before the big day. Bill thought the best time to compete would be in the morning, so the next day I was up with the chickens..."

ScaleType: This (oz14526) 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/Messerschmitt_Bf_109
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.
