Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz15047) 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/Fairchild_24
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.

Looking at the surroundings of the horizontal stabilizer, there is a small device to adjust the angle of incidence. Never saw this before with a rubber powered model, but I wish the Ryan ST-A from Hi-Fliers had one in the late 1970-ies! With today´s knowledge it would be easy to incorporate it, but as a kid of 15 years... Nope.Martin K. - 14/01/2024
I grew up with a 1937 F-24G in my garage' NC19164 just 12 airframes in front of this Ranger powered F-24. They missed one small detail. In 1937 the rear window would have curved down to a straight lower line. They have it drawn upside down.

According to the official registration number the NC19176 belongs to a Fairchild 24K, mod K has the upside down window. I remember the window curve direction was discussed sometimes ago. https://www.aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDossier.php?Serial=103340

Yes, it has been discussed before. See oz14504

Ok, a little more, I’m the guy that kicked off the discussion on oz14504 also. Since original posting here and a little more research, I found a Fairchild production SN number list online and it appears that NC19177 Fairchild serial number 3501 is the first documented evidence of the 1938 production model J with the curved UP rear window and larger fin. So, WRT info in this discussion: Oz14504 has plans to show NC16971 but pictures showing N17857, both N numbers low enough to be prior to 1937 which SHOULD have the flat-bottomed passenger window, the plans are correct the picture is wrong. This plan, oz15047, is odd that it could actually be of SN 3500 the very FIRST 1938 model J, So the window would be correct, but the fin appears to be a compromise between the small 1937 fin and the larger 1938 fin. The clue is the curved fairing at the bottom of the fin is the smaller fin.

Hi Tom, F24J was a (first prod. 1938) stellar engined SN 3501 RN 19177. F24K was a (first prod. 1939) inline engined SN 3300 RN 19176. Consider that tail/rudder area is always increased on rubber powered scale models. For more on SN and RN:

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.
