ScaleType: This (oz15077) 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/Beechcraft_Model_17_Staggerwing
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.

What a beauty! :) I hope the finish doesn't add too many grams to the weight, but the outcome is obvious!This is only an 8.3333% whisker above peanut size, so calling it micro is a bit of a stretch ;)

What a beautiful little model!

Actually no, dear Mike. As you know, 'Micro' has been used for those small RC models that grace our flying fields and Indoor venues for the last twenty years (give or take a couple years ??).
Kyosho started the ball rolling early this century, but was rapidly overtaken by Parkzone, E-Flite and other similar brands. So, imho, you cannot call it a Peanut (more a Walnut, really) but you can call it ‘a Micro’. I agree with you, it can be a little on the heavy side, due to all that exquisite detail – If I were to build it, I would have used Depron, with just a little balsa for stressed points (??).

I find a distinct category overriding the Nuttery standard to be debatable. Perhaps the term addresses the volume of the RC equipment regardless of model size definition.

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.
