Quote: "INTRODUCTION Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Top Flite Gold Edition Beechcraft T-34B Mentor. Since this is a scale model with lots of detail, you'll find it takes longer to complete than the sport models you've built before. But since this is a Top Flite Gold Edition kit, it isn't more difficult to build than those sport models. The Top Flite T-34B Mentor uses the same materials and standard construction techniques you've already become accustomed to. You won't have to learn anything new to end up with a first class scale model! Not only that, nearly all of the trim schemes you'll find on full size T-34B Mentors are quite simple and should be easy to duplicate with Top Flite MonoKote film!
The Top Flite Beechcraft T-34B Mentor is an excellent Sportsman or Expert Scale subject. Its large size and accurate scale outline afford you the opportunity to go all out with as many extra details as you like. And with the abundance of T-34B Mentors at airports around the country, finding a full-scale plane to model shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone who has mastered a low wing sport model should be able to fly the T-34B Mentor without difficulty. It handles very much like a full size T-34B Mentor–smooth and predictable.
Because of its 80” wingspan, the Top Flite Beechcraft T-34B Mentor is eligible for IMAA* events. In order to be IMAA legal some of the control components and hardware may need to be replaced to conform to Giant Scale rules even though this model does not require heavy-duty hookups.
Several scale accessories specially designed for the Top Flite T-34B Mentor are available separately including a full cockpit interior, in-cowl exhaust system, and a complete lighting kit. See the Scale Accessories section on page 5 for more information..."

Quote: "Hello, I'm sending you this drawing of the discontinued Top Flite line. As far as I understand, they're no longer online. The drawing is included in the manual, but I've attached vectorized PDFs of the parts brought to scale. The fuselage, wing, and component drawings are all brought to scale. I'm attaching photos of the model I made; it flew perfectly. I hope my contribution will be useful to many of you, as it's a great model that requires many homemade parts. I mentioned that I made the model at the time, reduced to 75% of the drawing I'm sending you here, and with an ASP 46 engine [pics 005, 006]. Best regards, Guillermo Gimenez, Argentina"

ScaleType: This (oz16165) 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_T-34_Mentor
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.
