ScaleType: This (oz16378) 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/Miles_Sparrowhawk
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.

User comments
Steve, Mary, Here are some pictures of my rendition of the Mystic Model Co. dime scale Miles Sparrowhawk (oz16378). Mine was built in 2020 from the plan as published in the March/April 1991 Flying Aces Club newsletter (issue 180). The designer is Daniel Marcus.Color and markings are from 1949 pictures of G-ADNL. The model is light and flies well, although the high thrust line limits how much rubber you can stuff into the fuselage for outdoor flying. Best time from it so far is around 100 seconds, with a bit of help from thermals.
There's a short build thread for the model on the Stick and Tissue forum here: https://www.stickandtissue.com/forum/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1595736763/0
Thanks again for all you do to keep these plans available. Cheers,

There's also some flight video of the model here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v071qtSKtUk

@Mike Kelly,
Same field as Wicko Wizard?

Yes, still miss flying there. We're flying at a much larger and nicer field now, but it's an hour's drive to get there so we don't fly as often.

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.
