Quote: "After building the MIRA 3 (oz16092) , I spotted the NITRA 3 in the same book. A rare glider of great originality. Among its many appealing details are magnificent curved wings, ailerons extending beyond the wingtips, curved trailing edges, a landing gear with two large wheels, a fish-fin shaped rudder, and finally, a round, faceted fuselage with a diamond cross-section. After scanning the text page, I ran it through Acrobat Pro's OCR to transform the image into selectable text that could be pasted into an online translator. I then discovered that the fuselage was made of metal. This will simplify things considerably; once you've experienced it, tubular construction is much simpler and stronger than wood..."
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

NotFound | help
This is a scale plan, but ScaleType is set as NotFound.
This happens when we can't find a relevant Wikipedia page to link to. Usually because the type in question is uncommon.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

Such exceptional artistry, the most romantic and whimsical of scale aero models.Madhukar - 28/11/2025
I love quirky models, and this one is right up there at the top. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. I'd love to see this on my slope.

Nitra is a cute town in Slovakia with a lot of history. Notice the shield on the fuselage.

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.
