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.

Nice plan but no ribs shown just the leading edge and spar position.Simon Rogers - 08/12/2025
Fixed now, see update. The page at ivcmac.bmfa.uk/malmstrom-plans has two available versions of this plan, on A3 and A4 sheets. This A4 version is complete.

The article, plan (& cover photo!) appear in the November 2023 Aeromodeller. The model is a great flyer - surprised us too!
I made the wing ribs from balsa sheets rectangles/ oblongs sanded to a pleasing aerofoil shape after assembly.

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.
