Taube Monoplane (oz1666)
About this Plan
Taube Monoplane. Scale rubber free flight model, copyright dated 1915.
Quote: - "HOW TO BUILD AN "IDEAL" TAUBE MONOPLANE. When these directions have been properly followed in connection with the drawing, there will result an exact scale reduction model of a Taube Monoplane that we guarantee to rise from the ground by its own power and give a successful flight of about 109 feet, provided 'Ideal' Model Aeroplane Supplies are used.
As this model is made with the same kinds of material, with the same parts and, on a small scale, in the same manner as the large aeroplane, the constructor will receive an excellent general idea of modern aeroplane construction, that will be highly educational.
Copyright, 1917, by Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Co., New York, N.Y."

ScaleType: This (oz1666) 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/Etrich_Taube
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.

Thanks to your website, I can build what I want with high quality plans. I built a TAUBE from the free flight plan, with pvc and bamboo, and made a twisted wing [more pics 003-007]. It flies smoothly. Weighs 240g, span 900mm.HJStar_ShenZhen_China - 30/10/2018
Here are some more photos [more pics 008-015]. However, the flying photos are taken from videos shot by my mobile phone, so they are not as clear as real photos.

No need to apologise HJ, these are beautiful photos.

What covering did you use?
Marc - 20/03/2020
The covering material of the Taube is 1mm thick pp board (we call it magic board in China). It weight is 0.7-0.8g/dm2 or 70~80g m2.

Hi Steve, here are photos of my Ideal Taube Monoplane [pics 016-022]. I built it to the letter of the plans to the best of my ability. I am still considering making it three channel RC. The frame is nailed and the reed that comprises the wings and tail feathers are sewn with copper wire. Absolutely enjoyable build but I often thought I was building a model ship than an airplane!

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.
