Quote: "Steve, I don't see the Sterling North American AT-6 Texan - Kit A9 (WS 18in) plan set on Outerzone. Attached are the plans for this kit that I am positive I got from Hip Pocket Aeronautics web site before it crashed. Now they have transitioned to the new site... Maybe you can find it there so it can be accredited it to who posted it? Thanks.
Roger"

ScaleType: This (oz16715) 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/North_American_T-6_Texan
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.

Do the plans show the retract system?Bill

yes, see the plan description and sketch

Bill, I wouldn't get too excited about the working gear. These are not "retracts" in any meaningful sense. This kit is an 18 inch rubber model. Yes, on the plan it says "Automatically operates landing gear"- but all that means is when the rubber unwinds, the landing gear drops down. That's all.

I built the Nieuport II with the “rockets” that fired from a tube glued to the interplane struts. One of my proudest jobs, but it did not fly at all. And I see now that I need to submit a scan of those plans to OZ.

Can anyone identify who posted this Texan scan up onto HPA in the first place? Would be good to credit them. The scale bar added at the bottom of the pages seems like a kind of trademark?
SteveWMD - 30/04/2026
Dave, with the Nieuport plan, I think we have that one in the pipeline. Well, we have the Sterling kit ref A-5 (that's a 24 inch Nieuport 17 complete with rockets) coming along soon. Might save you some effort.

I think could be Dave Cowell of Aero-Werkes old companies short kits production.

Ah ok, maybe that was who. Does anyone know what username he used to use when posting on HPA?
SteveWMD - 01/05/2026
I remember Gravitywell was a prolific Sterling plans contributor.

I'm trying to remember the usernames we used to see on HPA. I think maybe it was Skyraider? If you do an advanced search on here on Outerzone for Sterling plans credited to Skyraider, you get this: https://outerzone.co.uk/advanced/search/results.asp?K1=skyraider&F1=Crdt&K2=sterling&F2=Publ and a few of those have the same scale bar on them. Like this: Monocoupe (oz14832) and this: Fairchild PT-19 (oz2024). I reckon it was Skyraider. Will use that as the credit for now. If and when more info comes along, we'll change it.

Skyrider sounds good to me. Plans are in his style.

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.
