ScaleType: This (oz16855) 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/Grumman_F4F_Wildcat
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
I am glad that Duane, an informative poster and gifted builder on the Cox Engine Forum has resurrected these Walt Musciano designed Scientific half-A control line aircraft has submitted this plan and Steve and Mary have made it available through Outerzone.Back in the late 1960's as a high school student, I made my own F4F Wildcat profile from 3 views in books I borrowed from the public library. In Scientific's repoitare but not available in the hobby stores of the time (Pete's Model Hobbycraft in Ala Moana Shopping Center, Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii and the island's military base hobby sales stores), I have always loved the look of the Wildcat.
This plan will help me to re-live what I did 57 years ago.

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.
