About this Plan

Stinson Reliant. Rubber scale model. Ideal Models kit plan to build a rubber powered free flight scale model of a Stinson Reliant high wing cabin monoplane.

Quote: "Ideal presents the greatest advance ever made in Model Engineering. New Super Detail model Stinson Reliant Airliner. 100% scale. With exclusive features never before included in model kits! The entire model designed in exact 3/4 inch scale, every detail accurate and with weights shifted for flying to compensate foir differences in the center of gravity.

Again Ideal has put a new thrill into model building with this 'SuperDetail' Scale Model. This is no ordinary model airplane!

FIRST: it is an absolutely accurate scale reproduction of the new Stinson Reliant Airliner. Every construction feature of the original is duplicated, and in exact scale!

SECOND: the model has fittings and equipment detail never before attempted in any model. You'll be amazed when you study the diagrma above and read the specifications at the left!

Third: this is both an exhibition and a flying model. That's something never heard of before! It is guaranteed to fly when built correctly! And its beautiful, clean-cut appearance, with the yellow and black colourings and glittering high-lustre finish, will challenge the admiration of the most expert model builder..."

This is actually a later reprint in (probably) Model Builder mag in the 80's. Note this is a very low resolution plan.

Update 22/09/2014: Replaced this plan with a re-scaled copy at full size, thanks to planeman.

Update 28/01/2019: Replaced this plan with a clearer copy, thanks to Pit. This is still a low res plan, but it's big improvement on the previous version. Also does not feature the annoying text overlay.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Update 28/01/2019: Added supplement advert file, thank to Pit. This is a full page ad by Ideal Models, published in Popular Aviation, June 1934.

    ScaleType: This (oz180) 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/Stinson_Reliant
    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.

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.
