About this Plan

Stinson Reliant. Rubber model. Air Trials plan to build a rubber powered free flight scale model of the Gull wing Stinson Reliant. Scale is 1/24.

Quote: "Gull-winged Reliant. Detailed plans for building a rugged flying model of the Stinson for 1937 - a realistic display model and an excellent flier.

THE 1937 Reliant is almost the same as the 1936 Reliant, with the exception of the changed cowl and rounded windshield. It is available in 5 models, depending upon motor and equipment required. In designing the model, the simplest design has been adhered to and )ret scale proportions have been maintained.

Fuselage. Select 4 fairly hard 1/16 sq strips for the main longerons. Include the 1/16 sheet wing mount in each primary frame, but leave off the stringers until the formers have been cemented into place. The primary frames start at #1 and end with the short tail posts. The round bulkhead is added, along with the 3/16" beams and the longitudinal braces. Sand the forward portion carefully to round off any protuberances and cover back to #2 with 1/32 sheet, and frame in the windows as shown. The 'bill' or extension over the cabin that the top of the windshield attaches to is carved and hollowed from a balsa block, since sheet balsa could not be bent perfectly enough..."

    ScaleType: This (oz182) 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.
