About this Plan

Stinson Senior Trainer Model O. Rubber scale model of the 1930s 2-seat parasol monoplane. Originally published in October 1937 MAN, this is a later reprint from MB.

Quote: "This little 20-inch span rubber scale model has been a favorite of this writer ever since it first appeared in the October 1937 issue of the vintage MAN. The construction article and plans mere credited to Jesse Davidson and Harry Appel.

The Stinson Senior Trainer, model V was an open-cockpit, two-seater version of the 1935 Stinson Reliant, according to the article. The 225 hp Lycoming engine-powered aircraft was primarily sold to several South American countries, and as such, very little is known about the aircraft.

An R/C version of this model was seen at the WRAM trade show in White Plains, New York, a few years ago. As the original spanned one inch short of 40 feet, we estimate the model as having been about 1-1/2inch scale.

Plans were originally published full-size on five pages of the magazine. We velox-copied all five sheets and put them all together on one sheet, for convenience of the builder. The drawings are quite clear, complete, and self-explanatory to an experienced scratch builder. Send us a photo of yours when it's finished."

    ScaleType: This (oz186) 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_Model_O
    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.
