About this Plan

Stinson Sentinel. Kit plan for Henry Struck's Flying Scale Nationals winning 33.5" span rubber powered scale model. Can be flown as rubber or IC, free flight or CL. The plan shows firewall layout for installation with Arden .099, Baby Spitfire, OK Cub engines.

Quote: "This model was originally designed for rubber power using a folding propeller. This type of model gives championship performance ...for free flight flying with small gas engines (up to .049), mount the engine as shown in sketch. Keep the model light and do not use too much power. For control line flying with engines from .045 to .099 the model must be strengthened by using sheet balsa on wing leading edge, heavier landing gear and filling in the fuselage structure with balsa sheet from the landing gear forward. Install the control system as shown..."

    ScaleType: This (oz187) 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_L-5_Sentinel
    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.

This was the first control line model I ever built circa 1960. I think I was a Freshman in High School at the time. Powered it with a Cox Thermal Hopper .049

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.
