P-51B Mustang (oz2933)
About this Plan
P-51B Mustang. Free flight scale rubber model. Scale is 1/24. This plan is from the book 'Flying Scale Models of WWII' from Model Builder magazine.
Quote: "The model presents a fine appearance on the ground and in the air. Flights exceed a minute's duration quite easily and show fair stability. Being a short-coupled low-winger, there is not a lot of inherent stability. The stabilizer was enlarged, dihedral increased, and the balance point brought well forward for additional stability. All flights have been outdoors, under breezy conditions. For good duration, keep the model light by using medium grade balsa, thin stringers, built up wheels- and thin coats of dope. Ours weighs just over three quarters of an ounce empty. Pre-bend the stringers so that they conform to the fuselage curves. They will then slip into place without warping the rest of the fuselage. Do not notch the formers or ribs until they are in position on the fuselage and wing. Sight along spar and stringer marks when notching so that errors in their positions can be corrected. Considerable care was used in drawing the parts, but it is very difficult to trace, cut out, and glue such parts into position without some deviations. The formers are drawn slightly oversize to allow for some corrections..."
Thanks to OneCut for help on this.
Note: this was a direct submission to Outerzone (maybe a year ago) and sorry but for the life of me I can't remember who scanned and emailed me this one in, please let me know so I can add the credit.

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz2933) 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/North_American_P-51_Mustang
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.
