Cessna C-106 Loadmaster (oz2976)
About this Plan
Cessna C-106 Loadmaster. Twin rubber scale model prototype 1940s military transport, by Dave Stott.
The subject C-106 (or P260) never went into production due to a wartime shortage of material (plywood) so only 2 demonstrator aircraft were built.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
SteveBlanchard mailed in to say: "I was just doing my usual sifting through and downloading when I saw one of Dave's plans loaded, one that I had built. I clicked on it and I saw that the picture is actually of my model [pic 005]. It was built from these plan blown up to 30" and flies with two 6" peck props. I am quite flattered that the picture of my model was used. Thanks"
Corrections?
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 (oz2976) 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/Cessna_C-106_Loadmaster
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.

User comments
My model pictured [main pic, 003, 004] is from the Dave Stott plan and has contra-rotating props. Also, some unknown history on the 1943 Cessna C-106 Cargo Planes. Enclosed are pics of the 2 airplanes built by Cessna Experimental for the Canadian Air Transport Div in 1943 [006, 007]. Note that they used design and some parts from the AT-17 Bobcat known commonly as the “Bamboo Bomber”. Canada decided they already had enough aircraft to do the job and declined the work to continue. The 2 prototypes were bulldozed. One used the 600 hp P&W R-1340 engine as used in the North American AT-6. The other used a geared GR-1340 that allowed use of a 3 bladed prop. The 4 men shown in the picture [007] were responsible for the project and went on to become long time employees at Cessna except for the man in the ball cap who was the well liked Cessna test pilot Carl Winsted who died in the crash of the 1st prototype model 195 when the windshield failed in testing in 1945. The man on the far right is my father W.L. Schmidt.Bill Schmidt - 02/06/2021
Models always seem to build, look and fly better when one has some direct connection to them. Thank you to all Schmidts.

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.
