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 (oz3116) 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/Druine_Turbulent
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.

Completed mine yesterday night in time for a 'Build Off' in RC Groups. Finish is poor as dope blushed. Can't do another coat as as humidity is over 90%. Attaching two photo (one with wheels removed for test flying in the drawing room!) [more pics 004, 005].KK_Iyer_India - 10/07/2018
Hi Mary, A couple of pics of some more lockdown projects. First one is a Druine Turbulent, a Walt Mooney peanut which I scaled up 50% [main pic, 007] as my building skills don't stretch to peanut stuff and I have a surplus of 6" props!

Attached are a few photos of my Walt Mooney Druine Turbulent [pics 008-010]. This one has been scaled down from the original 15" span to 13" peanut scale. All ready to test fly. Weighs 9.9 grams sans rubber.

My failed attempt: The fuselage is curved on planform where the wings will butt-join, and yet the root ribs are shown straight on the plan. I failed in my attempt to "improve", by making curved root ribs when building up the two panels. Only one wing panel fits ok. I had to fill the gap in the other panel's root rib. The wing/fuselage joints are weak.

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.
