Beechcraft D-17 Staggerwing (oz3784)
About this Plan
Beechcraft D-17 Staggerwing. Free flight rubber scale model. Scale is 1/16.
Note: Bill Galloway titled this plan as "Beechcraft D-17" so we will of course use the same title here. But the plan does include a note on 2nd page that makes mention of: "NC21934, a D-17S repurchased by Beechcraft in 1945 & re-engineered to G-17S".
Direct submission to Outerzone.

ScaleType: This (oz3784) 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/Beechcraft_Model_17_Staggerwing
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
Galloway identifies this plan as a Beech D-17, when it's in reality a G-17.anon - 27/05/2018
Right. The G17 has a larger rudder and flaps on engine cowling bottom. See attached supplement ("Famous Biplanes no 32: Beechcraft 17" by GA Cox) which includes G17 drawings showing the same airframe with same registration number as on the Galloway plan (NC21934). Probably Bill Galloway used these drawings as a source. After World War II, approximately 20 G17 models were built and sold new for $29,000. They were fitted with enclosed gear fairings, cowl flaps, a longer windshield and a larger vertical fin, and the engine was moved forward 12 inches.

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.
