About this Plan

Stearman-Hammond. Rubber scale pusher model.

Quote: "The Stearman-Hammond as a Model, by Paul W Lindberg.

MANY requests have poured in for a rubber-powered model that was constructed somewhat different than the ordinary run of models. Our choice, naturally, was the Stearman Hammond which we believe will give you many enjoyable hours, both in building and flying. This model is so constructed that it may be used both as a display model for mantel pieces or as a flying model.

It was necessary to install two wire clips on top of fuselage to receive a motor stick which carries the rubber bands that propel this model, A 10-inch motor stick is recommended although longer ones may be substituted in order to have longer flights. Plans shown are one half size although templates for ribs, formers, etc are shown in full size.

Construction of Fuselage. Main longerons of the body are con-structed from Tig square balsa. These are placed on the plan with a sheet of wax paper between it to keep frame-work from adhering to plan when the cement has been applied. After the two sides have been built remove and place in an upright position on top view of plan. The cross members are now ce-mented into position to form a rec-tangular shape.

From 1/32 inch sheet balsa. cut the formers to outline shape and cement in
their respective positions. The nose block is now shaped and cemented to front of rectangular fuselage, so that the stringers may be applied. The position of the stringer is clearly shown, Although we advise you to check from front to rear in applying these so that you might secure the proper alignment. Stiff paper is used to form the cockpit..."

Quote: "...from the March/April 2002 Flying Aces Club News. (204-130). The Stearman-Hammond, originally published in the June, 1938 Popular Aviation... There isn't a lot of room for the prop in its scale location, so the designer just put a motorstick on the roof! The plan came from Lin Reichel's files."

    ScaleType: This (oz4223) 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/Stearman-Hammond_Y-1
    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.
