Luscombe Silvaire (oz4419)
About this Plan
Luscombe Silvaire. Sport scale model for 4 function radio control and .40 -.53 cu.in. motors.
Quote:- "My first encounter with the Silvaire was as a schoolboy in the mid 1950s, staring through the window of my local model shop, at a Keil Kraft 40in span free flight Luscombe Silvaire (oz3943) kit model. It was duly bought, built, flown and, eventually, broken. But the memory and enjoyment of that model has stayed with me over then years until, in 1994. I decided to ressurect it in a new and larger form for radio control, resulting in the subject of this Master Plan feature.
From the very first flight, the prototype behaved impeccably, with no 'trim' modifications needed. It is stable, realistic in flight and well within the abilities of a 'pilot' just emerged from the learner stage. With experience, it is capable of some scalish aerobatics such as wing-overs, stall turns, flat turns, side slips, barrel rolls, loops and spins. The prototype remains undamaged in nearly three years of flying and is one of the models I often select for a really pleasant Sunday outing at the flying field. I sincerely hope it gives you as much fun as it has me.
Building from plans can be quite daunting if you are unfamiliar with this type of model construction and so these instructions have been written to lead you through the process step-by-step as clearly as possible. I hope it will help you enjoy the 'building' as much as the flying..."

ScaleType: This (oz4419) 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/Luscombe_8
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.
