About this Plan

Stinson Voyager. Rubber scale model.

Quote: "This craft is not only a fine performer in the air, but it also makes a beautiful exhibition job. Stinson Voyager, by Jerome Jacobs. Plans by Harry Appel.

THE NEW 1941 Stinson Voyager (complete details and specifications on page 41) is a top-notch performer - and that also goes for our model presentation this month. The rubber-powered craft is, but for the enlargement of the tail surfaces and propeller, a true flying-scale job in every respect.

It will be well to call to the attention of the prospective builder that, if longer flights and additional power are desired, the landing gear - which has been found to suffice for the size craft shown in the plans - should be made a little longer so that a larger prop may be used.

The squat little model weighs but a scant 1.27 ounces. Construction is simple but well planned. It is suggested that to save the landing gear from early repairs, as is the fate that befalls most scale model landing gears, the use be made of small rubber tired wheels instead of hard wood or celluloid.

Fuselage Construction. Longerons, cross braces, and upright members used in the fuselage construction are cut lengths of 1/16 square hard balsa. Build one side of the frame at a time and upon completion join both sides with cross braces as indicated by their positions in the top view of the fuselage.

The cabin structure, depicted clearly in perspective view on Plate 4 is built up of 1/16 in square hard balsa pieces in the manner shown. Note from the top view plan that the sides of the cabin slant inward. Cross members B and C are cut from 1/16 in sheet and cemented in position. Directly behind C, top fuselage, former T-1 is cemented and followed inclusively down to former T-6. However, before mounting all formers above and below, be sure that the notches are cut accurately to accommodate 1/16 sq stringers..."

    ScaleType: This (oz5427) 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/Stinson_Voyager
    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.
