De Havilland Tiger Moth (oz5901)
About this Plan
DeHavilland Tiger Moth. Scale model biplane for RC and .60 to .90 size engines. Wing area 2247 sq in. Scale is 1/4.
Quote: "The De Havilland Tiger Moth was the most popular and most famous British training plane at WWII. The first flight of Toger Moth was 1931, and nearly 50 years later now some of surviving machines are flying as civil planes. The Pilot's big size kit is the 1/4 scale model of this famous biplane.
Fit features snap-lock construction plywood fuselage and neatly die-cut balsa wing ribs. Kit also features formed ABS plastic cowl, clear plastic windshields, hardware, colored scale stickers, detailed instrument panel, big full size plan and illustrated construction guide."
Update 14/09/2014: Replaced this plan with a clearer copy, shows full fuselage.

ScaleType: This (oz5901) 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/De_Havilland_Tiger_Moth
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.

Hi Steve, what a nice plan of the famous Tiggie by Japanese Ace Designer Y.Matsumoto. It is a pity that this kit is no longer available. Trauriges Smiley Weinendes Smiley. Best regards,Pascal - 14/09/2014
The model flies superbly on a 30 cc petrol having moved the firewall back 50mm to take the Pitts style silencer and carb through firewall. Very docile and has great scale presence in the air. I have a video to illustrate this on YouTube.

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.
