    ScaleType: This (oz635) 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.

User comments

Do you know when this plan was first shown, maybe in Aero Modeller? Seems to be some confusion over the size of all the wing ribs and the plan width of the wings. No sizes are given for many of the LE, TE and spars. The rear spar looks to be too high to fit onto the ribs, and why are they notched?

I believe that AM published a larger [50 inch] version of Mr. Towner's design see: DH Tiger Moth (oz2662). I do not believe they published this one, of which I have an original dye line print. I have checked it against this scan and, apart from some distortion of the wing ribs in the scan, the scan matches the dimensions of the original. I think the spars are notched to interlock with the ribs, but I would agree that there is drafting error regarding the thickness of the rear wing spar. I have not built it, so I cannot comment on its airworthiness.

The 50" version was published in Aeromodeller in 1971. This version was sold via the Aeromodeller classified ads by "Authentic Scale" which was his daughter I believe.

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.
