Farman Mosquito (oz6398)
About this Plan
Farman Mosquito. Simple rubber scale model by Walt Mooney.
Quote: "Hard to explain - but easy to understand the hold that rubber powered flying scale models has on our hobby. Nothing can match the satisfaction of watching these quiet birds in flight. Farman Mosquito, by Walt Mooney.
In the early 1920's the French Farman concern built this little light plane that lends itself well to being built as a very simple rubber powered scale model. The original model flew with but a single adjustment from the way it is drawn up. It needed about an eighth of an inch of down elevator.
The model is so simple that in general it can be built by following the plans alone. so only a few specific items will be described. Make sure the balsa you use is as light as you can get. Go easy on the finish to keep the weight down. Mine had a single spray coat of silver and used india ink for the trim.
Cut out all the parts from one sixteenths sheet balsa. The nose block and the engine crankcase can be laminated from several sheets as can the motor cylinders..."

ScaleType: This (oz6398) 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/Farman_Moustique
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.
