Ilyushin IL-2 Stormovik (oz6630)
About this Plan
Ilyushin IL-2 Stormovik. Scale model for radio control.
Quote: "The Stormovik was as important to Russia as the Spitfire was to Great Britain and the Mustang was to America, yet the Stormovik is not well known in the West. Perhaps we modelers can do something about that.
As a scale model, the Stormovik has excellent moments. It has a high-lift airfoil, a long, slender fuselage, a huge tail, and short, wide-apart landing gear with big wheels. The full-size Stormovik was designed for rough-field operation and low-speed stability - just the qualities we seek in a scale subject.
It's odd that it is rarely seen in model form; the only other R/C design I know of is Bob Underwood's version which placed in the AMA Nats in the early 80s.
The Stormovik presented here was prepared by photo-enlarging the Aeromodeler/MAP drawings and filling in the structure. It is exact; no deviations from scale were permitted. If you use the Aeromodeler drawings for 'proof of scale' documentation and you follow the plans faithfully, you should receive a perfect score for 'accuracy of outline' in AMA scale contests. Only part of the Aeromodeler drawing is presented here; the complete drawing contains additional views and more detail.
The Profile publication number 88 is apparently derived from the same Aeromodeler drawing, so it is also excellent scale documentation plus it contains many color schemes.
Upgrading to Precision Scale or FAI scale is possible by adding more details. If you decide to build this airplane, you should first gather all scale documentation before cutting the first piece of wood (see the list of references on the plans). Then, wait for a cold Siberian night, put on your boots and babushka, and march down to your shop. Shove a tape of Shostikovitch's Leningrad Symphony into the stereo and toast a 'salut' to Mother Russia. Let's begin..."

Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz6630) 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/Ilyushin_Il-2
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.
Do you have a photo you'd like to submit for this page? Then email admin@outerzone.co.uk

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.
