    ScaleType: This (oz754) 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/Republic_P-47_Thunderbolt
    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.

Perhaps you can help me find out if the Larry Eisinger who designed several gas models in the late 1930s is the same Larry Eisinger who is often cited as responsible for the 'Do It Yourself' craze of making things. I suspect he is, but I have seen no documentation. The Larry Eisinger of 'do it yourself' fame died a couple of years ago. His 92nd (?) birthday in the state of Vermont is documented in a clip on YouTube. If you can help me, please direct me to written evidence, or better refer me to surviving relatives. Thank you.

Yes it is the same Larry Eisinger, the father of the U.S.A. Fawcett publication on do it yourself, about practically everything. He designed the most beautifull and elegant Oldtimer plane called the Duchess, of which there is on OZ the Italianized version, the Il Duca. The boy depicted on the Il Duca article is Larry [more pics 003]. Larry is a legend for American editors, an example of self made man and probably best known as editor rather than modeller.

I know he was an editor with Fawcett Publications, and I believe he is credited with 40 or 50 books. His aircraft were lovely designs, and I intend to make or have someone make his Streamliner which is sort of the peak in some respects, and doing that period. Take a look on Youtube for a glimpse of his personality, if it is the Larry E. I seek! Thank you for your effort and reply,

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.
