Morane Saulnier 406 (oz7698)
About this Plan
Morane Saulnier 406. Rubber scale model French WWII fighter.
Quote: "The Flying Scale Morane-Saulnier, by Robert C Hare.
SINCE THE EARLIEST days of military aviation the French firm of Morane-Saulnier has been famous for producing some of the most capable service machines on record. You will well remember that M-S machines played a very important part in World War I.
The model itself is quite simple to construct in spite of the fact that stringers, generously used to maintain scale contours, make the framework appear complicated.
Fuselage Construction. Make a fuselage jig by covering the plans with waxed paper. Place guide pins along the longeron outlines. Fit in 1/16 in square longerons and uprights, noting that the section between uprights B and D is filled with 1/16 sheet balsa in which 1/4 x 1 /8 mainspar slot has been cut. Make two sides in this manner.
When the sides have dried, cement the top and bottom cross-pieces in place and cement the 1/8 x 1/16 hard balsa sternpost in place. Cement and bind a #8 steel
wire rear hook as shown. Slide the center section mainspar in place and cement it well.
From 1/32 in sheet balsa, cut fourteen top and bottom fuselage formers and cement as shown on the plans. Attach the 1/64 in sheet cowl as shown following the shape carefully at the cockpit.
Top and bottom nose blocks are built of laminated 1/8 in sheet balsa sections cut out as illustrated in the plans. Save the cut-outs from the first and second sections as they are next cemented together to form the nose plug. Stringers, of 1/32 square balsa are next to be cut and cemented as shown. The framework of the cockpit enclosure is made of the same stock. Make a thrust bearing..."

ScaleType: This (oz7698) 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/Morane-Saulnier_M.S.406
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.
