Tiger Moth (oz779)
About this Plan
Tiger Moth. Free flight scale model biplane , for rubber power. Wingspan 18 in.
Quote: "BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS: This series of VERON Flying Scale Models of popular and world-famous planes are the essence of simplicity and make ideal beginners' models, giving initial experience in construction and assembly. You need only a VERON Balsa Knife, balsa cement, small half-inch pins (called 'Lillipins' in the shops) and a pair of small round-nose or side-cutting pliers, thread and fine garnet paper. A tube of tissue paste, a small jar of shrinking dope and a soft brush will complete your requirements.
Study the plan carefully and identify all the parts on the printed sheets of balsa. Familiarize yourself with the sequence and method of construction. Cut out all the balsa parts, taking great care when cutting out the 1/16 notches in the formers. Cover the plan with waxed or greaseproof paper and pin both to a flat building board. The fuselage is built by constructing two lower sides of 1/16 spare balsa directly over the plan, these being then joined by two basic formers. This system of construction by inserting formers of a pre-determined width obviates the necessity for a fuselage top view, as the alignment can be checked by sighting along the fuselage. Wings and tailplane are similarly constructed over the plan on the flat.
FUSELAGE: Pin the lower member K1 in place directly over the plan, then build up one complete side of 1/16 sq balsa as in diagram 1, inserting stern gusset K2 and dowel securing plate K3. Make neat joints, double coating with cement, the first coat being allowed to dry into the wood before applying the second. Secure all struts in place with pins either side of the wood, never through it. When quite set, move from the building board and build a second identical side..."

ScaleType: This (oz779) 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.

Attached a picture of a Veron Tigermoth that I just finished using the Outerzone plan shrunk to 13"span [more pics 003]. Built mainly for me to learn how to trim peanut size models. Fingers crossed it flies! Thanks for the plan.AMaxfield - 21/01/2019
I have flown it once so far and I am learning how to trim peanut size models on a harsh gym floor. But it did survive and and need to do work on the CG and power delivery. Every day is a school day!

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.
