Spitfire IX (oz7811)
About this Plan
Spitfire IX. Radio control standoff scale model WWII fighter. Wingspan 65in, wing area 714 sq in, for 4 to 6 channel radios and .40 to .60 power.
The box mentions "complete, accurate decals for Johnny Johnson's Mk 9" but worth noting that the plan will also allow construction of other variants - it shows two different wingtip shapes, two tail fin outlines, also second sheet shows alternate late-model bubble canopy version of fuselage.
Note there are no wing rib patterns shown.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Update 09/08/2017: Added construction manual (inc rib patterns), thanks to milt55.

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?

ScaleType: This (oz7811) 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/Supermarine_Spitfire
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

Hi Steve. I think this Spitfire was designed by Dave Platt when he started his kitting concern way back in 1973 in Florida USA. He then sold his company to Mort (Not Jon) Tanger who changed the company's name to Pica. I may be wrong but I'm almost sure I'm not! Cheers!Eduardo - 21/06/2016
Good morning. I am hoping (against hope) that you will be able to assist me! I started building this kit years ago and having recently retired I now have the time to complete the project. I have the plans but cannot find the instruction manual anywhere. Is there any chance that you have this in your archives or advise where I might be able to obtain a copy? I have hunted high and low but to no avail. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and regards.

Many thanks Milt (and Scratchie, the forum member who scanned the manual). I've added it as a supplementary file.

Hi Steve and Mary, Here is a photo [main pic] of a Spitfire IX from the Pica kit built by my late uncle Jack (Jacques Lebeau). He was the person who infected me with the virus of aeromodelling. I made a tribute to him on my website: http://avonds.com/Uncle%20Jack.htm
Best regards,

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.
