Dewoitine D-510 (oz8610)
About this Plan
Dewoitine D-510. Scale model for radio control.
Quote: "The Dewoitine 500 series was designed in 1930 to replace the line fighter of the French Army, the Nieuport-Delage D.62. It, and the Morane MS 230 fighter were parasol wing airplanes, restricted by drag and lower powered engines. The Hispano-Suiza 875 hp. engine was designed into the Dewoitine. Originally it swung a large two bladed wooden propeller (500 series) but the 510 modification of 1933 had a three bladed metal prop. The plane was of all metal construction, including the wing which had full span ailerons! The 500 series had two cowl machine guns, but was modified later to a pair of wing guns and a cannon firing through the prop hub spinner. The airplane flew well and was liked by its pilots, but by the time war came in 1939 it was obsolete and used only as a trainer. The D-510 series was built from 1933-36. There were about 230 production aircraft built. To my knowledge none are in existence today. Sadly, not even the Musee de l'air in Paris has much information. No cockpit photos can be found.
The model you see on these pages has been a winner from the beginning. It won the New England Regional Stand-Off Scale event in New York -both times getting 91 static points and the comment, "What is it?" At 7-1/2 Ibs it flies great. With a Webra Speed .61 or similar .60 engine it is off the ground in 20-30 feet (which is very unscale like). With all that aileron area axial rolls are easy. Just remember to hold 'up' elevator as you begin to takeoff and let the tail come up slowly. Feed the power in slowly as you accelerate, and you'll get beautiful smooth takeoffs. Anyone who can fly a pattern type aircraft will have no troubles in the air. The model is built to 1.75in = 1ft scale and has no intentional deviations from scale. (Some sneak in when you aren't looking.)"

ScaleType: This (oz8610) 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/Dewoitine_D.500
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.
