    ScaleType: This (oz8716) 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/Farman_F.170_Jabiru
    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 the elevator drawings?

Greetings, There’s a separation line shown on the stabilizer, in the top view. The plan calls out that the elevator may be hinged separately.
Let’s be careful out there.

Hi James, the port and starboard halves of the stabilizer are different, port has a separate elevator for trim adjustment but I suppose you could use both.
Considering there are differences in plan quality to me this goes on the higher shelves. This plan was carefully hand drawn and inked, and all the formal lettering was patiently inked letter after letter using more than one template size, I'd say four. Thank you Mr. Stott.
This is the Farman F.170 Jabiru, the less 'aesthetically disturbing' - to be polite :-) Other versions can provide a sharper challenge for your senses, see the F.120 Jabiru family with their engine variations, the Art Deco look.
Of course these are not Griffon Spitfires, they are ugly all right (depending on tastes) but bear in mind the Ugly Duckling story.

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.
