Vought Sikorsky OS2U-1 (oz8834)
About this Plan
Vought Sikorsky OS2U-1 Kingfisher. Rubber scale model of the US Navy observation plane.
Quote: "And so to our model. We present plans for both the land and sea version, so you can take your choice. Because it's lighter the land version will perform better. On the other hand, there's something about the lines of a seaplane that gets you. So make up your mind. We chose the seaplane.
Wing. In either case, the first part to make is the wing, as its center section is used as a jig for the fuselage. Make the wing in one =piece, as shown on the plan. Tipes are 1/16 square bamboo. The bamboo can be asily bent by holding it in the lighted end of a cigarette. Thestrut braces are 1/16 square balsa. Gove the wing an inch dihedral under each tip and cement all joints firlmy.
Fuselage. Cut two halves of each former from 1/16 sheet balsa and cement the halves together, with athin splint of balsa or bamboo across the joint... "

ScaleType: This (oz8834) 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/Vought_OS2U_Kingfisher
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.
