Short Scion (oz9352)
About this Plan
Short Scion. Rubber power scale twin engined model. Uses 'Moore Drive' (Patent no 514974) to transfer power to the twin propellors through the wing centre section from the fuselage mounted motor.
Note: parts to assemble a working Moore Drive were advertised for sale in Jan 1944 Aeromodeller, by Super Scale Kits of Uppingham, Rutland, Kent. See morepics 003.
Update 12/12/2022: Added a pdf with some notes on the Moore Drive, thanks to Pit.

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz9352) 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/Short_Scion
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.

User comments
I saw the drawings for a Shorts Scion. Do you know perhaps, of the existence of any technical drawings which originated with the manufacturer?MJA - 01/03/2020

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.
