Druine Turbulent (oz9457)
About this Plan
Druine Turbulent. Sport scale model for .20 to .35 engines and 3 or 4 channels.
Quote: "A 50in span sport-scale model for .20 to .35 engines and 3 or 4 channels, designed by DON UNDERWOOD.
I must be much more careful at these Club bring and buy nights! What a bargain I thought - a brand new Irvine 20 motor at a give away price - who could resist? It was only when I got home and was sitting there admiring this tiny gem that my sense returned: what was I going to put it in? Most of the models I make are fairly hefty ones, a fair proportion being WWI biplanes, with engines ranging between .40 to .90 cu in. Apart from a few powered gliders, I have had very little experience of small motors. After much cogitating I decided on something completely different - a small low-winger, and what better than a Druine Turbulent? There is something about Turbulents that appeals to most aeromodellers - they are all home-built, and they are made in exactly the same way as we build our models. An added bonus is that as there are so many about, you don't have to go very far to find one to glean extra details. Further, as there doesn't seem to be two alike, you have a great variety of colour schemes to choose from! As it turned out, it was a good choice: my Turbulent proved to be a real delight - the Irvine 20 flew it in a most scale-like way, but to be really honest it was just a touch marginal. An engine with a bit more power transformed it into quite an aerobatic little beauty. It is quite possible to fly the Turbulent on three channels, but only if you fix the rudder and use only the ailerons for turning..."

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 (oz9457) 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/Druine_Turbulent
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.
