Outerzone is a listing of free vintage and
old-timer flying model aircraft plans to download. The listing
is free for everyone - you don't need to register or log in
to download plans. Just start by... well, looking around and
clicking on the 'download' links.
You can view model plans by category tag (like say free flight,
control line, radio control, scale, rubber, etc...) using
the browse plans pages.
Use the list all page for a full
A-Z text listing. There is a simple keyword search on the
search page (also above). We
have an advanced search
page for extra fun. There is also an experimental area called
the TagMatrix where
you view all the plans that match your own chosen combination
of tags (and wingspan).
Or, just for a quick visual fix, you can page through the
latest plan thumbnails
added or the latest model
pics added, at 75 pics per page.
Outerzone was designed to be maintained and updated by volunteers
called Site admins who get involved
but (perhaps predictably) it hasn't ever really worked out
that way. So with the exception of a few good people who have
helped out here in the past (see below) at the moment it's
essentially just me. See the FAQ page
for more details on how this site works, and why.
Outerzone is also (I hope) a secure repository for vintage
model aircraft plans that may have historical significance.
Got feedback? Suggestions? email
me. Really, feedback is what we need most.

What is the difference between Outerzone and VinPlanDex?
Well...
VinPlanDex is is an exhaustive and complete
index of every plan that has ever been posted on the Vintage
& Old-Timer Plans thread.
In comparison Outerzone is a slightly random
collection of plans in PDF format. Outerzone does not include
all the plans posted on the Vintage & Old-Timer Plans
thread. At a guess, only about 80%. Some plans on here are
not from that thread. Also, some are direct submissions.
