There was no article
accompanying this picture and 5-view drawings of Canada's de Havilland DHC-3 Otter.
There is a nice in-air photo of an Otter sporting a really weird set of floats that look
like they're too small and mounted backwards, and there are two highly detailed 5-view
drawings. Versions are shown with standard wheels, with floats (normal looking ones),
and with snow skis. Per Wikipedia, "The
DHC-3/CSR-123 Otter was used until 1980 by the Royal Canadian Air
Force and its successor, the Air Command of the Canadian Forces. It was used in Search
and Rescue, as the "CSR" denotes Canadian Search and Rescue. The engine is a Pratt &
Whitney R-1340 (1,340 cubic inches) geared engine. The version used in the Otter was
geared for lower prop revs and consequently lower airspeed."

Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a
full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They
will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because
my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing
plans also help to support the operation of the
Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1
advocate for model aviation throughout the world. If the AMA no longer has this
plan on file, I will be glad to send you my higher resolution version.
