I'm building this kit & I'm at the point of mounting the motor. My question is that this plane seems to have alot of down & right thrust built in, is it really necessary?.

Marcol

Yes it is. Also make sure you follow the plan when mounting the Horizontal stabiliser. I think it's about 3 or 4 degrees +.

Just follow the instructions to the letter and you will have the best flying WW1 model .

I have had mine for 6 years now, powered by a Laser 80, it really is a great aircraft. More of WW1 Pitts than a slow lumbering biplane.

If you need any more info , just ask.

I'm almost finished with the build. I'm building the upper wing now & wanted to know if anyone used the covering as the hinge for the ailerons?. I don't like the idea of using covering for the hinge. What did you guys do?. Thanks

Marcol

Yes as I said, built mine exactly as per plan including using the covering as hinges on the ailerons.

Try it , it works great. I covered the ailerons first. Then attached them to the wing with a strip of Solartex, top and bottom. Then finish covering the wing.

Sorry I don't have any photo's but I think it's covered in the instructions.

Thanks. So you attached the aileron to the wing first then covered the wing. OK I'll give it a try.
