Status: offline 		I acquired the Orline Fokker DVII a while ago and what I've found so far is good. Kit was boxed in a small town (just happened to be my home town) Brooks, Oregon back in the early 80's I believe, maybe even earlier. The wood is of good quality and is very straight considering how old it is. Plans are put together clear and concise. If you want to copy the plans though it will be tough. The widest copier I can find is 36 inches, and the plans are 42 inches by 72 inches. It can be done in sections with the right copier. The plastic parts are true and clean, though a bit heavy. It also comes with stick on Maltese crosses, but don't rely on them to be in good condition after all these years. Directions are simple and look as if they were hand typed. Not very many pictures. All considered, if you have any building skills it won't be hard to put together. She will eat up some covering though with a 72 inche double wing. There is a thread on here where I laid out the planes dimensions, just look for Fokker D7 in the post. Any more questions let me know.

Mike

Status: offline 		I was asked about copying my plans... not a possibility. Would have to color scan ($90) then print in B&W for printing cost. If you have some other ideas... let me know. I could find no one who could copy larger than 36 inches as mentioned in a previous post.

Status: offline 		Hey Dick,

I see you are back in the market for those D-7 plans. You and I had talked awhile back about getting a copy of mine. I have since found a blueprint service here locally to copy mine. I have already sent a copy to some one else on here and he says they are perfect. I made a second copy since it was such a pain to do. Cost for the plans and shipping should be less than $23. Let me have you address and I will check with the post office. I can also get a 42" mail tube so they wont be folded if you want.

Mike

Status: offline 		Dick,

Well my house in Pensacola did not fare as well as yours. I sent you an email long time ago asking whether you wanted the assembly manual along with the plans and the 42" mail tube as well. Or did you want me to just copy the two sheets fold them and mail them? Need to know so that I can check with the postal office to see what the final cost is. Also how do you want it mailed, 1st class, two day, book rate?

Mike
