More pics eh
Alright heres one of my Flair Fokker DVII at the field and a screenshot of a Fokker repaint and mod from Hans Worner, Rodeo, and D. Cooper that works in AeroFLy Pro Deluxe fight simulator. I know I had a lot of hours in it just repainting a modifing it. I'm sure these other guys had even more time invested in it. Flies just like my Flair Fokker. Anyone who wants to try the air plane drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to you.

WoW!! Very nice covering!! Your maiden was successful mine not so nice. I believe CG is not completly correct. Fokker went straight up and over. I just finished repairs. The nose was completly off. Struts and cabanes took it off. I really like your plane. GREAT WORK RITTMEISTER

Rit,
covering is black baron simulated fabric....I would estimate the 20 percent of the total weight of the plane is lead ballast in the front end....you gotta do what you gotta do... JW

I ran across this post and just thought I'd pass along a bit of information. Check out Arizona Model Aircrafters web page. They have the lozenge fabric in Solartex and different scales.
