Balsa USA Fokker DR1 kit ???
Does anyone know if BUSA changed the DR1 kit from the earlier days ('80's or so) I have been following the "Balsa USA Fokker DR1 1/4 scale"thread by Anthony since it started, and I have (someone else built) what I was told to be a BUSA DR-1. But it is different then the one Anthony just built.Looks the same till you start to look how it built. It has a 70 1/2" aileron to aileron wing span.
Theres no ribcap strips, the leading edgesheeting is triangledcut, it has a 1/32 plywoodcover over the center wing to cover the bolts, and the cabanes are different, the ailerons are sheet wood with ribs onit,the wing tips are flat to the bottom of wing, the landing gear mounts to the fuse nose and the lower wing, the cowl is made with the center recessed with rivets around it the like the real one, and has a step aroundwhere it meets the fuse.
I sold it after having it 25 yrs, and I wish I never did. The guy I sold it to rekited it (crashed) and I now getting it back from him, and need the plans to remake some of the parts.
Heres some pictures of it, just before I sold it, and one after!.
