wooo! ist big, big! thanzs! i guees ist possible reducction of the plane for adaptation to engine 91.....

Yes you can, and I've seen a couple people do just that. The kit is 1/4 scale and you would need to bring it down to 1/5 scale. If you have a drafting background and is good in math and making patterns, then you could do it that way. Or, you could have someone copy the plans and shrink it down to 1/5 scale. Many ways to do it.

If you were to bring it down to 1/6 scale then I think your engine might be too big for that scale. I have a 1995 O.S. FS .91 Surpass and I love that engine. It is powerful and quite light compared to the Saito of the same size in my opinion.


I plan on building the Fokker DVIII myself later on.
