Default RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!

The German Fokker D-VII was one of my favorite airplanes of the "Great War". There are so many different color scheme to choose from for a scale project. There are several books that have the history of the pilots and their own color scheme. I elected to do my Balsa USA 1/4 scale D-VII after Oblt. Erich Lowenhardt's Fok D-VII, he was the 3rd highest scoring German Ace in WW I. The Balsa USA 1/4 scale Fok D-VII is the best flying RC airplane I have had in over 30 year of flying RC airplanes. My yellow D-VII won several awards at different events during the 2009/2010 season. The beginning of the 2011 season I attended an event and was one of the first in the air, this was just a week before "War Birds Over Texas". Well on the first flight I lost it in the morning sun, the crash was a total loss. I knew I would build another D-VII. Here are the picture of Obt. Erich Lowenhardt's Fok D VII, his yellow fuselage Fok D-VII was hard to miss,
