RE: First Build - help me pick the kit
Ah, some of those are worth considering.
I was all excited about the Camel until I saw its size and price.
The F. DVII is three channel. Its very small, since they use a thin covering in their photos you can get an idea for how the model is constructed. Definitely a stick affair. No sheeting.
The F. DR1 might be fun to build up, cover, paint and have at the office. Not sure I'd ever want to try to fly a DR1, hehe... or the tri-wing camel they have there.
I'm definitely having fun looking around the site. I obviously can't get too ambitious. I've got that ZeroG Pitts Python and now the little Herr kit in the mail on its way. I'll certainly be referencing this thread once I get those two built, though.
