Hey Guy's, I've been eye balling the GP DR-I and Global D-VII. Need a WWI bird for the collection. Which of the two has better flight characteristics and which would be more forgiving on take off? I'm kind of leaning towards the D-VII, but if the DR-I flies better I'd get that one instead.

I mostly fly Electric and just started flying nitro. The nitro planes I have now are TT Lazy tiger w/ .42, GP shoestring w/.61 and a Ace/TT Seamaster w/.52 4-stroke. I have no problems with take off/flying them. Chose those 3 from reading the good posts here on RCU. But couldn't find any comparing The DR and DV. Oh, would both planes be ok with a .80 4-stroke? I have one waiting for a plane.

Thanks in advance, Glenn

in this case wind is your enemy!, the more wings the more it affects your flight. Take that in consideration when choosing between these two. If you fly early inthe morning @no or almost no wind try the tri, the remarks from any GP plane are always high.
