fokker dv8 ?
 

Hi i need one kit of this plane . ist possible?

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

BUSA has a 1/4 scale kit. http://shop.balsausa.com/product_p/411.htm

I am not aware of an ARF version.

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

you will need a more powerful engine than your .91FS for that model.

Yes you will need at the lowest engine size a FS120, but you will need to add considerable nose weight to it. May I suggest a FS150 or higher. Most are using gas engines around 30cc.

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

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

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.

Very thanzs! ;)

He's looking for a 1/5 scale Fokker DVIII. The DVIII you linked him to is a ARF, but it is 1/3 scale it's way larger than BUSA's 1/4 scale Fokker DVIII. Plus he wants to use his glow 91FS and I highly doubt it would even have the power to move it on the ground neither the less get it up in the air. :eek:

Yes, oberst are you reason, i need for 91 4T , this ist a big big plane ,panhndl !

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

Doh, Tom mentioned ARF, not Top242. My mistake. I was just pointing out that there is an ARF, even if it is a big bird.

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

OK ;)

RE: fokker dv8 ?
 

Oh, my mistake as well. I forgot what Tom wrote. and had to read back. Duh, for me too. :D

I mentioned an ARF because this is the ARF forum. I thought that maybe the OP was looking for an ARF.
