Would apreciate your Help! and ideas to find a suitable model to fly my nicely running ( in a test bench
) Seidel 7-70.
Ultimate end home for it would be a being build Proctor Eindecker III, but would like to gain air experience with him before it go's in to the Eindecker.
Help Please

Daniel, I've had similar thoughts. A 1/4 sport scale Pup might be the quickest way to get it flying in something that would approximate the experience in the EIII. Note that the 770 is WAY more engine than is needed on a 1/4 scale EIII so even though this is also WAY more engine than needed on a 1/4 Pup you'd learn a lot about how it flies a model (on minimal throttle).
You could go with one of the BUSA Pup kits. I bought the 1/5 scale Pup plans by Dave Boddington (based on the Replicraft plans) and had those enlarged to 1/4 scale. The DB plans are "scale on the outside" but "quick build" on the inside, so it shouldn't take too long to make one.
In terms of ARFs I don't know what to recommend. I suppose you could put it into some heavy metal warbird, but you'd be flying that very differently than you'd fly an EIII.
