I never get tired of seeing your SE5a, Teus! And the Strutter photo moves me to get back into my Strutter build! Here's your SE5a's "sister ship." :D

RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!
 

1/3 BUSA D-VII, (FOR SALE) powered with ZDZ-80RV and 1/3 Siemans SSW D-III of our design, (twin brother and I). CAD plans and laser cut short kits avaible in several months.

Abufletcher, Thanks for helping. I was not sure about the flag either, thats why I tried the translator. I at least got a good chuckle out of it.

Winterhawke, I guess I will just have to join your group at the dawn patrols and fly under your flags!:D

But I did not want to side track a good thread, so please keep the great pictures comming. Here is my first DVII that I had a mid air with.

And my Fokker V. 11 skinned and ready to trim and detail. A phot of the full size, looks good to me so far.

RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!
 

you got a shot behind my pup in your 3rd pic!!

RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!
 

This was a big day for me to display my model with some many other 1/3 scale ww1 planes. I felt like Iwas at Rhienbeck aerodrome.

My newly acquired captured Sopwith Pup. "Black Tulip"

RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!
 

I was going to post a photo of my Newport 28, but I think Valley just posted it.

Seeing the triplane made me want a bigger one, so I'm goung with a half scale Driedecker

Rebel

Speaking of wanting a bigger Dreidecker, how about this 65%! Not mine , but I wish it was.

Here's my scratch-built BE 2c. It flew successfully all last summer and is ready for this coming season. It flies like a trainer. Beautiful!

RE: lets see your ww1 biplane!!
 

Love your BE2, what a beautiful build! I bet it looks sweet in the air. i am truly amazed by all the superb builds I have seen in this thread.

Old thread, new light :cool:

My Busa Pup, this season with smoke and two bombs to drop


http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2088331

1/6 scale BE2e bought from a bereavement sale though I am building one of my own! :o I'm making a few adjustments to make it easier to fly.

That looks really good Teus!
That's what I want on my pup when I get it finished! ..............."Smoke on! and Bombs away!"..............Very cool..

Cheers,
HPA

Thanks Paul,

Go for it, it's a very nice addition for the Pup. I used some simple HK bombs meant for 1/5th scale WW-2 birds, but they fit perfect for a 1/3rd WW-1 bird. On RCSB I have some more info and close up photos of the bombs.

Now need some fine weather to execute some more practice runs :cool:

GTM Fokker DVI with Glenns fabric.

Wow! Has she flown yet, Bob? What are using as a glow system?

Don,
Not flown yet. I took my time and broke the engine on a test stand. Now it runs well. I'm using the McDanials on board glow. It uses a 5000 mah. Battery.
Sorry about the picture quality.

When do you think it might take to the air? I've finally worked all the bugs out of my 770 installation (I think) but now have to repair a boo-boo that occurred when the model rolled off the workbench. Nothing major just a bit of crushed balsa on the underside of the fuselage and some torn film. The balsa has already been repaired and I'm just waiting for a roll of cream colored Oracover to arrive.

Today I finally got my SE5a back into the sky! Wahoo!

Here's my 1/4 scale Nieuport 17 flying last year, and at Toledo this year, (3rd place Designer Scale) after weathering and added detail. Power was a Tacon 110 ans 6S2P 4700 Rhino lipos. Weight 14lb.

Looking at WWI just never gets old! I love'em all!

Don, not sure when I'll get to do the Maiden. Spring here has been cold and windy with lots of rain :(

Sweet! Very smartly done color scheme. What are the specs on your DVII?

Thanks, its a BUSA 1/3 scale. I sold it to Paul aka Horsepoweraviation last summer, he had Jim Suchy finish painting the wings and they had to do the final assembly. It is one of the feature planes on the SKS video Mid-Atlantic Dawn Patrol 2014.

Bob is too humble. This aircraft is a master piece. The front has appropriate metal panels, with punched louvers and operating access doors, all in the correct place. Hand made Fokker Nuts, hinges and latches. A hand crafted Mercedes engine with the DA85 exhaust tied into the scale exhaust. and much more. This is one very fine model.

Thanks Steve for the kind remarks. I would like to see a picture of your DVII on here!

I'd like to hear/see more about how that scale functional exhaust was created.

I started by cutting the can muffler into and stacking them one on top of the other. The Mercedes exhaust is made from aluminum tubing, it has a short tube w/ flange welded to the bottom between cylinders 3 & 4 which connects to a flange on the muffler tube. Hopefully the pictures are better than words.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2091786http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2091787http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2091788
