1/4 scale Balsa USA Italian Nieuport 17
 

Well, after a year of planning, building and fiddling. My commissioned airplane is now in my hands and flying.
Balsa USA 1/4 Scale Nieuport 17.
TriColour scheme.

Still working on some videos of it but here are some pics from earlier this year during the build and the last pics with the different prop and dummy engine are from my first flights. It flies like a dream (for a WWI Bipe).

Very nice plane and flying skills. Motor sound just doesn't fit the look of the plane if you know what I mean. I am green with envy. Not trying to take anything  away from this nice plane, just seems off watching and hearing the same engine sound from my p-47. :)<div>

A single cylindar in a P47 won't sound like full scale either :)

New video and this time the cameraman was not drinking.

If you wanna be envious, look at this guy's multi cylindar Corsair (make sure you watch the end)

Anyone know what wires I need to order to redo the wing wires? I need the cable and the little crimp tubes.
I had a wheel fall off on landing last fall and the wires stretched and pulled out.

Hi,
what about the motor?
