Which 1/4 Scale WW1 Kit to Choose?

[Don Fry]

Outside the box, roof bars, Correx over wood frame boxes, strapped to the bars. That’s 2 or 3 quarter scale models on a fiesta. Fuel consumption, still less than a transit.

Balsa usa do an Eindecker 90 which presumably refers to 90FS its an 80 inch wingspan and alot of builders put 20cc DLe petrols in them which obviously doesnt sound right but fly very reliably. I have a half built one in the Ops Room which i must get finished.

I have that one with a Saito TS.90 twin four stroke, anything more than a 4 stroke 90 is silly.

Fokker D7, no rigging and they fly great. Or maybe a D8.

 

MR Camel flies great but mine had very tricky ground handling (it was 3rd hand)

hi payneib,  Check out your bank balance before you proceed, but Arizona modelaircrafters do some wonderful WW1 kits. Also Proctors, also in the US are worth a look at

My BUSA Fokker D8 is for sale at Inwood Models . 4 bolts to hold the wings on and you are ready to fly.

Model  just needs an engine

I went with the Mick Reeves kit - you only turn 40 once, so I might as well treat myself to the real deal. I am turning in to a bit of a lot hoarder, with more disposable income than time to build and/or fly, but it's a beautiful kit. I might need a bigger build board for this job!
