My two bobs worth...

In the 1/4 scale version a three piece wing with plug in bottom wings please. 96.5" is far too long for a single piece wing.

Also ensure the model is quick to assemble. Nothing worse than arriving at the flying field and having to spend half an hour putting your model together. Models like that tend to stay home in the hanger.

Hey Graeme, yes three piece top wing and plug in bottoms.. not many wires so field set up should be minimal...

Don't quite understand not having the patience to put a very scale model together at the field for flying......unless you just want to fly a "semi scale" model.
My SE5 takes about a half hour to get ready, but it's only for competitions and not your weekend warrior !

It is possible to have the best of both worlds. By making minimal concessions, you can get a model together in under 15 minutes. 

I find planes that take an hour to put together and take down don't see much flying.

Thats the one true advantage of the smaller 1/4 WW1 planes.. they will JUST fit into a full size panel van in one piece... If you have enough room in the garage you can leave them together all summer.

I hope I get to see this plane in 1/3 at Owatonna this summer.. But that doesn't leave much time to build one !  hint,hint guys from Oklahoma...   ;)

Tony, I did look up the scheme and find it was the pilot of my first WW1 build.. Max Holtzem..

Do you have an interesting story for us?   :)


Sorry to not reply for a bit. Doc S (Marc Shelstrom) answered this one I believe. He mentioned my thread on The Aerodrome. I lost my mind a while back. I am reverse engineering a 1:1 scale DIIIa   Brings true meaning of go big or go home

Best Regards,

Tony

PS Barry, If I were not doing a 1:1, I would buy one of your kits. Nice job!

Thanks Richard I think 1 to 1 sometimes is easier. The parts are bigger!

Barry has a great kit. I don't think anyone will be disappointed. If I weren't doing a 1 to 1, I'd get his kit. I might still. It builds faster! I am definitely lurking
