Scalenut, I have several friends that love this kit.. How does it stack up against the other Balsa USA WW1 birds? Does it stand out or fly better or maybe marginal? I haven't heard any comparisons from people yet. I hope it flies like the D7 .... because to me thats about as nice as any WW1 is going to fly.
I wouldn't be the best for answering that question. I have never flown any of the other BUSA kits but I can say that so far the Albatros seems straight forward and docile. I am learning with each flight what the prop drive is capable of and I think there is more vertical in her than I have nibbled at so far. If that is the case then I would highly recommend this combination to anyone that likes the Albatros. Control response is positive but not sensitive. She is very stable and easy to fly. I am on the heavy side at 48 lbs so compared to Dick Pettit's at 34 lbs I am sure there is a world of difference in how they fly. He has the straight drive DLE 85 in his.
