THX Trumpy,

i will report about the process.
But it´s a kind of strange.
You build a plane without knowing if it will fly...
That´s the risk when you don´t buy a kit.

Hope to show you next pics in about two days...

Hi Folks!
I´m back again and ... YES, she´s ready! - nearly-


Of course, some details are still missing.
I will add the Spandau 08/15 MG, the compass on the right wing, the fuel tank cap behind the pilot seat and some airbrushing.
Oh, of course, yes she flies, if somebody wanna know...
But it has to be nearly windless. The weight over all is 232 gr.
And with a 720 mAh Lipo i can fly about 15 minutes.
Loops, turns and barrelrolls are possible but she is not the fastest one
in the sky More like a kite.
Hope to show you more details later...

Beautiful Job RB , Glad to hear she is also airworthy
Trumpy!
Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on e-Bay?
I put in a bid for a “Cowboy Outfit” and it seems I’m only six minutes away from owning the Australian Labor Government !

Hi Folks,
I´m back again. Hare are the latest and final pictures of the Fokker E III.
After some airbrush tests i tried to laquer the wing surface, the fuselage, the cowl etc.

Unfortunately i found no pilot in 1:10 with a very light weight. So i decided to built my own one... i made him out of styrofoam.
The MG08/15 i made out of an old edding-pen some balsa an plastic.

The weight over all and ready for flight now is 260 gr. But she flies-
that´s the most important thing!

CU in the sky guys!
