@ErictheSickist95 Do you ever go to the field to see the planes fly?

[ErictheSickist95]

@IGO4MAKO1 what field if i knew what one i probably would

[IGO4MAKO1]

@ErictheSickist95 It's on Rt.102 about 1/2 mile south of the outlets. Turn in the lot at Boyd Technologies and go around the back. Best time to go is Friday afternoons (4-6 PM) in the warmer months. Usually a nice crowd meets then. I drove right by it for years without knowing. Not anymore, too hooked.

i saw that one on you tube with spitefire they are nice

[IGO4MAKO1]

I'm going to try to film my old Fokker D7 flying next week. That's a cool one. I think it's from the 70's. It's about the same size as the sopwith but all white.

At first I didn't like it all white, but then I saw it fly and now I love it.

The old motor is very noisy, I love that too.

I have put ASP 91 FS on it for take off give throttle slowly and use a bit rudder to right because of thrust of engine pulls left go you tube on RC FOKKERS AND SOPWITH CAMEL by terrance 178 and you see mine with three fokkers try to take video next time flying

Nice Plane, I just looked.

I painted mine just a bit. I liked the look on the one on youtube @ Sopwith Camel and Spitfire flying in formation. I thought that one looked nice with the brown mid body.

Thanks i have finished and flown it little throws on ailerons it turns flys beutiful didnt expect it turns quickly.

[IGO4MAKO1]

I found that this plane is very responsive. Once you get the feel of it, it's very cool to fly. How did you do with take off's? Post some pics or video.

I recently picked up an old used Fokker D7. It flew beautifully until some engine trouble. Not much damage on minor crash in deep weeds. I'll have it up again soon. I've really taken a liking to the WW1 Biplanes.

This winter I want to build the Hangar 9 Fokker & put Woodstock in the pilot seat.

[darrenmicallef6]

how i flex the ailerons? they are fixed with the covering i wish to cut them and fix with great planes nylon hinges they will be sure flexible i noticed the ailerons dont move up that much and stress the servos and drain the battery

[IGO4MAKO1]

I should mention that I set the throw on the ailerons and the elevator at 30 %

They require very little movement or the plane oversteers quickly.

Also for take offs I found that pushing the elevator forward until the rear skid comes off the ground is the key. Then roll for a second or two & pull up gently.

This plane may be my favorate to fly. You'll love it

Hi im building the same sopwith can you tell me about the ailerons when i push them up i feel it hard is it normal?

[IGO4MAKO1]

@darrenmicallef6

Hi Darren, The ailerons on mine moved pertty much the same up & down. The trickiest part seems to be the take off. These planes seem to be very squirrely. They turn and flip over easily. I noticed some others taking off well. When I figure out the secret I'll let you know.

You might have to flex the ailerons a while to loosen them up.
