@Verdunveteran Yeah, the lack of magazine somewhat spoils the scale look but with a little modification you can always add your own magazine.
-
@mrtalkischeap This seems to be a damn nice RC replica of the S.E.5a though. To bad the Lewisgun on the top wing lacks the magazine.
-
@Verdunveteran I know...The bottom wing has a green bit where it attaches to the fuselage so you can connect the ailerons to servos.
-
@Verdunveteran And by the way: NO they did not use biplanes because they had greater lift than monoplanes! That is a modern day myth! They used biplanes because they were considered more stable constructionwise than the monoplanes of the time. Because of that biplanes where considered more suitable for military use. The Sopwith Triplane and the Fokker Dr.1 on the other hand was designed for greater lift to give them an climb advantage and superior maneuvrebillity in combat.

@mrtalkischeap The wing with the two roundels is the top wing! The one with one roundel on the beige background is the bottom wings!

@SpadXIIIFlyer Well I'm pretty sure the SPAD XIII had the main fuel tank in the bottom of the fuselage and the two auxiliary tanks centre of the top wing but still, the SE5a didn't have fuel tanks on the top wing. But the DH-2 was also the first purpose built fighter for the British so I can understand them putting the main tank on top of the wing lol and I think the Gotha V was redesigned so that the fuel tank was built into the fuselage. I'm not too good with WW1 aircraft as I am with WW2...

SPAD XIII had a fuel on the top wing.....just saying. I'm pretty sure the DH-2 had it too, and the Gotha bombers. And these are only the few i remember. So planes in WW1 did have fuel tank on the top wing.

Im a subscriber to rcnightmare and friends of rc, and i just subscribed to this channel, I had no idea you had this too, how many other channels do you have?? haha

The unboxing and then test flights work hand in hand and can make all the difference as we the consumers will or would want a particular plane. Keep up the good work
I think the wing you said was on top is actually the bottom wing, you can see that the top wing has a design on top while the bottom wing has it on the bottom. I love your unboxings though, keep em coming. I believe the spitfire is already out in the market, you should get one of those!!!

@rdsl05 Correct, the SE5a never had a fuel tank on top, I don't think any WW1 Biplanes had fuel tanks on top, It would be vulnerable to bullets alot more. Plus the roundels would be on the bottom on a biplane so people could identify the country easier and wouldn't be on the top wing and you can see the green bit where it will attach as a bottom wing on to the fuselage, which is green lol.

@63stikman lol this is where I'm suppose to say go take your own advice right? nah...yeah we gotta nail these unboxings first because there's much more info to be given in this format. Flying vids are coming up and they hold value but they don't always give ya the whole story.
