@flitetest can you do design if you don't have it yet? this thing flew like a dream in it's day, be awesome to see how it flies as a RC Plane.

Why not try your hand at it? Download inkscape, learn how to use it, watch some tutorials on making plans for foamboard planes. It isn't a very complex plane, and the design of the FT DR1 is close enough that you can study it to see how a plane like that translates to 2D. The only thing that will give you trouble is CG, that baby will need a lengthened nose or some weight.

Working on it, also studying what the Pilot who flew it had to say, Mick Mannock. Thank you @varg

I'm working on a Nieuport 17 scale to the FT DR1 that runs off of a 3D printed pneumatic radial engine I'm designing, I have all the measurements graphed out for the wings (even the airfoil and gauges), unfortunately I only know 3D CAD, but if you need measurements to save time I can give them to you (they're basically the same wing shape).
