I know Vince had a YouTube channel I think under the username RCFBAircraft where he showed some of his building. Sadly I did not grab build pics from his website before it went down.

I checked and his YouTube and Facebook sites using that name are still up and running.

Hello all, I have just discovered these wonderful plans, and I have one question so far. What scale/page size are the full size drawings designed for? Are these scaled to print and fit on the standard DTFB size? Or larger? I see in the plans for each i downloaded several pages at are complete drawings labeled 54X35. Are these really for 54x35 Inches? and if so, what material are these plans intended for?
Thanks

The plans were designed for foam board or depron. Look at the drawing for the material. Vince was from Canada. Maybe his source for foam was different size than DTFB?
If you're cutting by hand, just print the plans as tiles, tape together, then arrange each of them to fit on 20x30 fb or whatever size material you're using. All of his plans that I've built are for 4.5mm~5mm thick fb. Some are incomplete plans that can be easily finished to your own specs.

Crashed my Vincent D-VII sometime last year, and it sat in pieces for a while. I decided to fix it and while looking at reference pictures of D-VIIs I decided to do the struts more realistically. Sadly, I’m not sure that the wings are on straight or that I didn’t twist them while gluing in the struts. But they look nice so I thought I’d post pictures before I go out and crash it again. I think I’ll design a wing placement gage for when I build a new one.

Sadly the twisted wing caused the D-VII to be nearly uncontrollable. I think I’ll start again with a new build after designing a jig to make sure that the wing goes on straight.
I salvaged all the electronics and they’ll go into the next one. I need to figure out where I put the skull and crossbones file.

I've stumbled across your posts a few times. My first attempt at flying Vincent's D-7 was a disaster. Way overbuilt and underpowered...uncontrollable. I'm doing a stripped down test version of it without the formers, stringers and poster board, also making it swappable. I saw you were doing alternate cabanes. Did you see this guys stuff... Cabanes?
Great stuff!

When I get off Honey-Do duty I'll get back to this! ...though there may be a MS F6F and MS P-40 in line a head of the D-VII. I love the article you linked and will give that a go on the next version. To save weight in the tail of my D-VII I used 1/4" blue foam (which is hard to get in Alaska now a days) for the formers, elevators and rudder. It's half the weight of foam board, so less trouble with CG.
