I didn't build this but Pat does such good work I thought I'd post this as a story of interest. I didn't know about Pat but I kept seeing some amazing balsa builds hanging from the ceiling of my local hobby shop. After inquiring about them I learned a little about Pat Tritle. It turns out he fly's at the same field I do and he lives only about 5 miles away. After bumping him at the field I asked him if he had any of his models for sale. It turns out he did. I went to his house to look around and it was like a candy store. He must have had between 30 and 40 planes and boats in there. They're hard to ship. I asked him which ones he was willing to part with and this Nieuport was one of them. Having just read a historical novel on the air war in WWI it caught my eye. It came with a couple of servos and I had to install the motor, esc and receiver. Its incredibly light and delicate. I don't expect to do much with it except fly it around in circles and maybe an occasional loop.
The original build log from 2007 is on RCGroups here:
