VonHelton Flugzeugwerke - The "World of Beautiful Aircraft"

[Baron VonHelton]

As I've said, I made a mod for the computer game "Red Baron 3D" called "Revenge of the Jastas III". I am literally bringing my skins & various aircraft from the computer to the real world. This is literally just the beginning of what I'm bringing forth. New aircraft you've never heard of, experimental aircraft, Home Defense skins (Kest 4B, for example) and much more.

that sounds incredible!!!!!

Do you ever dogfight with your WW1 planes? I don't know diddly-squat about them, but they are beautiful planes. A couple of them dancing around the sky would be most spectacular.

Well, I was thinking of putting them on Ebay with detailed instructions on how to build them. I'd rather sell them through the FT Store but I don't know if that's possible.

All you need is an F Pack, servo rods, landing gear rod, 2 2" wheels & an 850 battery.
(I think the servos, CCW propeller, firewall & aileron horns come with the F Pack from FT).
Of course, you're free to try a larger engine & battery.......Larger prop, too......An 8 inch prop would be more to scale, IMHO.......

So, once they are yours, you can do with them as you please. Personally, I can't bring myself to intentionally damage them.
(Experimental Fokker D7 shown. Finished models are MUCH better looking).

plans for these or no

I'm horrible at math, so no......I'm lucky enough to figure out the formula to put them in Mighty Mini Scale! LOL!

HOWEVER, I do have poster board cut-outs I could send you?

try to scan them or take measurements and put them into cad. that would be better for people out of postage range.

Vizefeldwebel Eduard Böhme of the Bavarian Air Force. There was no crosses on the sides & the rudder was solid black. Note that his Fokker Eindekker is grey, not tan!

Forgot the cheeks......Doublers? Not a problem, though. They can be made out of FT foamboard.

"Snow Bird was name given to this Austro-Hungarian Air Service Fokker A. III (German designation E. III) number 3.52, flown by Oberleutnant Ludwig Hautzmayer. This aircraft was assigned to Fliegerkompagnie 19 (Flik 19) at Haidenscafe aerodrome on the Isonzo Front in February, 1916. It served with this squadron until it was in a collision with another Fokker A. III (3.44) in August, 1916. Both pilots were attacking two Italian aircraft at the time and were able to land their aircraft without severe injury. Snow Bird, however, ceased from being Fokker Scourge and became in its own way Fokker Fodder. Overall, Snow Bird was credited with seven combat kills, five by Oberleutnant Hautzmayer. Most of its service duty was spent in strafing maneuvers in support of the Austro-Hungarian troops along the Italian Front. The overall green was confirmed to aero-historian Dr. Martin O'Connor by the revered Austrian naval pilot Gottfried Banfield, who had flown several Eindekkers in such paint schemes."

Regular tan color for comparison......

Right. Thanks to Ligbaer, I now have (hopefully in the right size!) the checkerboard pattern to do THIS plane!

Bit the bullet & moved my painting station out of the garage & into the house. Since these paint spraying air guns don't have CFC's, fluorocarbons, or aerosols, I figure it should be safe.

2 days of 20 degrees F & a foot of snow, might as well paint!

Wishing everyone a blessed New Year. May the gods grant us a better year than 2021.

That's a lesson that I have to relearn...over and over again. The FT foamboard does better than DTFB, but I still get wrinkles almost every time I paint in the cold. Good for you!

Not to get too off topic, but both Flying Penguin RC both made plans for a DTFB Jenny. The Flying Penguin plans were very clean and it appeared to be a very sturdy plane, unfortunately it looks like his website is defunct now.
