French.......But the Brits flew it too.

So did the Belgians and the Italians. I have to look up my old aircraft books, but I recall the Belgian 11th squadron ones had a nice paint scheme.

As for me, as far as my building and flying skills go, I'd just as well skip the ailerons and go for elevator and rudder only.

......and I just happen to have some Belgian Roundels for just such an occasion!

Ok. Then I go straight to my reading nook and see if I can find my book on modelling the Belgian Air force again

I got Italian roundels too. I was thinking of trying one of the HUGE Caproni Bombers.

NOT the triplane? Please?

Oh? Which one don't you like? (There are several).

True, but the upper wing also had ailerons for roll control. With just scale dihedral and no ailerons you'll likely find it hard to get her stable and turn smoothly. The old free-flight models are a good baseline as they had to be stable with no pilot input. Might be able to get away with just ramping up the dihedral well beyond scale on the lower wing... Just my 2c though. Certainly looks good!

Officially, what scale is Mighty Mini?

Also, how do I take my home printer (8.5 - 11) to make huge print outs?

 

[Baron VonHelton]

I could REALLY go off the deep end & try THIS ONE........ROFLMAO!

William's Pink Jenny or my aircraft?

[Baron VonHelton]

What scale is the Flite Test Fokker Dr1 & SE5? I know it's ":Mighty Mini" scale, but what numbers?

1/5th? 1/8th? 1/12th?

 

[Baron VonHelton]

Yours

Danke!

That would be epic! You've got to try one.

 

[Mr NCT]

1/5th? 1/8th? 1/12th?

MM DR1 wingspan = 24"
DR1 wingspan = 283"
scale = .0848 about 11/128

All those wing struts, interplane struts & cabane struts my eyes would be permanently crossed........LOL!!

 

[Baron VonHelton]

MM DR1 wingspan = 24"
DR1 wingspan = 283"
scale = .0848 about 11/128

So pretty much NOBODY uses that scale........

 

[Baron VonHelton]

Nobody ever said building these aircraft was easy, but I totally redid the Nieuport 11 Bebe in one day..........Next will be assembly, after I sleep for a day or 2.....LOL!

 

[Mr NCT]

So pretty much NOBODY uses that scale........

Yeah, very roughly 1/12

 

[Baron VonHelton]

If at first you don't succeed......

 

[Baron VonHelton]

In case you forgot.........I still had THIS plane to finish painting.

 

[Baron VonHelton]

Yeah, very roughly 1/12

What's the biggest prop & battery I can use with a Power Pack F??
