Hey everyone!

Here's my latest build. I wanted to build a WW1 fighter that was as simple a design as possible to attract as many potential pilots as I could. Dave Plank suggested a Scout because of the simple fuse, identical upper and lower wings, and simple cabane set up, so here it is.

scale 1/8
weight 3lbs 12oz
wing loading 16oz/sq.ft.
wingspan 37"
power OS .25fp
material 4mm coroplast 2mm coroplast foam turtle deck

Construction photos will soon follow.

Nice job Dan, I just checked the weight of my Tripe and your Scout is 2 oz heavier.

Heavier? More aerodynamic? Dan will catch you in by diving. This should be fun to watch. - Eric

When ever I see pics of your coro "combat" planes I can't help but think it looks too nice to bang it up in a combat sortie. Really nice work.

Hi Buzz when are the construction photos arriving I am interested in getting in to WW1 combat as it seems my only way, will be to build one, as I do not see any for sale.
I am more interested in sizing (plans) and attachment of cabanes, gluing is the easy bit.

Alan,

I have a cache of build photos, and I have poster baord templates as well. I guess its time to write a quick build article.

Hi Alan,

WW1 "Bloody April" will be at the Humber Valley field Apr. 29

I think everyone is figuring out the latest/greatest. (we all learn each time)

2-3 wings, cabanes, 4ch, and landing gear... It's a challenge, and alot of fun to fly.

Makes the WW2 Combat easier...

Come join us for the most fun you can have with a model airplane.

Ask questions. We all wonder why it's so much fun!

Take care,
Have fun,
