Peter Rake Fokker DVII

[scigs30]

Here is a Peter Rake Fokker DVII that was in a FSM magazine. The original did not have ailerons, but Peter drew a new wing to include the ailerons. This is a straight forward build without a lot of detail, but that is what I like. The plane is covered with Monokote and all the trim is Monokote ironed on at low temp. The final weight with all the electronics and balanced is 24 oz.

Looks nice, and one that should be in every WWI collection. Really pretty build. I need one.
I've been catching on to the idea of covering for trim lately, which really is easier than masking/painting, all said and done. It looks cleaner too.

I have a garage full of unbuilt RC planes, Free flight planes and Estes rockets, so simple and clean is the only way for me to go.

You can pass some of those kits this way.
To be clear, what I meant by simpler, is that it's a lot less messy than dealing with tape and paint. Still a good deal of effort put into covering trim work. Finally reworked an old Guillows Dauntless build with a lighter tail, removing the 3 tons of nose lead needed that kept me from flying it. I was just about to paint on the red stripes, and then decided to use Microlite for them. Turned out to be a good decision. The old one had a waterslide decal, but of course they don't give you a spare.
