[go to post #30 for pics of the kit & start of build]


Its out boys!

I just bought mine today, I'm not sure if it will be here before Christmas.

$49.99 + $5 shipping.

Here is a video from Horizons Website - S.E.5A in action

I want one.

[barmonkey]

Just put an order in for one myself! I went through my LHS and he said it may just be in on Friday...we'll see.

The downside is...there will be another delay on my Powerline Sopwith Camel build...

[Voyager2lcats]

If I had not just scratch built one of these that video would have sold it to me. Wow!

[CarreraGTSCS]

The EFlite model looks nice. Has anyone seen the Lanier Se5a in person? I think that one looks good too.

Santa's bringing me the DynaFlite Se5a kit. It's made of this light brown stuff that comes in sheets and must be glued together. Seems vaguely familiar...

that light brown stuff....I remember that!

take some pics of it as you build it, I'd like to see the construction/plane/flight!

Thanks

Dangit Dave, you are making me crazy......

As it is, my motor I cashed, a buddy cleaned out for me and works fine now. So, I have a motor that will fit it, and no plane to put it in.......hmmmmmm.

Now, when those tubes you made get here I can put them to good use.

[Grasshopper]

[gfdengine204]

[Grasshopper]

Sorry :d

[stevecooper]

I thought they'ed be junk but not, I wish I had some smaller flite-packs, bub, steve

[WWI Ace]

I don't know if you guys know about this or not but you can get a foam Fokker triplane from Gary Villete at www.dvflightech.com to chase your SE5A's around. Steve

[WWI Ace]

Sorry its www.dvflighttech.com for the triplane. They fly great and the wings are held on with rare earth magnets!!! Steve

[stevecooper]

Steve: can't get link up, your bub, stevecooper

[gfdengine204]

I am hoping with the popularity of these, E-Flite makes more similaryly priced airplanes in this vein. Fokker, Stearman, Sopwith Camel.....yanno, all sorts of fun times.

[Tinman]

Ditto we need a e-flite Stearman.. hehe I'm not patient enough to build a GWS one.

[WWI Ace]

I can pull it right up stevecooper. Try doing a search for DV Flighttech and see if you can find it. Steve

[stevecooper]

Thanks steve, Hate to bug ya but Those Tri's sounded good an I've always wanted one!, your bub, stevecooper
