OOPS MARTY ! ! looks like you scared everybody away :-)

we're all WW1 nuts...you might just want to make us an offer we can't understand...

Gee Ron, I wasn't trying to scare anyone! :o Just offering my Buds here a chance at a deal. :cool: Sorry! Marty

I have one of those...very nice radio. Just wish it had the module like the 8U and 9C have.

Well, c'mon Marty, tell us what you're building. c'mon c'mon...tell us..
yeah yeah...tell us what it is....:silly: yup yup yup gotta know gotta know
pleeeeeeeeze ;)

Do you think he will make a RED airplane this time? LOL

Hi all, I just flew my scratch built Avro 504k!!!!!!!!!!!! K Close lunched it and it flew this time! This is my first scratch build and I am so happy!

Patryan

I second the motion, motion carried, so now Marty has to spill the beans, and reveal his secret project!!

:):D:Q:D:)

The Project
 

It's a WWI fighter and it's not small. And you bet your _sses it's not RED! :mad::eek::D Now I will release a clue every week until one of you guesses it :eek::D;). Marty

'Comon Marty!

Project
 

You'll wait and you'll like it too !!!! HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:eek::D;)

My First Guess:
A Fokker Dr1 built from Nick Ziroli Plans.
Possibly in Werner Voss' color scheme.

Project
 

WRONG! Guess again.................

He is going to supprise everyone with a RED Dr1. LOL

Lets see some pictures.

The lack of pic's is on me. I did snap some, but I used my cell phone. I spent forever last night trying to get them out and onto the net and I can't. I think I'm going to have to buy a memory card for the phone and move them about that way.
Pat did a bang up job on that Avro, he should be proud:ws:. I didn't take the sticks but it looked like a really smooth flyer.

Thats what I did. Much easier to do. My phone takes lousy pics but I can upload pics, music and even movies onto my phone now.

After he tried to fly it he thought he need you to help change the COG, did you have to change it? I am looking forward to what he wants to build next. Waiting to see if I have printed plane he can use as plans.

OK....How about a Fokker DVIII.
Perhaps from The Blue Max.

;)

Central or Allied powers? Can we get hint about that?

I say an Albatros D.II painted up like Oswald Boelcke's?

I have some pics to so I will see if K can help me upload them soon. K did help me with the CG and now it flys great.
K I will let you try it next time we fly :)

Naaahhh he's probably gona do a Sopwith Pup, and put Snoopy in it :-)

I wouldn't be shocked by that at all!!

:D:Q:D

Maybe something a little differant, a Caudron.

I'm guessing Marty will build some type of Austrian fighter. Steve

Some Turkish bird? Nah, he's to good at it to make a turkey. :D:D:D

Pfaltz?

Hmmmm, he said big didn't he? A 1/4 scale Gotha ?

Perhaps a full scale Eindecker.......LOL

I almost bought a 3/4 scale eindecker non-RC ultra-light back in '78.
Could kick myself now.:(

When you say "turkey" are you referring to the Fokker D9B? I heard the "B" stood for Butterball!! Isn't a Butterball turkey pretty close to 1/4 scale? LOL!!! Steve

A clue
 

Well Boys, the next project will be big , but hard to see! Marty

:DNot using clear monocote are you?

Did Turkey have Butterballs?
That would be far too hilarious and I would have to build one.

something early with no real fuse? Old pusher? pre WW1?

Another clue
 

Let's see how good you Guys really are! THINK!! What WWI plane was hard to see? Marty

The Rumpler/Etrich Taube was supposed to be "invisible" because of its translucent linen covering.
That was pre-WWI though (1909).

Fokker DVIII. Or the Fokker Eindecker that was covered in celluloid instead of fabric.

Look what I found. Think lozenge is hard to paint, try painting these wings. Next time I have to repaint my Albatros I may just have to do this one.

I love that paisley print! :$
Looks like they recycled drapes for the covering. :D:D:D

Neat degreen60!
