  • This is a Balsa USA 1/4 Scale Fokker D.VII handed down to me from a friend. This series will cover the good, the bad and the ugly on what has occurred in the past, what will be done to make it right and turn it into a beautiful plane that will enjoy many years of flight. Join me for the journey.

    Bud, really glad to see you back. Have been worried about you. Hoping your fall is better than your summer. For sure, your priorities are right on. Looking forward to the build of your Ford Fliver.

    That engine sounds GREAT!!! I'm about to balance my Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Fokker D.VII. I'm worried about the amount of weight I have to add.

      I have 2 initial break-in cycles done. This Wednesday I will adjust low and high mixtures so she will be ready for her first flight.

      @@BudChristensen sweet!! Morris Mini Motors has a NGH 38 video. They sound great. I have a 1/3.8 scale Tiger Moth kit I think I'll put mine in. Balsa USA has a nice scale hub for it. I have one for my Saito 40.

    Cg for most BUSA kits is way nose heavy. a good fly able cg is on the leading edge of the lower wing and the aft limit should be by the front N strut attach point.

      Many thanks! I will get the plane setup and make measurements.

      Yes I added 5 lbs to get the manual CG. I have taken 3lbs out the nose. Flies so much better

      Don’t you want flat spots and wheel collars on those cabane struts?
