Default Fokker D VII Resheme

Wow, well it’s been a while! I thought i try to get back into it with a Hanger 9 60cc 1/4 scale Fokker D VII rescheme…

I’ve removed most of the covering and am awaiting my order of Oratex in antique color. Will repaint but haven’t decided on a scheme. I’m leaning toward an early “brushed” style but not sure…

Upgraded parts from Scale RC Engines include: new cockpit kit, new guns and dummy motor

Avian 8075-230kv brushless outrunner
Avian 120 amp smart esc(with fan)
2 Spektrum 6s 30c 7000mah LiPo batteries(12 cell)
Spektrum A6380’s for Servos
NX8+20 channel DSMX
AR8360T receiver with safe and telemetry
Best Pilots Lothar
MRRC sound
24x10 Xoar Scimitar WWI series prop


wish me luck!

Throwing around some ideas for simulated rib stitching, this is a mock up using painters tape and some cotton string(slightly to large atm)…I’ll use aluminum tape for final run cut into 1/8th in strips as long as needed. This will be applied before the Oratex.


I am also working a fix for the lack of the scalloped trailing edges for both the upper and lower wing surfaces…

stay tuned!

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to look for paint schemes? Used to be wings Pallette, but they seem to be no more….

thanks!
