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, as well as fabricating the forward upper deck between the cockpit and cowl with .010 fliteskin. Fliteskin will also be used to fabricate a few other access panels for some added detail.
stay tuned!

Ordered a replacement tail skid assembly, side cheeks and a radiator cap, from Proctor Enterprises. Great company to do business with! The stamped aluminum cheek pieces are a perfect fit for the hanger 9 with minimal work…
pictures to come when I get the order

While awaiting orders for Oratex to arrive, I started laying out the scallops for the wings
Started with a line 1/4” off trailing edge for the depth then used a new roll of tape as a guide…not perfect, but will pass for good on this ARF(didn’t want to cut more than a 1/4” deep)
I will stiffen up the trailing edge and “points” with thin CA before covering, if needed small strips of 1/64 ply can be used as cap strips for the trailing edge
