Very Nice, how well does the Fokkers fly? Specifically the DR-1 Tri-wing? I have wanted that aircraft and the VII for some time. The VII has been as low as 129.00 from Hobby Lobby.

Excellent pictures, thanks for sharing. Sax

That's why I fly the foamies so much these days. The delta wing Parkzone "Stryker", is only $19 for the fuse and can easily break the 100MPH mark even with FPV gear. Strangely, it's difficult to tell you are going that fast unless you are right on the deck but that's fun too. :haha:

The grey Easy Star is actually two busted models made into one. They are very resilient and I've driven them into the ground and picked it up and flew away with no ill effects.

The DVII and SE5a are mine the DRI is a friends but as I understand it can be a handful. They are quite small so around 10MPH wind is about all they handle well or at least as much wind as I care to fly them in as they look silly flying sideways. :haha: They can be landed 2 point with consistency as long as they are brought in with a bit of speed until right over the threshold. The SE5a being the easiest to land with more forgiving landing gear. The DVII, as with the DRI, has very narrow and rigid gear making landings a bit more challenging. I'm currently recovering the DVII with some airbrush work too.
