Loehle Fokker D-VII

wpeB.jpg (13831 bytes)

The Loehle Spad XIII, Fokker D-VII, and SE5a are cleverly designed around a common, highly engineered airframe; however, cosmetic changes in the cowlings, wing tips, etc., characterize each model.  You obtain your airframe nearly ready to cover.   The fuselage, wings, tail, and landing gear assemblies are pre-built using processes similar to those used by certified aircraft companies.  Your task of final assembly is quickly accomplished- install the wings, fuselage, and other assemblies then cover and paint, you are ready to fly your own "dawn patrol!"
