Loehle Spad XIII
The Loehle Spad XIII, Fokker DVII, 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!"
