I am beginning to build a 46" Veron Fokker D8 and was curious if there was any information about it on the web. Just did a Yahoo search and Scale Models Forum was one of the hits. This is a kit my Dad had collected over the years. Planning on converting it from Glow to Electric.

*** Mark I built this very same model and converted it to radio,she flew beautifully but one word of warning,the way the wings are built in the kit is not really strong enough ,and the best way is to beef up the main spar with some plywood taking this at least 5 rib bays out,otherwise the wings will flex to an alarming angle,the worst scenerio will be a wing failure.

Just for safety on mine I added a couple of nylon fishing trace wires as an extra precaution.

Every Fokker D.8 that I have made as been an astounding flyer and they will rise off the ground even with a small engine,mine had a 15 size motor.

She will also handle a bit of wind no problem.

That's a great tip. I appreciate it!! I was just at my LHS purchasing the

hardware\electrics for it. It is going to be a fun project. Looking at the specs, I see that the centre section actually has some partial 1.5x50.8 balsa sheeting applied at the LE. Do you think I should carry it out onto the Outer Wing Panels as well?

[Guest]

Shouldn't really be any need to carry the sheeting out to the tips - extra wing tip weight isn't good.

Might be an idea to carry the sheet out a couple of extra bays but taper it off to avoid a sudden stress point.
