Description: A pair of lightweight WW I backyard flyers
Designed by Keith Sparks, these two biplane backyard dogfighters are based on simple scale Fokker D-VII and RAF S.E.5a designs. Construction is mainly of foam; the cabanes, interplane struts and landing gear are wood. A standard GWS power system and light electronics control these two great flyers. The plans have detailed drawings for the hot-wire foam-cutting tools and templates required to form all the parts needed. Formed plastic parts are available from the author at sparky2@alt.net.
