....it was a dark and stormy night.....and then it was day break  ;D

here's my 48in, KFm2 WW I monoplane semi scale on the lines of Eindecker, Pflaz. All coro and foam for the KFm step and some in the cowl.

 * AUW is about 580-600g, depending on the battery and uses a 1450 Turnigy motor, 20 A ESC, 9g servos, 7x4 prop with battery ranging from 1000 - 1500 mAh 3cell.

*  Controls are aileron and elevator only and the elevator servo has been intentionally installed exposed as I wanted a simpler setup for push rods.

* The pilot and guns are yet to be added... ;D

* Maiden was on last Sunday, mildly windy...but nothing Red Baron couldn't handle :giggle:

* due to cross winds, uneven clearing and lack of rudder, I avoided pursuing attempts to take off and decided on a hand launch instead as I just wanted to fly it....

...hope to get better footage and post videos....in the meanwhile here's the maiden.
