Looks like a very nice flying plane. Have you decided on a power plant yet. Gas or electric?

**Mad Baron** · Dec 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

I'm going with a gas power probably a DLE engine.

Got my attention - I’ll be watching this one for sure.

I got the major assemblies of the wing assembled. I got some more trimming before I can join the wings to the center section of the wing. The wingspan is just shy of 8' and I used up one bottle of CA glue on the wing so far

. Had to order some more CA from MRC today and ordered a new Zenoah G26 to power this beast.

Got the engine I using to power this DVIII yesterday! Its a Zenoah G26.

I must have missed it, is this 1/4 scale, n ? The Zenoah G26 has a good kick for its size. Should be a sweetheart in your DVIII!

**Mad Baron** · Feb 7, 2020, 11:18 PM

It is 1/4 scale.

Got the wing 90% finished I'm 5' 9" tall and this wing is just shy of 8'. I know its not a biplane but it did serve in WW1. I get to start building the fuselage next!

8' wing! 1/4 scale is such a great size for aircraft from this period. 'Eager to see how the fuselage construction progresses!

**Mad Baron** · Mar 3, 2020, 06:14 PM

Got the fuselage framed up last Saturday.

Got the wing struts attached and ready for soldering, assembled the landing gear, sub wing & hatch covers. Its moving slow and steady, hopefully will ready for its maiden by late summer!
