WHAT DO YOU GET?

When I opened the box, I found a nicely

fabric-covered, sport-scale Fokker Dr.l.

When I looked through the contents of

the box, I found that it included the

plane, a dummy engine kit, machine

guns, a painted fiberglass cowl, vinyl

decals and a very complete-looking set of

hardware. I could no longer control my

enthusiasm, so I got busy at once! Within

40 minutes of opening the box, I had an

assembled triplane sitting on its wheels.

ASSEMBLY

To make sure I got it right, I began by

reading the included instructions. As 1

stated before, there really is not a tremen-

dous amount of work involved in getting

this plane ready to fly. I began by hinging

and installing the ailerons and elevators.

The hinges were among the few parts not

included in the package. I chose to use

medium Robart hinge points.

The kit includes all of the necessary linkages to

assemble the control system. I devised my own

method of hooking up the elevator-control surfaces.

The Fokker comes with some cable for a pull/pull

control system on the rudder, but I elected to use

Nyrod instead.

The triplane's wings

all come in one piece

and can be easily

attached with the sup-

plied metal bolts. The

cabane struts and inter-

plane struts are also

formed and ready to bolt

into place with small

L-brackets and screws.

The landing-gear wire is

already bent to shape; all

you have to do is insert

the wires into the

mounting slots in the

bottom of the fuselage

and into the sub-wing fairing between the

wheels and then secure them with the

supplied straps and screws.

The instruction sheet was a bit unclear

about how to install the tailskid; it simply

said to install the tailskid and spring with

the supplied bungee. A quick call to the

folks at Arizona Model Aircrafters

cleared everything up. The tailskid

should be installed with the supplied

angle brackets and screws. Next, attach

the hooks to either side of the fuselage

and then attach the spring to the skid

by running the bungee through it and

looping it around the hooks. Arizona

Model Aircrafters did inform me that I

had received an early version of the

model and that the directions have

since been modified.

ENGINE INSTALLATION

This is the only part of the assembly

that might be difficult for a beginner. I

elected to use an O.S. .52 4-stroke

engine in my plane. Because this is a

The size of the

plane and the

number of

wings may

tempt you to

install a larger

engine. Resist

the urge!

good-size plane with a lot of wings, it took

a great deal of willpower to resist the urge

to install something larger. I suggest that

you also resist this urge.

The plane is designed for either electric

or glow power, but glow fliers will need to

slightly modify the model. You must

enlarge the hole in the firewall so that the

4-stroke carburetor can extend back

through the firewall—a requirement if the

engine is to fit inside the cowl. Laminate

the two '/4-inch plywood engine mounts

together. While they set, enlarge the cen-

ter hole of the cowl to fit your engine and

mount the cowl on the plane.

Next, set the fuselage upside-down,

tape the engine mount into place and

mark the exact location of the engine on

the mount. Drill your mount holes, attach

the engine to the mount and then epoxy

the mount/engine assembly into place,

making sure to center the engine's crank-

shaft in the cowl hole. It actually sounds

more complicated than it is.

At this time, I modified the plane to
