Herr Cadez,

Great pictures of your new plane by that little photo elf.    It is fascinating how you have gravitated towards the older airplanes (Taube, Moraine) and older style biplanes as you get deeper into this hobby.  I love them as well but I don't like biplanes* because why build two wings for one airplane?  In my books two wings equals two airplanes.

* unless I am force-fed a biplane (Skywriter) by the likes of Mr. Higgins and told "you will like it".... but then I am looking at an unbuilt E-Flite Pitts 15e biplane still in the box.  Oops!

Frank,

The Pitts is really quite stylish and worth the exception to your rule! 

And you will be in very fine company!

Great looking aeroplane Greg.  Congrats.

Greg,
What a great model choice...the Taube has character galore!
I understand the real Taubes used wing warping to  manouevre...does your  model use wing warping? Too bad we didn't get to fly the DH2 and the Taubr together!

Great looking plane.
I like the older styles of those flying machines.

Andy,

re: biplanes: And you will be in very fine company!


There is no way I am flying formation with you and your Pitts.  I like to do all my damage solo.     You can't be flying because who else would catch a photo of me coming out of the bean field with airplane pieces to add to the 5-6 you have in your collection already.

That too!!  But, as I tell folks who come flying with me,  "Hoff-Air is always better than full fare!!!"
