Herr Cadez,

Great pictures of your new plane by that little photo elf.  ;D  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. :D

* 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!  ;D

And you will be in very fine company!

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.  ;D   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. 8)

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